Where is Kelly Clarkson? Guest hosts step in for singer amid ongoing absence
Kelly Clarkson's absence from her eponymous daytime talk show continued on Wednesday as Willie Geist stepped in to host the program.
"I am very much not Kelly Clarkson, and I'm sorry for that," he began. "I'm Willie Geist, and I will be your guest host for the hour ahead."
The American Idol alum has not hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show since March 5 and her lengthy absence has not been addressed, leaving some viewers worried. Clarkson's rep and NBCU were asked to comment but did not receive responses.

Ozempic weight loss related?

Take as much time away from the show as you want, Kelly.
What are they going to do? Fire you from your show?

Damn, could we be preparing for another Wendy Williams situation? The same thing happened to her show before they finally pulled the plug and gave Sherri Shephard her own show.

It really must be something unanticipated and serious if they have to pull in someone from their news division to cover. I can't imagine a news person would be pleased by having to pause his regular work to do this.
And then there's this.
[QUOTE]The "Since U Been Gone" singer had her first unexpected absence last Monday when actor Simu Liu stepped in at the last minute.
[QUOTE]"Kelly isn't able to make it today. We're sending her our very best," he said at the top of the show. " "I did not know that I was doing this until about five minutes ago when I arrived to promote my new movie, Last Breath."

It could be a health related emergency, if not hers, maybe one of her kids, or her parents?

They have had some weird guest hosts filling in for her.
Simu Liu, Joshua Jackson, Brooke Shields, and Willie Geist.
That's so random.

Yeah, sounds like a medical-type situation for either herself or a close family member/child.
Perhaps a complication from her weight-loss med (NOT Ozempic, but another similar one - per her own admission).

R6 Oh please. That ho is probably praying this turns into something more exhaustive with Kelly having to resign for some personal reasons. TV news especially mainstream branded news is dying an awful death as a money making endeavor. It’s on its sad last days. Nobody watches that shit.
Long story short, Willie would love to have his own daytime talk show.

Ozempic and Wegovy and all these other drugs can fuck up your pancreas and liver and kidneys. They can shred your GI tract. I like crazy Kelly. She has a good voice. But honestly, I wish a big name celebrity who took that stuff would have some side effects and be pubic about it because that shit is dangerous.

I think she was on yesterday (3/18). I was stuck at my car dealer's, and they had her show on in the waiting room.
Andy Cohen is wrapping up today's show and just said she'll be back tomorrow. Thrilling.

She already admitted it wasn't just diet and exercise - that it was another medication that her doctor prescribed because her body wasn't processing sugar properly.
She said it wasn't Ozempic, so it was probably Mounjaro.

Daily Fail reports she's been 'overwhelmed' at how much work the talk show takes and needed to step away, but NBC wants to keep her: and could offer her Hoda's spot on Today.
[quote] A 30 Rock spy explained to DailyMail.com brass are 'scrambling to keep' Clarkson, after moving filming for her show to the network's NYC headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Center in September just 'to keep her happy.'
[quote] An offer to help host Today was also extended as a result, our source said, which the star is said to be considering carefully. As for the host's unexplained ten-episode absence from the 'Kelly Clarkson Show' this month, the insider said Clarkson simply had to step away after suddenly finding herself 'overwhelmed'.

She wouldn't have to sing everyday (which I'm sure by itself requires a ton of work/practice). Today Show would be simple banter and teleprompter reading.

No dummy—learn to read. Craig has already replaced Hoda as a main anchor.
Kelly’s going for the lame-ass “fourth hour” that no one watches.

Kelly has a following. She has a legitimate audience. And IMO that's kind of scary. I look at her, and at Jennifer Hudson, and it is chilling what the public appetite for this crap is.

It’s been almost 3 months and she’s still not back. There are now anonymous stories saying she may never be back. I’m not a fan but am genuinely curious as to what’s going on. Three months is a long time to be absent from your own show.

I find these long breaks to be a bit weird. Did this shit happen in days gone by? Seems ridiculous to be able to leave your eponymous show for months on end with no explanation. But I guess people keep watching.
