Overview
- The Kelly Clarkson Show closed with a fan-request “Kelly Clarkson by Request” finale that aired Monday, Aug. 31, 2026, and featured Clarkson performing her hits and the series’ last-ever Kellyoke.
- For the final Kellyoke Clarkson delivered a high‑powered cover of "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters, a performance that quickly went viral and drew praise from the song’s co-writer EJAE and other celebrities.
- Clarkson announced in February she would end the show to focus on her children, and she invited her two kids onstage during the finale as part of her public explanation for stepping back from the daily schedule.
- The show ran seven seasons with more than 1,200 episodes and won multiple Daytime Emmys, and executive producer Alex Duda credited Clarkson’s talent for connecting guests as central to its format and success.
- The finale underlined the program’s musical identity and cultural reach by spotlighting an Oscar-winning K-pop song and the episode will stream on Peacock in early September 2026, while Clarkson continues to plan selective music and TV appearances.
