NBCUniversal renews daytime talker for two more seasons

NBCUniversal Syndication Studios has sold The Kelly Clarkson Show through 2025 for two additional seasons to the NBC Owned Television Stations group. The hourlong daytime program, currently in season four, has its strongest station lineup yet. The show airs in all 211 local markets in premier time periods across the country.

The critically acclaimed Daytime Emmy Award-winning talk show is distributed by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios. The Kelly Clarkson Show is led by Emmy- and Gracie Award-winning executive producer and showrunner Alex Duda. Clarkson is also an executive producer.

“Kelly Clarkson is one of the brightest stars of our time,” says NBCUniversal Executive Vice President of Syndicated Studios, Tracie Wilson. “With more than 500 hours viewed on broadcast, cable and digital platforms since its launch, ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ has been a home for stories that entertain, inspire important conversations and connect with loyal viewers across multiple generations in meaningful ways. Together, with our best-in-class producing team, we’ll continue to build on the show’s success and legacy.”

Since its debut in 2019, The Kelly Clarkson Show has racked up Daytime Emmy Awards and critical accolades as the first daytime hit in over a decade. Clarkson returned for her fourth season as host in September to impressive ratings gains.

Several weeks into the 2022-23 season, the show averages 1.34 million viewers and continues to grow as its total viewers have increased for the second consecutive season. For the first time since 2014, it’s the only syndicated talk show to grow in consecutive seasons.

The Kelly Clarkson Show is also seeing success in key demos locally, including year-over-year double-digit percentage increases among adults 25-54 in markets including Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Miami, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and others.

The Kelly Clarkson Show is hosted by Emmy Award-winning host and Grammy Award-winning artist Kelly Clarkson. The show’s unique formula brings together a diverse, signature panel of musicians, actors, directors and authors with everyday people doing extraordinary things in their communities. The critically acclaimed daytime talk show headed into its fourth season with 13 Daytime Emmy wins and two Gracie Awards for Best Talk Show-Entertainment, which recognizes exemplary programming created by, for and about women. Alex Duda also won a Gracie Award for Outstanding Showrunner.
