NBCUniversal and Kelly Clarkson‘s #1 new daytime talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show has be renewed for Season 2 and will return for 2020-2021.

The Kelly Clarkson Show airs across the country on more than 200 stations and the show’s social media platforms have gained more than 1.5 million subscribers since the September launch.
“The Kelly Clarkson Show is connecting with viewers in a unique way and we are so happy to build on that momentum, bringing Kelly’s brand of humor, heart, and, of course, the incredible ‘Kellyoke,’ to stations for a second season,” said Tracie Wilson, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs, NBCUniversal Television Distribution. “It is a privilege to be in business with Kelly and our production team, led by Alex Duda, who have a clear creative vision and a talent for storytelling and creating quality entertainment that invites you in for a good time and leaves you feeling happy.”

Among some of the numbers performed so far this year were Lizzo’s “Juice,” Aretha Franklin’s “Think,” Taylor Swift’s “Delicate,” and Heart’s “Alone.”
In the second segment of her episodes, Clarkson interviews celebrity guests, and in the first season those have included: Chance the Rapper, John Cena, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Garner, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, John Legend, Jason Momoa, and many more.
