Hoda Kotb Responds To Claims She’s Talking Over Kelly Clarkson’s Show
Kelly Clarkson’s eponymous daytime talk show is immensely popular. The show has received multiple daytime Emmys and consistently draws in viewers. The singer’s Kellyoke segments, where she belts out cover songs, often go viral as fans continue to be shocked by her vocal talents.
The multi-talented performer won American Idol over twenty years ago but hasn’t lost a bit of popularity. In fact, she may be ever more popular today than she was two decades ago. But with that popularity comes the risk of burnout.
Kelly Clarkson began hosting her talk show in 2019. It was an immediate hit with viewers. NBC even agreed to move the entire production to New York City to make her happy. But now there are rumors that she wants to move on from the show. Former TODAY co-host Hoda Kotb is on fans’ shortlist for a replacement. However, Kotb recently shut those rumors down and revealed the only talk show she’d consider joining.

Inside Her Tumultuous Life
Kelly Clarkson married Brandon Blackstock in a lavish wedding in 2013. She unexpectedly filed for divorce in 2020, kicking off a long legal battle. The two fought over money and custody of their kids. Blackstock was also her manager and responsible for the singer landing huge deals with The Voice and The Kelly Clarkson Show.
The former couple welcomed two children during their marriage: River Rose, 10, and Remy, 8. The kids moved to New York City with their mom after the divorce was settled. By all accounts, the family was thriving, and things with her ex had calmed down. However, Kelly Clarkson vanished from her talk show for a few weeks in March for reasons she still hasn’t disclosed.
Sources alleged that Brandon Blackstock was sick, and she took the kids to visit him. The absence only fueled speculation that she was done with the show. An insider spilled to Page Six that the singer has reached her limit.
“She knows her limits, even on ‘The Voice’, when she was working so hard, she knew when she needed a refresh – that’s what you’re seeing now,” they said. The source added that NBC would be okay with ending the talk show if it meant keeping Kelly Clarkson around to host holiday specials.
Kelly Clarkson hasn’t publicly addressed the rumors that she wants to end the daytime talk show. Do you think the show will continue beyond Season 7? Sound off in the comments.
