Fans Confused As The Kelly Clarkson Show Disappears From TV
The Kelly Clarkson Show has been one of the highest-rated daytime talk shows since its premiere. The show has won multiple awards, including four Emmys for Outstanding Daytime Talk Show Host. Despite its popularity, the show is ending. Kelly Clarkson decided it was time to end the show after her ex-husband’s death so she could be there for her kids.
The show won’t officially go off the air until later this year. However, longtime fans noticed a disturbing trend.

The fan wrote that they can’t find the show on television during the day. Other viewers chimed in with the disappointing news that Kelly Clarkson’s talk show has been removed from the daytime schedule in many parts of the country.
- “Not sure what city you’re in but some affiliates have moved it to the middle of the night since they know it’s ending. I saw one market was airing it at 3am until it concludes its run.”
- “I would suggest that depending on what market you’re in, you’re now going to have to check your program guide to find it.”
- “It’s on Bravo in the middle of the night if you have no other way to watch it.”
It seems that TV stations are preparing for the end of the talk show. A new report reveals that Kelly Clarkson has also been replaced.
