Noah Wyle Was Too Embarrassed to Do Jennifer Hudson’s Talk Show Spirit Tunnel: ‘Nobody Needs to See It’ | Video

Noah Wyle turned down the famous “Jennifer Hudson Show” Spirit Tunnel ahead of his Tuesday interview — and the EGOT-winning talk show host made him answer for it first thing.

“You turned down the Spirit Tunnel. Tell me the story,” Hudson said at the top of the interview.

“Is that what you call it?” Wyle asked.

“Yes, we call it the Spirit Tunnel,” the host enthused.

The so-called Spirit Tunnel has been a topic of regular viral fame for “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” serving as a grand entrance for the day’s guests to be cheered and celebrated by series staffers as they walk down the hallway and into the studio for their interview. Often set to cheer squad-type songs, highlights have included social media hits with Gwen Stefani, SZA and Aaron Pierre.

Wyle, however, was too embarrassed to accept the attention, apparently still adapting to his own newfound viral fame. The star of “The Pitt” has been doing more press hits than we have seen from him in some time — while simultaneously being thirsted over on the internet — ahead Thursday’s Season 1 finale.
