Production is planning to kick off the new season with a 30 Rock rooftop party at the talk show’s iconic New York City headquarters. The premiere week event will feature Kelly Clarkson performing a Kellyoke medley with house band Y’All to an audience of New Yorkers, including The Kelly Clarkson Show Good Neighbors and Rad Humans, people who are stepping up for their local communities.
The Kelly Clarkson Show has been the top-rated afternoon talk show over the course of its five seasons. The show has aired 884 original episodes. Clarkson has covered more than 800 songs in the show’s popular Kellyoke segment, which has demonstrated that she can just sing about any kind of song. 2024 Grammy host Trevor Noah alluded to Clarkson’s skill in the segment when he joked at the ceremony that if winners went too long in their acceptance speeches, “We’re going to get Kelly Clarkson to cover one of your songs better than you ever could.”
Since its launch in 2019, The Kelly Clarkson Show has won 22 Daytime Emmy Awards, including multiple wins for outstanding daytime talk series and outstanding daytime talk series host. Clarkson has personally won eight Daytime Emmys over the course of the first five seasons of her show (compared to three Grammys over a much longer period of time). Impressively, she has won at least one Emmy in each of the five seasons.
In accepting the award for outstanding daytime talk series for the fourth consecutive year at the ceremony on June 7, Clarkson gave special thanks to NBC for listening to her concerns when she proposed moving the show from Los Angeles to New York.
“Thanks to NBC for believing in our show. … The fact that NBC, a huge company, took time and listened when I said ‘Hey, my life is not going super great. I don’t know if I can live here [in L.A.] anymore. I don’t know if I can do this.’ And they really wrapped their arms around us and they helped us move. And the move has been so great for not just me and my family but our whole show. It takes a lot of time and money and effort to do that. It is not unnoticed. I just want to say thank you for thinking of mental health as well as, you know, a product.”
The show averages 1.3 million daily viewers and has grown each season. Clarkson serves as executive producer with Alex Duda, who also serves as showrunner. Y’All is led by music director Jason Halbert. The series is produced by Universal Television and is distributed in national syndication by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios.
