USAThu Mar 13 2025
Kelly Clarkson's talk show fans have been left wondering where she is. This is because she hasn't been seen on her show since March 5. Her guests hosts have been stepping in to keep the show running. Willie Geist was one of the guest hosts. He started the show by joking about not being Kelly Clarkson. He then read a list of things he wanted to do by the age of 50. One of those things was to guest-host a talk show. He joked that it was oddly specific and predictive for a 12-year-old. He then introduced Marc Broussard, another talented artist, to do the opening.
Clarkson's first absence was on March 3. Simu Liu stepped in to host the show at the last minute. He mentioned that he didn't know he would be hosting until he arrived to promote his new movie, Last Breath. Clarkson didn't mention her absence when she returned for two shows on March 4 and 5. She didn't perform her fan favorite "Kellyoke" segment on March 5. Instead, she pulled from the show's archives. She hasn't hosted since last Wednesday. Guest hosts have been filling in for her since then. Roy Wood Jr. hosted the program on March 6. He promised the audience they were in good hands. Wanda Sykes and Josh Groban split duties on March 7. Sykes joked that she agreed to host just so she could get applause on her birthday. Brooke Shields hosted on March 10 and 11. She mentioned that she was happy to help out another mama.
Clarkson has two children with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. They are River, 10, and Remy, 8. The show's official Instagram account released a schedule. It doesn't appear that Clarkson will be back this week. Molly Sims is set to host on Thursday and Friday. Fans have been expressing concern on social media. They have been asking "where's Kelly? ? ? " and "is Kelly OK? "It's unclear why Clarkson has been absent from her show. Some viewers are worried about her health. Others are speculating about other reasons for her absence. It's important to remember that celebrities are human too. They have personal lives and sometimes need time off. It's not always easy to balance work and personal life. Fans should respect Clarkson's privacy and give her the space she needs. In the meantime, guest hosts will continue to fill in for her. They are doing a great job of keeping the show running smoothly.
