After seven seasons, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” will conclude its run in national syndication, following host Kelly Clarkson‘s decision to step away from the program after this season, it was announced on Monday.

According to NBCUniversal, which produces and distributes the talk show through Universal Television and NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, production will continue as planned with Clarkson hosting, though a few special guest hosts will step in from time to time. Season seven episodes will air through Fall 2026.

“I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,’ both in Los Angeles and New York,” Clarkson said. “There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner. Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show.’ Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives. This isn’t goodbye. I’ll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on “The Voice” from time to time … you never know where I might show up next. But for now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.”

“‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ has been an extraordinary collaboration,” said Tracie Wilson, Executive Vice President, Syndication Studios. “I’m grateful to Kelly for bringing her talent and energy to this. Her warmth, quick sense of humor and connection with people created a show that made fans feel seen, heard and a little bit better about their day.  We couldn’t have achieved the show’s success without our exceptional showrunner/EP Alex Duda, whose vision, leadership and unwavering commitment across all seven seasons have guided us through unprecedented times and a cross-country move. Together with producers, staff and crew, they created a legacy to be proud of.”

Valari Staab, Chairman of NBCUniversal Local, said, “‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ has been a valued part of our NBC-owned stations’ lineup for seven seasons, always delivering an entertaining and engaging show for our daytime audiences,” Staab said. “We thank Kelly and the production team for the wonderful, high-quality show they’ve produced consistently since 2019, and look forward to the remainder of this season as they complete their successful run.” 

The Daytime Emmy-winning syndicated series redefined the talk show genre by bringing celebrities and everyday heroes together on the same stage to celebrate hope and harness the power of music, meaningful conversation and stories that spotlight the best of humanity. The Kellyoke segment has become a signature cultural touchstone, often sparking what fans and media call “The Kelly Clarkson Effect,” where Kelly and her band reimagine songs in ways that resonate deeply with audiences and earn praise from the original artists themselves. 

Since its debut in 2019, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” has consistently held a top spot in daytime, captivating a multi-generational audience across broadcast and digital platforms. Its digital footprint continues to expand in season seven, surpassing 2 billion annual views across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for the third consecutive year, while adding 6.5 million new social followers, underscoring its unmatched reach and cultural influence. 

The show received widespread industry recognition for its excellence across talk programming, writing, production, technical achievement and original storytelling on digital. “The Kelly Clarkson Show” won 24 Daytime Emmy Awards, including four consecutive wins for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series and four consecutive wins for Outstanding Talk Show Host. The show also earned major wins from the People’s Choice Awards, Gracie Awards, Webby Awards and the Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards and numerous nominations from Critics’ Choice Awards, MTV Movie & TV Awards, GLAAD Media Awards and the Writers Guild of America Awards.

“Songs & Stories” episodes on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” have featured an impressive lineup of artists, including Alanis Morissette, Babyface, Miranda Lambert and P!NK, each bringing candid conversations and unforgettable musical moments that blend iconic hits, personal storytelling, and powerful performances at the heart of the series. An NBC primetime spin-off of the long-running hour-long “Songs & Stories” segments featured the Jonas Brothers, Gloria Estefan, Teddy Swims and Lizzo. They proved highly successful, cementing themselves as standout Summer 2025 programming, driven by the exceptional work of Clarkson, her band and the show’s Daytime Emmy-winning producing and production team.

From its beginnings in Los Angeles to its current home in New York, the show created a coast-to-coast opportunity for fans to experience, in person, surprises, live music, connection and meet people whose stories inspire meaningful change.

Gutted that it is ending. She really is the best host in daytime television; guess I will shift my focus to Drew Barrymore. But I fully understand her decision to focus on her family. That's top priority.

Saddened to hear the news. I loved the show. When my dad heard the news, he said, "I bet it's to spend more time with her family after the loss of her ex-husband."

I wonder what NBC/Universal has in store as a replacement show? With the Sherri Shepard news, that show is being shopped around. Is NBC about to surprise us all???

Awww. I never sat down to watch it, but I always saw clips and heard nothing, but great things about it. And I like Kelly Clarkson ('Since You've Been Gone' gets rocked out to often at work) overall so that is sad to hear.
