Kelly Clarkson to Take Over Ellen DeGeneres' Daytime Slot

[left-of-center2012]

NBC has locked in plans to fill the void created by the upcoming conclusion of Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime show.

The Kelly Clarkson Show has been slotted to take over the daytime slot currently occupied by Ellen when the latter show comes to an end next year. Clarkson’s show — which is owned and produced by NBC’s syndication arm — will take over the slot in fall 2022 on NBC-owned stations.

NBC has carried Ellen in major markets across the nation. Clarkson’s show currently airs across the country on 200 stations and will be billed as daytime’s headliner in leading time slots next year after DeGeneres wraps her longtime run.

As THR reported following DeGeneres’ announcement that she’ll end her daytime show, some stations that currently air Ellen will consider turning to lower-cost news programs rather than a talk show replacement. That’s a risky move considering if it doesn’t work out, it takes time to find a host, format, producers, etc., to launch a syndicated talk show.

(Personally, I don't like or watch either Ellen DeGeneres or Kelly Clarkson)

1. Sorry... I find Clarkson pleasant enough, but ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I'm not normally home when Ellen airs anyway so whatever...

2. I don't watch but my recommendation is to not make kelly into this

Overly nice person. Just normal everyday type. The media did that to Rosie and Ellen and it didn’t turn out well. Stop pressuring people to have this perfect image. Nobody is perfect and that’s ok.

3. Rarely watched Ellen

I have watched Kelly and she’s okay. She doesn’t pretend her life is perfect.
