Kelly Clarkson’s Mysterious Absence: Guest Hosts Step In as Questions Mount
As your trusted lifestyle guide, I’m thrilled to share that in Kelly Clarkson’s temporary absence, it’s me stepping into her shoes on her talk show. The enigma surrounding our beloved American Idol winner’s absence remains a mystery, but rest assured, the show must go on!
On Thursdays, Sims stepped into the role of a temporary host for The Kelly Clarkson Show, and he’ll take over again on the 14th of March.
The show hinted at Molly’s upcoming appearance by sharing pictures of her with famous personalities like Patrick Schwarzenegger (aged 31) and actor Bryan Greenberg (aged 46) on their Instagram account.
A video uploaded onto the program’s Instagram account featured Sims, aged 51, personally greeting the viewers.
Or alternatively,
On the program’s Instagram, a video was shared displaying Sims, who is 51 years old, welcoming the audience.
Hello there! I’m Molly Sims, your fearless navigator for the upcoming two days on the Kelly Clarkson Show. Some of you might recognize me from House of Style, Las Vegas, or my triumphant run on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire where I managed to win a significant amount for ovarian cancer.” This way, the text maintains its original meaning while being more natural and easy to read.
Sims showcased her skincare brand YSE Beauty, debuted her latest podcast titled “Lipstick on the Rim”, and announced the Netflix movie she produced, “Kinda Pregnant”.

She too acknowledged the brave first responders who rose to the challenge during the destructive Los Angeles fires in January.
Over the past couple of months, we’ve faced some challenging times. Much like others in the Los Angeles community, we were forced to leave our homes due to the devastating fires that swept through our neighborhood. I’ve expressed my gratitude to the first responders both online and offline, but I feel it’s important to use this opportunity to say thank you once more. Thank you, on behalf of everyone in our community. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
For this week, Sims will be the last stand-in host, following Brooke Shields and Willie Geist who filled in as hosts previously, with the role originally intended for the A Moment Like This vocalist.
On March 14th, the style legend is set to make a comeback for a chat with guests Amanda Seyfried and Nicholas Pinnock.
42-year-old Clarkson has been conspicuously absent from The Kelly Clarkson Show for the past few days, yet neither she nor the program have provided an explanation about her absence to the audience.
However, it was around the end of last month that her absence became noticeable, starting with Roy Wood Jr.’s debut as a guest host. She briefly returned afterward.
As a devoted follower, I find myself privy to the information that sources close to the situation have shared with TMZ on this past Wednesday. It seems that Kelly has taken a brief hiatus from her show due to a personal issue she is presently addressing.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t hide my excitement when I heard the news that Clarkson is coming back to the show! The publication mentioned it would be airing on Thursday, March 13, but interestingly enough, all we’ve seen so far in the teaser is Sims hosting. I can hardly wait to see what more they have in store for us!
Kelly is set to arrive the following week, however, some famous personalities are expected to step in as temporary hosts for two upcoming shows, as per Page Six’s report.

According to Page Six’s report based on the show’s weekly lineup, Kal Penn will be the host for Monday’s episode, Andy Cohen will step in as host for Wednesday’s show, and Clarkson is scheduled to host Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday’s shows.
To this point, it remains unclear what matter Kelly was dealing with, but given the amount of worry expressed by her followers on social media, it’s possible that she might share more information about it once she returns.
On March 3, Simu Liu unexpectedly took over as a guest host, revealing that he had just been informed of the job five minutes prior to going live.



Even though Kelly was unable to work on that specific day and needed Simu as a substitute, she still made it back for her performances on the next two days.
On the day in question, it wasn’t planned for the Marvel actor to have a permanent role; however, he graciously stepped up as a substitute when the program required an immediate stand-in.
He shared with the audience in the studio that Kelly wouldn’t be able to join us today. We’re sending her our warmest well-wishes, and here’s an interesting fact –– I only found out I was doing this just a few minutes ago when I arrived here to talk about my upcoming film, Last Breath.
In terms of my role as a lifestyle expert, I must share that ever since February 27, I’ve noticed a conspicuous absence on my show – it’s Kelly. Apart from her brief reappearance last week, she’s been missing, and I must say, her vibrant presence is truly missed.
In spite of her being absent from public view, there had been speculations among fans about potential health concerns regarding the American Idol star. However, reliable sources confirmed that she was in good health.
On February 28th and March 6th, I couldn’t help but catch the segments filled by none other than Roy Wood Jr., stepping in for my beloved Kelly on The Daily Show!
