Andy Cohen is filling in for Kelly Clarkson on her talk show today, and he does something she does to start every episode when she shows up to work. Well, sort of.
The Watch What Happens Live host lipsynched to a taped version of the American Idol’s Since U Been Gone.
He probably should have picked a different song because it sounds like he is sending her a message about being absent from her daytime talk show for most of March.
When it comes to his performance, he should stick to dancing to Dead & Company. We all can’t be good at everything. And performing is not one of his.
For the last two weeks, Kelly Clarkson has been missing from her daytime talk show without any explanation, and the show’s fans want to know where in the world is Kelly Clarkson?
The show has declined to say, but there are reports that she is dealing with a personal matter and that she is fine. There are also reports that she was back filming on Thursday.
So, is she back this week? The answer is yes and no.
When the show released this week’s lineups, they announced that Kal Penn would be sitting in her chair on Monday and Andy Cohen would be sitting there on Wednesday.
Then what about tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday? According to photos from the NBC Press Site, she will be back on March 18th. The episode on the 20th is the show’s 1,000th, so she will be there. Because how can you celebrate that milestone without her? And since they tape two episodes a day, she will also be there on Friday.
Now, when the episodes taped, we do not know. And they normally tape a week in advance, so that does not really tell us anything. Therefore, we should know if she is back next week. Maybe?
Will she address her absence? As of today, she has not. Even though she did announce on social media that she is releasing a duet with Rascal Flatts on Friday.
While she does not need to tell us why exactly she has been absent from her show, she should at least address it on social media by saying something like, “I need to take some time off and will be back as soon as I can. Everything is OK, and I can’t wait to be back to doing what I love as soon as I can.”
The fans get attached to their talk show hosts and get concerned when they are not there. It is the price of doing a talk show.
Kelly Clarkson has a daytime talk show named after her. However, other people have been hosting it most of the month. So, People is wondering where the OG American Idol is?
This all started on March 3rd, when guest Simu Liu was a last minute replacement, and I do mean last minute. He found out about his new job for the day five minutes before the start of the program.
The next day, she was back for two days. Since March 6th, other people have taken over the duties. Roy Wood, Jr. started it off. Then, Josh Groban co-hosted with Wanda Sykes. Brooke Shields has been hosting the last two days. Today, Willie Geist is sitting in her chair. Tomorrow and Friday, Molly Sims has the job.
So, where is Clarkson? No one but she and her staff knows.
Hopefully, all is OK with her and her family.
And hopefully, this is not another Wendy Williams thing because she also disappeared with no explanation.
If you watched Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper cover New Year’s Eve at Times Square, then you saw Anderson Cooper get shitfaced because he did a Tequila shot at the top of every hour.
But how drunk was the CNN host? Cohen told Kelly Clarkson on her show that they crashed Patti LuPone’s NYE party, and the reserved denim heir was the life of the party.
I wish that the Watch What Happens Live host shared that video with all of us, just like when Anderson aired a video of Cohen dancing at a Dead & Company concert at the Sphere during their December 21st special.
Can you imagine all of the giggling Cooper did? And how hungover he was on New Year’s Day.
Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken were reunited on her daytime talk show yesterday, and they got to catch up. However, the first American Idol forgot something about her old friend, a very important thing.
What is it? While sharing with the audience that they spent a lot of time together, she said to her friend, “We toured after you won [American Idol].”
There is only one problem: he didn’t win. Ruben Studdard did. Whoops!
Luckily, they share such a special bond in which he didn’t get upset about her mistake, and she didn’t get mad when he corrected her on air.
That is what happens when you have been friends with someone for 21 years. The little things don’t bother you!
However, on a side note, I had a friend who I didn’t talk to for a year because I thought that Clay should have won and she was like Ruben deserved it.
