The acclaimed singer-songwriter and beloved TV personality, Kelly Clarkson, has notably been absent from the hosting duties of her eponymous, widely syndicated talk show in recent episodes, piquing the curiosity of her devoted fanbase. Since its September 9, 2019, debut, "The Kelly Clarkson Show" has cemented its status as one of television's most cherished daytime conversational hubs, making Clarkson's absence all the more noteworthy.
Here's an update on the intriguing mystery surrounding Kelly Clarkson's recent absence from her own show.
Neither Clarkson herself nor any of the show's producers have issued an official statement explaining her whereabouts. It's worth noting that Clarkson last graced the show's stage earlier this month, with esteemed guest hosts stepping in to fill the void in her absence. Among the A-listers who have lent their charm to "The Kelly Clarkson Show" during this period are actor Simu Liu, comedian Roy Wood Jr., comedian Wanda Sykes, and actress Brooke Shields.
Shields hosted the March 10 episode with plans to reprise her hosting duties the following day, March 11. On March 12, the hosting reins will be handed over to Willie Geist, anchor of "Sunday Today." Following Geist, model and actress Molly Sims will take the stage for the remaining two days of the week.
During his surprise hosting stint, Liu humorously revealed that he hadn't known he'd be filling in for Clarkson "until five minutes ago," when he arrived at the studio to promote his latest film, "Last Breath." He added with a grin, "Here I am, embracing the challenge head-on, as always." (Source: The Mirror)
While Clarkson has yet to offer an official explanation for her absence, some fans are speculating that she might be taking a well-deserved break to bond with her family. Clarkson shares two adorable children, daughter River Rose and son Remington "Remy" Alexander, with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
