'The Kelly Clarkson Show' - Clarkson's sudden absence raises questions
Kelly Clarkson's mysterious absence from her show "The Kelly Clarkson Show" has left her fans concerned, with a large number of people asking why guest hosts are being used to replace her.
She has not publicly disclosed a specific reason for her recent absences from The Kelly Clarkson Show, which have led to the use of guest hosts.
Her absence started this month , with guest hosts such as Simu Liu, Roy Wood Jr., Wanda Sykes, Josh Groban, Brooke Shields, Willie Geist, and Molly Sims stepping in over the past week.
Several possibilities have been speculated, but none have been confirmed by Clarkson herself.
According to some fans one potential reason could be personal time or vacation, as she has young children, River and Remington, and has taken extended leaves before, such as spending a summer in Montana with them in 2022 while the show was on hiatus.
Another possibility is health-related issues, given her recent history of dealing with pneumonia over the winter break in late January 2025 and her ongoing management of thyroid problems.
However, she has not indicated any current health concerns prompting this break.
Additionally, Clarkson is preparing for an 18-show Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, starting July 4, 2025, which might involve pre-production or personal commitments.
