On "Hairspray Live!," her character was a Baltimore DJ and record store owner who convinces Tracy Turnblad's mother, Edna, to embrace her body before appearing on live television.

Before Hudson starred as Maybelle, Ruth Brown played the part in the 1988 film version, and Queen Latifah played it in the 2007 musical version.
