Where Did Kelly Go? Fans Wonder About Her Talk Show Absence

Kelly Clarkson, the beloved host of a popular daytime talk show, has been notably absent for over a week. Fans have been left guessing about her whereabouts, as various celebrities have stepped in to fill her shoes. The mystery began on February 27, when Roy Wood Jr. took over the hosting duties. Since then, a parade of famous faces like Simu Liu, Wanda Sykes, and Brooke Shields have kept the show running smoothly. Liu, who was called in at the last minute, even joked about his surprise gig. Clarkson briefly returned for a couple of days in early March, but the episodes were pre-recorded. This left fans wondering if she was dealing with a personal matter or just taking a break. The show's schedule has been packed with guest hosts, including Willie Geist and Molly Sims, who are keeping things lively in her absence. Fans have taken to social media to express their concern and curiosity. Some are worried about her well-being, while others remind everyone that Clarkson doesn't owe them an explanation. The show is set to return to its usual format, with Clarkson back in the host's chair for three days next week. But Kal Penn and Andy Cohen will step in for the remaining shows. Clarkson has been hosting the Emmy award-winning show since 2019 and is on track to hit her 1, 000th episode on March 20. When she's not chatting with celebrities, she's spending quality time with her kids. Her daughter River Rose, 10, and son Remington "Remy" Alexander, 8, are the lights of her life.
