Kelly Clarkson's Talk Show Exit Imminent?
24 Jan
Summary
- Clarkson reportedly ending her daytime show after season seven.
- Staff are sensing the show is no longer vital to Clarkson.
- Loyal staff and their potential job losses could influence Clarkson.
Kelly Clarkson may be on the verge of concluding her acclaimed daytime talk show after its seventh season.
Reports suggest Clarkson's departure from 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' is definite, ending months of speculation about her future with NBC. An insider revealed Clarkson wishes to conclude the series on a high, feeling she is 'still on top.' However, another source indicated that many crew members believe the show is no longer a primary focus for Clarkson.
The situation comes amidst personal challenges for Clarkson, including the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, in August 2025. This loss has understandably shifted her priorities towards her two young children, River, 11, and Remington, 9.
Clarkson's close relationship with her staff, whom she reportedly treats as friends and knows by name, presents a significant factor in her decision. The potential departure would leave her loyal crew unemployed, a consideration that could sway her choice to continue hosting.
Despite rumors of Hoda Kotb being a frontrunner to replace Clarkson, Kotb has dispelled these, affirming her commitment to the 'Today' show. Executives have assured staff they will be assisted in finding other positions should 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' end.
