Is Pink Taking Over Kelly Clarkson’s Talk Show? The Truth

Pink is raising her glass to a new daytime venture—temporarily.

I’m so excited! Pink is going to be guest hosting Kelly Clarkson’s talk show this week, but it’s just for a little while. She’s filling in as host for the first week of March 2026, and it’s a perfect way to start Women’s History Month. Her real name is Alecia Beth Moore-Hart, by the way, and I can’t wait to see her on the show!

Pink recently addressed online rumors in a now-deleted Instagram video, stating that she is not replacing Kelly Clarkson as host of The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Talk of Pink possibly taking over Kelly’s talk show started after Kelly announced she would be ending her show after seven seasons.

In a video taken by the pool, Pink explained she’s doing something enjoyable for her friend Kelly. She added that if she wanted her own talk show, she wouldn’t need to audition – it would simply be offered to her, and it would be fantastic. She clarified she isn’t currently pursuing that option, as she’s already very busy.

She originally announced her turn as guest host last month.

The 46-year-old recently announced how excited she is to guest host for Kelly Clarkson, calling it a first for her career, even after performing in stadiums and doing adventurous things like dancing on buildings. She expressed a desire to use the show to celebrate women, happiness, and overcoming challenges, and to embrace whatever the future holds.

Singer Pink, who has two children – Willow, 14, and Jameson, 9 – with her husband, Carey Hart, was previously a guest on Kelly Clarkson’s show in 2023. She appeared on the very first episode of Kelly’s ‘Songs & Stories’ series, which later became a four-part primetime special on NBC last year.

Kelly is mom to River Rose, 11, and Remy, 9, with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who sadly passed away in August after fighting cancer. She has spoken about how difficult it was to leave her Emmy-winning show, explaining it was a very tough decision.

She explained that her family life had shifted recently, and she’s been reflecting on how valuable life is. She shared this during an appearance on Today in February.

Although Kelly Clarkson is stepping down from her daily talk show, she assured fans she’ll continue to pursue her music career, perform concerts, and occasionally appear as a coach on The Voice.

People seem to think I’ve given up, but that’s not true. I’m just really busy with other work and commitments. I have too much going on right now, so I decided it was time to take a step back and focus on other things.

She asked commenters to refrain from negativity and judgment.

Before her concert in Hamburg, Germany, the singer of “So What” spent some quality time with her son at the Hamburg Zoo.

As someone who’s always on the go, I believe you can celebrate what matters most, no matter where you are in the world! I was thinking about American Independence Day while traveling in Germany, and it struck me – true freedom isn’t about location, it’s a feeling. I shared that thought on Instagram, hoping we can all embrace independence and spread a little love, wherever life takes us. It’s a universal wish, really! #freedomandlove #wishesforall #universal #love #germany

Pink responded to criticism after sharing a beach photo of her son without a diaper, expressing her frustration with the negative comments. She was shocked that people focused on his body and questioned her parenting, explaining that, like many moms, she hadn’t noticed he’d removed his swim diaper. Pink deleted the photo because of the offensive comments, and decided to limit comments on her social media, upset by the negativity and what she saw as inappropriate behavior from online commenters. She sarcastically added a comment about a pelican to highlight the absurdity of the criticism.
