Hey folks daytime TV lovers listen up ! Things are a little bit strange over at "The Kelly Clarkson Show" lately. Our girl Kelly who is usually a constant presence on our screens has been MIA for a couple of weeks and fans are starting to seriously wonder what is going on. Let's get into what we know and why everyone is a bit concerned.
Guest Host Galore: A Rotating Door of Celebs Fill In for Kelly But Where is Kelly Herself?
For the past couple of weeks if you tuned into "The Kelly Clarkson Show" hoping to see Kelly you might have been a little surprised. Instead of Kelly we have seen a bunch of guest hosts taking over. We are talking some big names too! Kevin Hart Wanda Sykes Roy Wood Jr. and even Simu Liu from Marvel movies have all stepped in to keep the show going.
And it's not stopping there. This week the schedule is showing even more guest hosts. Brooke Shields Willie Geist and Molly Sims are all lined up to take the reins. That is a lot of fill-in hosts right? It's definitely unusual and it has got people asking the big question: "Where is Kelly?"
"Worried Sick" and "Panicked": Fans Take to Social Media Expressing Concern for Kelly Clarkson
Fans are not just curious they are actually worried. If you look at social media especially on the show's official Instagram pages you will see tons of comments from viewers asking about Kelly. People are saying they are "worried sick" and "panicked" about her absence. They miss seeing her every day and the lack of explanation is making them wonder if something is wrong.
When Simu Liu hosted he even mentioned that he was a last-minute replacement. He joked that he found out he was hosting "five minutes ago" when he showed up to promote his own movie. That kind of adds to the mystery right? It makes it sound like Kelly's absence was unexpected even for the show itself.
No Word From Kelly or Her Team: Mystery Surrounds Her Break From the Talk Show
Adding to the concern is the fact that there has been pretty much zero official word about why Kelly is not on the show. The show's team hasn't given any explanation to fans and Kelly herself hasn't said anything on her social media either. Her last post was a little while ago on February 17 promoting some concerts. Silence can make fans worry even more right?
One source did tell Entertainment Weekly that Kelly is "not sick" but that is about all the info we have. No details on why she is taking this break or when she might be back. Usually when a host is going to be away for a bit there is some kind of announcement but not this time. It's definitely unusual and understandably it has fans on edge wondering what is up with Kelly.
Well-Deserved Break or Something More? Speculating on Kelly's Time Off
Of course it is totally possible that Kelly is just taking some well-deserved time off. She has been working super hard for six seasons of her daytime talk show . Plus she is a busy mom to her two kids River and Remington. Maybe she just needed a break to recharge spend time with family or just have some personal time away from the spotlight. Everyone deserves a vacation right?
Some fans online are even defending Kelly saying she doesn't owe anyone an explanation for taking time off. They are wishing her well and hoping she is just enjoying a break. And it's true Kelly is known for being a hard worker and always putting on a great show. Maybe this is simply a chance for her to step back for a bit and come back even stronger.
