Kelly Clarkson is taking a break from her hosting duties on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” The popular singer has been absent from the show for a week, and guest hosts have been filling in during her absence in the show’s sixth season. Last week, actor Simu Liu took over hosting duties while Clarkson was away, telling the audience, “Kelly isn’t able to make it today. We’re sending her our very best.” Clarkson has not publicly addressed her absence, but returned for one show before being absent again, as seen on her Instagram page. Various guest hosts, including Willie Geist, Roy Wood Jr., Wanda Sykes, Josh Groban, and Brooke Shields, have stepped in to help host the show in Clarkson’s absence. Clarkson, who won a Daytime Emmy for outstanding entertainment talk show host, has expressed her love for interacting with guests and the audience on her show.
