The Kelly Clarkson Show Celebrates 1000th Episode: A Milestone Filled with Emotion and Gratitude
Kelly Clarkson has reached a major milestone in her career as a talk show host, celebrating the 1000th episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show on March 20, 2025. What began as a fresh addition to the daytime television lineup in September 2019 has evolved into a beloved staple for millions of viewers. The anniversary episode was filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt moments that reminded audiences why Clarkson’s show has resonated so deeply over the years.
A Star-Studded Celebration
The special episode featured a lineup of celebrity guests, including acclaimed filmmaker Tyler Perry and Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander. Perry shared inspiring stories about his journey in the entertainment industry, while Vikander reflected on her latest film and the challenges of Hollywood. As always, Clarkson’s signature humor and down-to-earth personality kept the atmosphere lighthearted and engaging.
A Touching Walk Down Memory Lane
One of the most emotional moments of the celebration came when the show surprised Clarkson with a montage of her children, River Rose and Remington "Remy" Alexander. Clips from their past visits to the show dating back to 2019 played on-screen, showing how much they’ve grown. The highlight was a heartwarming clip of a young Remy singing Frank Sinatra’s My Way, a moment that visibly moved Clarkson to tears.
Reflecting on the video, Clarkson shared how much her children have meant to her, particularly through the challenges she has faced, including her highly publicized divorce from Brandon Blackstock. She credited River and Remy as her pillars of strength, making the milestone even more meaningful.
Music That Speaks to the Heart
No Kelly Clarkson celebration would be complete without music. To mark the occasion, she delivered a stunning rendition of Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing, captivating the audience with her powerful vocals and raw emotion. The performance served as a reminder of her deep connection to music and why she remains one of the most celebrated voices in the industry.
Looking Ahead
As Clarkson took a moment to express her gratitude, she reflected on the journey of the past six years. “This show has been a place of healing, laughter, and connection,” she shared. “I never imagined I’d be here 1000 episodes later, but here we are, and I’m beyond grateful.”
With The Kelly Clarkson Show continuing to thrive, fans can look forward to more inspiring stories, memorable musical moments, and, of course, Clarkson’s signature charm in the episodes to come. The 1000th episode was not just a celebration of a talk show—it was a testament to resilience, love, and the power of human connection.
