For decades, Ellen DeGeneres has captured an audience of billions. From her famous talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, to her work as a voice actor in both Finding Nemo and Finding Dory, Ellen DeGeneres was one of the most beloved American celebrities. She was always known for her amazing sense of humor and sunny personality. However, all of that changed in 2020, when staff members who worked behind the scenes for The Ellen DeGeneres Show came forward and revealed some ugly truths about the host.
When watching a television personality you adore, it’s all too easy to forget that, in nearly every case, the celebrity is only putting on an act to appeal to fans. This is why it was such a rude awakening for many fans when it was revealed that Ellen DeGeneres’s bright and friendly disposition hid a far more sinister personality.
According to her staff members, Ellen DeGeneres is actually cold and cruel to both her staff members and even some of her guests! In a desperate attempt to revive her career, Ellen DeGeneres offered a humble apology on the first episode of her 2020 season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Fans weren’t convinced, however, and saw through her feeble attempt to remain the darling of the public.
While the 18th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show aired on September 21st, 2020, after all of the controversy had already been revealed, the show’s ratings took a huge hit. No matter how hard Ellen tries to recapture her audience’s positive perception of her, it’s all too clear that her fans are slipping away. In 2019, Ellen’s show was renewed for three more years, which means that in 2022, Ellen’s television network is going to have to make a big decision. For a while, The Ellen DeGeneres Show was so popular that renewing its contract was a no-brainer. Now, however, the decision is a bit more difficult.
No television show can last forever, and networks are all too aware that, the moment a show begins to lose its popularity, it’s time to bring in something fresh and new. With the fate of The Ellen DeGeneres Show hanging in the balance, a different talk show is beginning to shine through.
In today’s video, we’re going to talk about which new celebrity might take the place of the once-beloved Ellen DeGeneres. We’re also going to look at some fun facts about the show and its wonderful host. Make sure you stick around, because you won’t want to miss when we reveal who Ellen’s replacement might be!
Ellen DeGeneres Might Be Replaced by The Kelly Clarkson Show
Kelly Clarkson is known for being the first winner of the popular singing television show American Idol. This singing legend has certainly made a name for herself since then, but singing isn’t all she likes to do. More recently, she’s decided to branch out as a talk show host. The Kelly Clarkson Show made its debut on September 19th, 2019, and has only aired a total of two seasons. Still, the show has received glowing reviews, and only seems to be rising in popularity. As a result, it’s entirely possible that Kelly Clarkson’s show will replace The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2022.
Kelly Clarkson Sings at the Beginning of Each Episode
Working as a talk show host requires great interviewing and interpersonal skills, as well as a fun and likeable personality. Traditionally, singing is not a requirement of being a talk show host. Kelly Clarkson, however, has decided to play to her strengths, and brings a fresh new perspective to her show. At the beginning of every episode, the beloved singer does a live cover of a popular song. Her lucky audience members don’t just get to watch an entertaining talk show; they also get to see Clarkson perform as a singer!
Kelly Clarkson Interacts with Her Audience
The audience members of The Kelly Clarkson Show are even luckier, because Clarkson makes it a point to interact with her audience during the show. This gives the show a much warmer and more inviting appeal. While everyone loved to watch Ellen onstage, Kelly Clarkson brings a more authentic touch to her show. In fact, at the beginning of every episode, she even lets one audience member choose which cover she’s going to perform! Kelly Clarkson is certainly making sure that her show brings something new and exciting for audience members around the world to enjoy.
The Show’s Debut Broke Records
The Kelly Clarkson Show entered television with a bang. When the very first episode premiered, it became the most popular debut episode to air since 2012. This just proves how many fans were all too excited to watch Kelly Clarkson try something new. The breaking of this record was also an excellent indication of just how popular the show would become. Who knows? Maybe Kelly Clarkson’s show will even become more iconic than Ellen’s!
Kelly Clarkson’s Show Has Already Replaced One Talk Show Host
Today, people are waiting on the edge of their seats to find out if The Kelly Clarkson Show will replace Ellen DeGeneres.

Clarkson Was Initially Nervous to Start a Talk Show
Despite the success of Kelly Clarkson’s show, she was initially quite nervous to even work as a host. Clarkson of course knows that she’s a talented singer, but when NBC asked her personally to work as a talk show host of her very own show, she was beyond shocked. At first, she was tempted to decline the offer. She even admitted that she thought nobody would even tune into her show! Thankfully, she decided to step outside her comfort zone and give it a try. Thanks to Clarkson’s willingness to try new things, the show has been a huge success, and her many fans sure are glad she decided to say yes to NBC’s offer!
She Made Sure to Do Her Research Beforehand
Before Clarkson fully committed to becoming a talk show host, she wanted to make sure she was well suited to the job. She made sure to do plenty of research, and grilled many famous talk show hosts on how to behave. While Clarkson did have some experience on television while working as a judge for The Voice, working as a talk show host is a whole other experience. As a result, she talked to hosts like Seth Meyers, Blake Shelton, and even Jimmy Fallon about how to be a good talk show host. She seemed to have picked up some good tips, because her show has been a huge success so far!
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Became the Show’s First Celebrity Guest
Being a good interviewer is certainly an important part of being a good talk show host. However, nobody will tune into your show if you don’t have interesting people to interview! Thankfully, Kelly Clarkson had plenty of celebrities who were all too eager to take a spot on her show. The first celebrity guest to grace Clarkson’s show was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Since then, she’s also interviewed celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Jessica Alba, and Steve Carrell!
Clarkson Also Uses the Show to Open Up About Her Life
While Clarkson does a great job interviewing other celebrities, she also uses the show as an opportunity to let fans know a little more about her personal life experiences. The show brings a lot of Kelly Clarkson’s own flair to the table, and the set is even built like a barn as tribute to her own country upbringing!
Ellen DeGeneres Helped Her Own Rival
Believe it or not, Ellen DeGeneres unwittingly helped her own rival. Before Clarkson even started her own show, she was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. And after Clarkson’s show debuted, Ellen even allowed herself to be interviewed on the show! At the time, Ellen probably thought the interview was harmless. After all, she has had much more experience as a talk show host. Now, however, the chances of Kelly Clarkson’s show replacing Ellen are all too great to ignore.
Ellen DeGeneres remained one of the most popular talk show hosts in America for nearly two decades. However, it seems that times are about to change. Do you think it’s time for The Ellen DeGeneres Show to be cancelled in order to make way for a new celebrity, or do you think Ellen should be given a second chance?
