The curtain may soon fall on Kelly Clarkson’s self-titled daytime talk show, signaling a potential end to her TV hosting journey.

According to multiple insiders speaking with Page Six, the pop star-turned-host is expected to conclude her show after this current season wraps up.

One source emphasized the certainty of her departure, describing it as “definite,” while another hinted that continuing the show seems “unlikely.”

“The demands of producing [her show] are immense, and given the shifting trends in daytime television, maintaining it is no longer feasible,” they explained.

Last year, speculation was rife that ex-“Today” anchor Hoda Kotb was in line to take over from Clarkson following her abrupt departure from NBC’s premier morning program. There was also chatter that Clarkson was eager to step away, with NBC insiders indicating a roster of potential replacements, including Kotb, was being considered.

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.
