Kelly Clarkson Ends Talk Show to Prioritize Kids

Kelly Clarkson brought her daytime talk show to an emotional close on Monday, August 31, 2026, after seven seasons, with a finale centered on musical performances and tearful farewells to her children and crew. The final episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" featured the host dedicating the hour to her daughter, River, and son, Remington, who were in the audience, and reflecting on the personal journey that led to her decision to end the series. Clarkson, 44, opened the show by performing "Golden," a song she described as her most requested cover, and dedicated the final edition of her "What I'm Liking" segment to her kids.
