The Kelly Clarkson Show premiered on Mon (Sept 9) with a mixture of real people and celebrities as guests. The American Idol OG winner and The Voice coach couldn’t have been more excited to premiere her new afternoon talk show.
Dwayne Johnson interrupted his honeymoon to step in for Kevin Hart, who is recovering from a serious car accident. Kelly also surprised a woman who runs a food bank in Oregon. A bunch of her neighbors dropped by to present her with a literal basketful of cash to keep her 40 year old charity going. Also, after the “9 to 5” show opener which featured all types of working women. Kelly interviewed a couple of female first responders, and as it happened, her audience was full of working women, from CEO’s to firefighters.
But, most hilariously, introducing Kelly on her special day? None other than Steve Carell. His movie, The 40 Year Old Virgin featured a scene where he screams out KELLY CLARKSON while enduring a painful (and embarrassing!) body wax. PERFECT.
