It’s looking like it may be the end of the road for Kelly Clarkson’s eponymous daytime talk show.
Multiple sources tell Page Six that the singer-turned-TV-host will be calling it quits after this season.
One insider described her pending exit from daytime as “definite” while another said it’s “likely that it will not go on.”
“[Her show] is a lot to put on, and looking at the landscape across daytime television, it’s not sustainable anymore,” they said.
Rumors swirled last year that former “Today” anchor, Hoda Kotb, was on the verge of replacing Clarksonamid her sudden exit from her hosting gig on NBC’s flagship morning show. And there was buzz that the singer wanted out, with NBC insiders telling the Post there was a long list of names, including Kotb, being floated to replace her.
But another insider told us that nothing’s been decided either way. They acknowledged there’s ongoing buzz around the halls of 30 Rock about its future, but said, “People are jumping the gun.” “Nothing is definite yet, and it’s a still a long season,” they added.
Multiple sources previously told Page Six Clarkson was looking to exit her talk show when her contract expires this year. At the time, Clarkson had been absent from her show, which we later learned was due to caring for her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who passed away at 48 in August, 2025, after a private battle with melanoma.
She and Blackstock, whom she divorced in 2023 after nearly a decade of marriage, shared children River Rose, 11, and Remington “Remy” Alexander, 9.
Clarkson’s focus has been on parenting and helping her children cope since their father’s death.
Clarkson participated in a fan Q&A session at the top of the year, where she revealed her favorite time of day is bedtime, when she gets to cuddle with her kids. “There’s been a lot for our family recently, and so I have allowed my kids to sleep with me quite a bit. So it’s my two dogs, my kids and me. It’s a lot,” she said.
“It’s been really special, though. The conversations you have during that time are pretty cute. So that’s probably my favorite time of day,” she added.
A rep for Clarkson and her talk show did not comment.
