Kelly Clarkson Announces End of Daytime Talk Show After Seven Seasons

Kelly Clarkson, the Grammy-winning musician and Fort Worth native, has announced that she will conclude her Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, after its seventh season. The decision, shared on Monday, reflects her desire to dedicate more time to her children, whom she had with her ex-husband in 2014 and 2016.

In her statement, Clarkson expressed gratitude for the opportunity to host the show, noting the exceptional team she collaborated with in both Los Angeles and New York. “This was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show,” she said. “Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”

The syndicated talk show debuted in September 2019, quickly becoming a staple in daytime television. Clarkson, who gained fame as the first winner of “American Idol,” showcased her engaging personality through interviews with celebrities and everyday heroes, alongside popular segments like “Kellyoke.”

Legacy of the Show

Throughout its run, The Kelly Clarkson Show cultivated a loyal audience, blending Clarkson’s musical talents with heartfelt discussions and entertainment. Clarkson acknowledged the immense support she received during her time on the show, stating, “I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, and all the fans who have supported our show.”

As her time on the show comes to a close, Clarkson emphasized that this is not a farewell to her career in entertainment. “I’ll still be making music, playing shows here and there, and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time,” she noted. “You never know where I might show up next.”

The final season of The Kelly Clarkson Show will continue as planned, with episodes scheduled to air through September 2024. Clarkson will continue to host Season 7, which will feature several guest hosts yet to be announced.

The conclusion of her talk show marks a significant transition for Clarkson, who has successfully balanced her career in music and television. As she embarks on this new chapter, fans and colleagues alike are likely to watch closely for her next ventures in both the music industry and television.
