The Kelly Clarkson Show Is Over – American Idol Alum Says Goodbye

It a sad, sad day for fans of The Kelly Clarkson Show.  After seven seasons as one of top daytime TV talk shows, Kelly Clarkson announced on February 2nd that she has decided to end the series due to personal reasons. 

Keep reading for all the details, and to find out when the final episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show will air.  

Clarkson introduced her new daytime talk show back in 2019.  The Kelly Clarkson show could be classified as a variety show, and there was usually more singing than talking. 

The Kelly Clarkson Show Will Go Down In History

The American Idol alum has won 22 Daytime Emmy Awards for her series and her segments of Kellyoke (where she takes requests from the audience) have gone viral on more than one occasion. 

Over the past seven seasons she has also had a parade of A-List celebs on for interviews and their own performances.

Since Kelly Clarkson began her talk show on NBC, she has gone through a LOT in her personal life.  After years of battling with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in a nasty divorce, it was revealed that he was dying from Melanoma. 

Kelly abruptly took time away from the show during his passing to care for their two children and support them while they buried their father.  

Blackstock’s death was almost six months ago, and Kelly has since returned to finish up the season.  However, this will be her last season. 

She explained that she wants to prioritize her children and needs to be there for them moving forward.  Clarkson shared the unexpected news in an emotional post on her Instagram.
