Who was nominated as host of The Kelly Clarkson Show at the 2026 Daytime Emmys?

Kelly Clarkson was nominated as host of The Kelly Clarkson Show at the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards.

The syndicated American talk show premiered on September 9, 2019, with Clarkson serving as its presenter. Its format combines celebrity interviews, musical performances, human-interest stories, and audience-focused segments, with Clarkson’s background as a singer shaping the program’s performance elements.

Clarkson has been a recurring Daytime Emmy contender. She won Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host in 2020, 2021, and 2022, when talk-host honors were divided into entertainment and informative categories. In 2023, those categories were merged into Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host, which she won that year.

The nomination is for Clarkson as the host, not merely for the program. The Kelly Clarkson Show itself was also nominated in the corresponding daytime talk-series category, while other 2026 host nominees included figures such as Tamron Hall and Jennifer Hudson.
