The Kelly Clarkson Show is slated to take over the time slot of the Ellen DeGeneres show next year.
The Kelly Clarkson Show will take over in fall 2022 on NBC-owned stations once Ellen comes to an end. Clarkson’s show currently airs on 200 stations across the U.S. President of NBCUniversal Local, Valari Staab, says that the network is looking forward to “Ellen DeGeneres’ 19th season paired with Kelly Clarkson for what is sure to be a blockbuster year.”
Talks have been swirling for weeks regarding who would be replacing the Ellen show. Actress Tiffany Haddish was rumored to be a consideration. Ellen DeGeneres announced that her show was ending shortly after employees brought up “toxic workplace” claims against her. This led to an investigation and a sharp decline in ratings. The 63-year-old has not directly linked her departure to the allegations.
The Kelly Clarkson Show is currently in its second season and was renewed last year for two additional seasons, which will go through 2023.
