Kelly Clarkson is finally coming back.
The Kelly Clarkson Show will return to air on Monday October 16.
It becomes the latest daytime talk show to reveal its return following the writers strike; Sherri returned in September, The Jennifer Hudson Show returned on October 2 and The Talk will be back on October 9. The Drew Barrymore Show has not announced its return after its eponymous host came under attack for planning to return ahead of the end of the writers strike.
Clarkson’s return comes as the pop star has moved her show from LA to New York. The series will begin filming on October 10 from NBC Studios, shooting in 30 Rock in Studio 6A, which is the former home to Late Night when it was hosted by David Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon.
The Since U Been Gone star will be joined by her house band Y’All, led by music director Jason Halbert, and will have around 200 fans per show.
The Kelly Clarkson Show, which has been renewed through 2025, is produced by Universal Television and distributed in syndication by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios. Clarkson execs produces with Alex Duda, who also serves as showrunner.
“I’m so excited to start our fifth season at the iconic 30 Rock,” Clarkson said. “There is such a unique energy and creative spirit that comes with filming in New York City. Y’all ready?”
Tracie Wilson, EVP, Syndication Studios and E! News, NBCUniversal Entertainment, said, “We launched the past two season premieres in New York with great success. When the opportunity to bring the show under the same roof as Today, Seth, Jimmy and SNL presented itself, we felt it was the perfect way to re-energize the show going into the fifth season.”
Alex Duda added, “We can’t wait to welcome a vibrant audience to join us in studio. There will be lots of surprises and plenty of giveaways. Kellyoke fans can expect to see Kelly and her band perform impromptu duets with our 30 Rock neighbors and talent from Broadway, plus more Songs & Stories episodes with artists such as P!nk, Garth Brooks and Chris Martin. We’ll also do our signature Good Neighbor segment, highlighting everyday people doing extraordinary things in their communities.”
