Kelly Clarkson is certainly keeping her fans on their toes! Earlier this year, Kelly sent her fans into a frenzy with an unexplained absence from her talk show. She returned after two weeks and The Kelly Clarkson Show went back to business as usual. But now, she's throwing another wrench into our daytime viewing plans by bringing back guest host Andy Cohen for the April 21 episode.

The show announced this week's lineup on Instagram, and Monday's episode features Idina Menzel, Mae Martin, and JohnnySwim. The official account later announced that Andy would be serving as the guest host.

Fans expressed their feelings in the comments section. Some were excited for Andy's return and the week's lineup, but others couldn't help but wonder (once again) about Kelly's whereabouts.

  • "But is kelly there? What's going on?"
  • "Is Kelly hosting/singing Tuesday morning taping?"
  • "Is Kelly out all week? Or just Monday?"
  • "Will not be watching monday's episode, I only watch when Miss Clarkson is hosting, so you lost a viewer for monday's show"
  • "not again 🤦"

There's no explanation for the guest host on Monday, and the rest of the week is stacked with appearances by Minka Kelly, Kesha, Bradley Whitford, Ben Affleck, Bob Odenkirk, Jennifer Beals, and Sadie Sink. It looks like Kelly is only missing the Monday show, and, according to her ticket site, she seems to be filming all week. But we'll stay tuned for any programming updates or changes.
