JokersUpdates.com: Talk Shows - The Kelly Clarkson Show To End This Fall After 7 Seasons: 'This Was Not An Easy Decision,' Host Says

"Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives," Clarkson says in a statement (which you can read in full below).

The show will remain in production through the rest of Season 7, keeping it on the air through Fall 2026. While Clarkson is expected to stay on as host, the show confirms that "a few special guest hosts will be announced." At this time, it's unclear when those guests will fill in.

"I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' both in Los Angeles and New York," Clarkson said. "There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner."

She continues: "Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.' Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives. This isn't goodbye. I'll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on 'The Voice' from time to time ... you never know where I might show up next. But for now, I want to thank y'all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years."
