       'The Kelly Clarkson Show' to End After Seven Seasons:   
       This 'Will Allow Me to Prioritize My Kids'   
       -----------------------------------------------------   
       "The Kelly Clarkson Show" is coming to an end after its currently   
       airing seventh season.   
      
       The show's conclusion was Clarkson's decision. In a statement   
       thanking her crew and fans, she said, "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."   
      
       The news comes after the 2025 death of Brandon Blackstock, who   
       was her ex-husband and former manager as well as the father of   
       her two children. Blackstock, who battled cancer for three years,   
       was 48.   
      
       Production on Season 7 of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" will continue   
       as previously planned, with the series airing its final episodes   
       this fall. The season will also feature special guest hosts to be   
       announced at a later date.   
      
       Clarkson's full statement reads, "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. 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" premiered in 2019. The series features   
       Clarkson as she interviews celebrities as well as non-celebrities   
       with inspiring stories. Each episode opens with a "Kellyoke" segment,   
       in which Clarkson and her band perform covers of other artists'   
       songs. The show's occasional "Songs & Stories" episodes see Clarkson   
       do deep dives on the work of artists such as Alanis Morissette,   
       Babyface, Miranda Lambert and Pink, with NBC later airing a primetime   
       spinoff in which she interviewed the Jonas Brothers, Gloria Estefan,   
       Teddy Swims and Lizzo.   
      
       Throughout its run, "The Kelly Clarkson Show" has won 24 Daytime   
       Emmys, including four consecutive wins for both outstanding daytime   
       talk series and talk show host.   
      
       "The Kelly Clarkson Show" is produced by Universal Television and   
       distributed by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, airing in over   
       200 markets nationwide. Alex Duda serves as showrunner and executive   
       producer.   
      
       "'The Kelly Clarkson Show' has been an extraordinary collaboration,"   
       said Tracie Wilson, executive vice president of NBCUniversal   
       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."   
      
       "'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," said Valari Staab,   
       chairman of NBCUniversal Local. "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."
