Overview
- The Kelly Clarkson Show will conclude with a series finale airing on Monday, August 31, 2026, after seven seasons and 1,260 episodes.
- In a parting on‑set interview published August 29, Clarkson said the routine of the show helped her through personal upheaval and that hosting it “saved me.”
- Clarkson announced in February 2026 that she would end the daily series to prioritize family life following the August 2025 death of her ex‑husband, Brandon Blackstock.
- The final episode was taped in early June and includes the last on‑camera appearances of her two children plus a June 11 segment that featured frequent guest Joel McHale.
- Over its run the program adapted to major disruptions — the pandemic, Clarkson’s 2020 divorce and related legal disputes, security breaches by a stalker, and a 2023 workplace‑culture report that prompted NBC to move production to New York — and Clarkson will return to television as a coach on The Voice beginning September 21, 2026.
