The Kelly Clarkson Show

The Kelly Clarkson Show is an American daytime talk show hosted by singer Kelly Clarkson. It premiered on NBC on September 9, 2019, with Clarkson bringing her career as a recording artist and television personality to a format built around interviews, music, and audience participation. The program is produced by Universal Television and filmed at Universal Studios in Los Angeles.

Clarkson first became widely known after winning the inaugural season of *American Idol* in 2002. Her later television work includes serving as a coach on NBC’s *The Voice*, a role that helped make her a familiar presence for viewers beyond her music audience. On her talk show, that musical background is part of the program’s identity: episodes often open with “Kellyoke,” in which Clarkson performs a cover song. The segment has featured songs from different eras and genres, and its performances have circulated widely online.

The show combines conversations with celebrity guests and people whose experiences or work have attracted public attention. Its tone is often informal, with Clarkson joining guests in humorous exchanges rather than limiting interviews to standard promotional questions. The program also includes musical performances and recurring features. One early example, “Good Neighbor,” highlighted people making a difference in their communities, while “What I’m Liking” gave Clarkson a space to share things she enjoyed.

A notable feature of the show’s early history was its rapid expansion. NBC renewed it for a second season before the premiere, and it later received renewals that kept it on the network’s daytime schedule. In 2020, the program won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show, and Clarkson won the award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host. These awards placed the series among the leading U.S. daytime talk programs during its first year.

The show’s production history also reflects a significant change in location. It originally taped in Los Angeles, but beginning with its fifth season in 2023, production moved to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The relocation brought the program into NBC’s New York studios and made it part of the network’s established television center.

Across its run, *The Kelly Clarkson Show* has drawn on the host’s experience as a singer and performer while retaining the recognizable structure of a daytime talk show: guests, conversation, comedy, and music. “Kellyoke” is its most distinctive recurring element, giving the series a musical opening that connects directly to Clarkson’s career. The show’s awards, network renewals, and move from Los Angeles to New York mark key milestones in its history.
