Guess what Kelly Clarkson fans? It seems like we finally know when we'll get to see her back on our TV screens.
For the last few weeks, viewers have been concerned about Kelly's whereabouts amid her absence from The Kelly Clarkson Show. While various celebrities stepped up and took on the guest host role, many continued to wonder when Kelly will officially get back into the swing of things. Well, it looks like we have a major clue about when she'll be back — and it all stems from a March 17 post uploaded on The Kelly Clarkson Show's Instagram.
As The Kelly Clarkson Show's social team revealed the official lineup for who's on the program this week, fans realized Kal Penn would guest host on Monday, March 17, 2025. What's more, Andy Cohen will also emcee the show on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 — meaning Kelly will officially be back as host on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. And if that's not enough, in an official statement made to Good Housekeeping via email, Kelly Clarkson has returned to film new episodes of The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Just like us, fans were so excited about the prospect of Kelly coming back to host the popular daytime TV program.
"So glad Kelly is back! Can’t wait for this week, it’s going to be a crazy one 😜," one person exclaimed in the Instagram comments. "So Glad Kelly will be back! ❤️," another declared. "I’m so glad that Kelly will be back this week, too! ❤️😍," a different viewer added.
Well, this is the news we've all been waiting for! And while Kelly won't be hosting on Wednesday, since the Anderson Cooper show was pre-taped, fans can rest assured she'll be back on their screens Thursday for the rest of the week.
Despite not confirming the reason behind her unexpected hiatus, it doesn't look like Kelly has stopped working! In fact, she announced on March 14 her latest music collaboration with country group Rascal Flatts, with their duet of the band's 2001 track "I'm Movin' On" now available to stream online.
"Thanks @rascalflatts for letting me jump on 'I’m Movin’ On' ❤️," she wrote on Instagram. "I have always loved this song!"
We can't wait to see Kelly back on TV very soon!
