Fans are 'worried' about Kelly Clarkson while she is absent from her show

Since Kelly Clarkson’s highly publicized absence from her program, numerous famous Hollywood individuals have stepped in as guest hosts. One interim presenter received mixed feedback from internet viewers.

Kelly Clarkson, a musical talent and popular talk show presenter, has been significantly absent from “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Her disappearance has aroused anxiety among her followers, who are curious about what has been going on and praying that the diva is okay.

Simu Liu, a Hollywood celebrity, took over “The Kelly Clarkson Show” as a guest host early last week, bringing his characteristic charisma and enthusiasm to the stage. Liu, dressed casually but elegantly in a brown leather jacket over a light-colored shirt, beige jeans, and white sneakers, was at ease as he took on the unexpected role.

Despite his confident manner, the “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” actor said that hosting was not part of his initial plans for the day.

As he greeted the crowd, Liu jokingly addressed the elephant in the room: “I do have a confession to make—I am not Kelly Clarkson.” As he continued, the audience erupted in laughter, recognizing Clarkson’s absence and wishing her well.

He then disclosed that he only found out about his hosting responsibilities minutes before taking the stage, having initially arrived at the studio to promote his new thriller, “Last Breath.”

The show’s official YouTube channel touted Liu’s guest hosting responsibilities, previewing an exciting episode including his “Last Breath” co-stars Woody Harrelson and Finn Cole, who subsequently joined Liu.

During Liu’s introduction, the actor mentioned that, while the circumstances of his guest hosting duties were unexpected, he had previously hosted Clarkson’s show.

“And look, I don’t back down from a challenge, okay? And I did host the show three years ago. It was an excellent experience. There is a fantastic studio audience here today. So, let’s do this!” Liu said.

Clarkson made a quick comeback to her talk program following Liu’s unexpected guest appearance. Her comeback appearance occurred in an episode that aired on March 6, 2025.

The Grammy-winning singer returned to emcee the show, which included a star-studded roster including Jason Derulo, Nora Fatehi, and Jason Isaacs. The program also included a musical performance by singer-songwriter Allie X.

However, her reappearance was short-lived. Clarkson was missing again for the following show, which aired on March 7. This time, comedian and “The Daily Show” reporter Roy Wood Jr. took over as guest host.

In the program, he interviewed “Good Morning America” co-anchor Michael Strahan, actress Denise Richards and her daughter Lola Sheen, Jack Wallace, and author Brad Meltzer.

As Clarkson’s absence went on without an official reason, the rotating door of famous guest presenters continued to revolve.

On the March 8 edition, comedic veteran Wanda Sykes took over hosting responsibilities, bringing her trademark wit and charm to the show. She sat with two of Hollywood’s top stars: comedian Kevin Hart and singer-actor Josh Groban.

A few days later, on March 11, actress and model Brooke Shields took over as the next guest host. Shields hosted a packed program that included music great Smokey Robinson, “Bridgerton” star Simone Ashley, and “After” franchise lead Hero Fiennes Tiffin.

She also spoke with renowned dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee—commonly known as “Dr. Pimple Popper”—and WWE star Liv Morgan, providing fans with a combination of entertainment, beauty advice, and sporting enthusiasm.

By midweek, the guest-hosting run had shown no signs of easing. On Wednesday, Willie Geist, a prominent journalist, took over “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” bringing his usual polished presence to the stage.

The show had an impressive array of visitors, including “Black Bag” actors Michael Fassbender and Regé-Jean Page.

Geist welcomed a group of recent reality TV champions—the victors of “The Traitors”—Gabby Windey, Dylan Efron, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, and Dolores Catania, adding even more star power to the show.

The evening also included unexpected appearances from musician and well-known media figure Marc Broussard, who charmed the crowd with his pet golden retrievers.

Despite the changing lineup of celebrity hosts keeping the atmosphere up, Clarkson’s ongoing absence remained a major subject online, with fans questioning her whereabouts and voicing their anxiety.

A supporter on X expressed a low-key fear about Kelly Clarkson. “I hope everything is fine,” said a supporter on X, who followed their post with a humorous gif of the absent presenter. Another expressed a similar sentiment: “What’s going on with Kelly Clarkson??”

Others suggested alternative reasons, thinking Clarkson was dealing with a private subject. “I’m sure this is a particular family emergency. We all have them. She’ll be back when she is ready! “Hugs and blessings, Kelly [sic],” one reader recommended.

Someone more hoped it was simply a much-needed pause, stating, “Hopefully she is ok; maybe she just needs a break and some downtime [sic].”

Several admirers assumed that Kelly Clarkson had gone away to take a well-deserved vacation from her hectic schedule. Some speculated that she had taken time off to be with her family, and one Facebook user prayed for her and her family.

Despite the various ideas, one thing is certain: Clarkson’s absence has not gone ignored, and her devoted fans are impatiently anticipating her return. “I love watching her program! I sincerely miss her and hope she’s okay!” one loyal admirer said, expressing the collective thoughts of many.

While fans continue to worry about Clarkson’s continuous absence, the show continued with yet another guest host taking over to keep things moving. Today, March 13, actress and model Molly Sims takes over hosting responsibilities, bringing new vitality to the stage.

Sims directed an emotional and inspiring episode that featured prominent actors Patrick Schwarzenegger and Bryan Greenberg.

The broadcast also features a touching segment in which she spotlights the work of Friends of Karen, a non-profit organization committed to assisting children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. A family assisted by the charity joins Sims on the show.

Despite fans’ anticipation for her return, Clarkson is still absent from her talk show, with the most recent episode schedule stating that guest hosts would continue to fill in for the remainder of the week.

Sims will return on Friday, March 15, to host another episode with actress Amanda Seyfried, singer-songwriter Nicholas Pinnock, and musical trio Sir Woman.

While Clarkson’s extended absence has aroused much conjecture, the latest reports indicate little need for concern. According to TMZ, insiders close to the singer swear she is well and has been dealing with a personal issue unrelated to her health.

Although no other information was provided, the publication adds that Clarkson is anticipated to return to the show shortly.

Meanwhile, ET reported a somewhat different story, citing a source who claimed Clarkson left due to an unexpected family issue. The report stated that her absence lasted at least nine tapings, and visitors were not notified in advance.

Upon arrival, visiting celebs reportedly received the opportunity to serve as guest hosts. Despite the uncertainty, ET reported that Clarkson was set to continue recording today (March 13) and will appear on the 1,000th edition of “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

For the time being, Clarkson’s absence remains a mystery, but with her name still absent from the most recent episode lineup, fans are hoping for formal confirmation that she will be returning to host soon.

We hope she is doing well, and she will soon return to her show.
