Hudson expressed admiration for Kaling's brilliance and trust, noting, 'I have to say, I've fallen in love with this woman. And she's not only so brilliant but so trusting.

'She is a powerhouse and delivers what she says she's going to deliver,' added Hudson, emphasizing the show's promising future with a second season confirmed after a successful first run. 'Running Point,' inspired by Jeanie Buss's career, follows Hudson's character Isla Gordon, a CEO battling sexism in the league, capturing audiences and garnering positive reviews.
