It’s Thanksgiving week on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and while the tryptophan might induce drowsiness in some, Kelly Clarkson seems poised to keep things lively with a mix of musical performances, celebrity guests, and segments covering everything from Broadway tunes to bargain hunting.
Clarkson’s Kellyoke performances, always a highlight, continue with a diverse setlist. This week, she tackles “Pink Pony Club,” “Lavender Haze,” and the hopeful strains of “The Sun Will Rise.” It underscores Clarkson’s vocal range, as she effortlessly transitions between genres, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Guest-wise, the week kicks off with Saturday Night Live alum Bowen Yang, actress Auli’i Cravalho, and musician Will Butler. Tuesday welcomes Kaley Cuoco and Xolo Maridueña, continuing the parade of recognizable faces. Wednesday brings the always-engaging Michelle Williams and rising star Sebastian Yatra to the stage.
Interspersed with the star power are segments tailored to Clarkson’s daytime audience. Lawrence Zarian returns with MorningSave for some bargain-hunting tips, offering viewers deals and discounts ahead of the holiday shopping frenzy. The “Poetry Pharmacy” provides an emotional outlet, while other features include a segment on a mobile psychiatric clinic, a timely focus on caregiver appreciation, and a wine demo just in time for festive gatherings.
However, even Clarkson needs a Thanksgiving break, and the back half of the week features encores. Thursday’s repeat spotlights Eva Longoria, Isabella Rossellini, and musician Allen Stone. Friday revisits a Parisian-themed episode with the Emily in Paris trio, Lily Collins, Ashley Park, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, a welcome return for fans craving more French flair.
While repeats might disappoint some viewers hoping for fresh content, they offer a chance to catch missed episodes or simply revisit favorite moments. But let’s be honest, even reruns of The Kelly Clarkson Show offer more entertainment value than most original programming these days.
The Kelly Clarkson Show airs weekdays in syndication on NBC at 3:00 PM.
