Chelsea welcomes back friend and comedian Toccara Elise for a closer look at all things Jennifer Hudson. They laugh their asses off as they unpack the Oscar-winning star’s 2012 Weight Watchers-infused memoir, “I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down,” and the juicy moments Jennifer shared —including the infamous Oscars bolero debacle and Oprah yelling at her. Plus, they share a few updates on her romance with Common and her 25(!!!!!!) siblings.
