Why Kelly Clarkson Never Actually Wanted To Have A Talk Show

June 2024 · 2 minute read

Since 2019, Kelly Clarkson has been hosting "The Kelly Clarkson Show" on NBC. Currently, it is on its third season, according to IMDb. High-profile guests have included Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, Jason Momoa, and Sandra Bullock, to name a few. Those that have tuned in will be fully aware that Clarkson is a pro at her job and has a gift for getting the best out of her guests. However, she informed The Los Angeles Times in 2020 that it wasn't a career she had ever thought about pursuing. In fact, it wasn't a job she even wanted in the first place.

"I say that it's the dream I didn't know I had because I talk to so many people, and not just celebrities," she said. After working hard at the job for three years now, Clarkson has since realized how lucky and grateful she is to be a talk show host who interviews people from all aspects of life. "I've talked to the people that have been hit hardest in all of this — financially, emotionally, mentally," she said. "It's really the everyday people on this show that have just lifted my spirits when I've been feeling like, 'Oh my God, nothing else could possibly go wrong at this point, like, send in the locust.'"
