Overview
- Production on the current season will proceed as planned, and episodes are slated to air through fall 2026 with Clarkson hosting most shows and select guest hosts to be announced.
- Clarkson called the move a personal decision to step back from a daily schedule to focus on her kids, thanking fans, staff, and NBC for seven seasons.
- The syndicated series has won 24 Daytime Emmys since its 2019 debut and built a large digital audience, topping 2 billion annual social views for a third consecutive year.
- Trade coverage notes the show’s conclusion is a notable loss for daytime syndication in a market where high-cost, band-led talk formats have become harder to sustain.
- The announcement follows weeks of speculation and a prior denial, and Clarkson says she will continue making music and may appear on The Voice from time to time.
