The The Voice, helping other singers to launch their careers.
The three time Grammy Award winner has hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show since 2019. The show is a critically acclaimed fan favorite that is both entertaining and informative. Since The Kelly Clarkson Show began, Kelly has won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host for every season. Her series also won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show in 2021 and 2022. In addition, the show took home five Daytime Emmy Awards at the 2022 Creative Arts Awards ceremony. Kelly truly deserves her Daytime Emmy Awards for hosting. Her show is an exciting and energetic mix of segments, which features celebrities and everyday people.
Kelly begins every one of her shows with a song, known as "Kellyoke." The song is either one of her own or a cover, with her band Y'all providing the music. She recently released a six song Kellyoke EP. Although this part of the show highlights Kelly's magical singing talent, it also spotlights an audience member, because each song is actually a request from a fan. Kelly then interviews the fan about why he or she chose the song. This gives that person the opportunity to lead the show into the commercials. The stories that people share when they explain their song choices often shine a light on their personal issues, which helps others to realize that they are not alone. Kelly does a fantastic job as the host because she allows people to express themselves. They feel safe sharing their stories.
Kelly is also deserving of her awards because she is an open and honest host who respects her celebrity guests. She makes sure that she does her research, so she can conduct interviews that go beyond the surface. She avoids asking repetitive questions that have already been answered through other platforms. Kelly also engages with celebrities by challenging them to games on the show, which reveals a different side of them. Whether she is jumping in to participate in a funny cooking segment or having a heart to heart talk, Kelly brings out the best in her famous and non celebrity guests. She is also very good at putting people at ease and relating to others. She is currently going through a very difficult divorce, but, instead of hiding her experience, she shares her pain. She lets people know that she cares about whatever they are feeling.
Kelly is a generous host as well. She ends The Kelly Clarkson show with a segment called, "What I'm Liking." During this part of the show, Kelly chooses a post from social media and "likes" it on the air, which brings awareness to the post. The Kelly Clarkson Show partners with the Pilot pen company to give $1,000 to the people who are featured in the segments. Kelly takes a genuine interest in the lives of people and their stories, and her charming personality exudes warmth.
Kelly is the perfect talk show host. She is entertaining without being overpowering. She shares her own triumphs and challenges without dominating the show, and allows her guests to communicate their thoughts and feelings. Since her time on American Idol, she has been known as a source of light to everyone that she encounters. Kelly deserves all three of her Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host, and is sure to have even more success with The Kelly Clarkson Show in the future.
