Kelly Clarkson has announced that The Kelly Clarkson Show will conclude at the end of its current seventh season, marking the end of a successful daytime television run that began in 2019. The singer and television host shared the news in a personal statement, emphasizing gratitude, reflection, and a desire to refocus on family as she enters a new chapter.
“I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at TKCS, both in Los Angeles and New York,” Clarkson wrote. “There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for.” She also thanked the guests, audiences, and NBC, calling the network “such a supportive and incredible partner.”
Clarkson acknowledged that the decision did not come easily. “Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision — but this season will be my last hosting TKCS,” she continued. “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.”
Premiering on September 9, 2019, The Kelly Clarkson Show quickly distinguished itself within the daytime landscape. Built around Clarkson’s warmth and musical instincts, the show blended celebrity interviews with stories of everyday people, culminating each episode with “Kellyoke,” her daily musical performance. Over time, the segment evolved into fan-favorite variations, including “Kellyoke Classic” and “Cameo-oke.”
The series also proved to be an awards powerhouse. Across seven seasons, it earned 22 Daytime Emmy Awards, including multiple wins for Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Entertainment. Clarkson herself received consistent recognition, winning Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host in 2020, 2021, and 2022, followed by Outstanding Talk Show Host in 2023. The seventh season premiered in September 2025 and will now serve as the show’s final chapter.
Clarkson was careful to frame the announcement as a transition rather than a farewell. “This isn’t goodbye,” she reassured fans. “I’ll still be making music, playing shows here and there, and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time.” She added with characteristic openness, “You never know where I might show up next.”
While NBC has not yet announced a replacement for the time slot, the conclusion of The Kelly Clarkson Show signals the end of a rare daytime success story built on consistency, authenticity, and music. As Clarkson put it, “For now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.”
