NBC may have found their next daytime talk-show hosts. Kelly Clarkson’s program is coming to an end later this year. The network is looking for someone to fill that seat. As it turns out, there might be two people ready to take over.
The pair tapped to fill her seat are not well-known in the entertainment world. That said they are beloved sports figures who are quick on their feet with expert analysis. The Kelly Clarkson Show is currently airing its seventh and final season.
Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir could replace Kelly Clarkson on NBC

The 2026 Winter Olympics might have been the trial run for what’s to come for a pair of figure skaters. Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir are for many must-see TV at the games with their humor, quick wits and passion shining through. An insider tells RadarOnline that the duo are “Quick on their feet, visually dynamic, and audiences genuinely like them. That’s gold.”
While figure skaters and commentators have planned out programs and notes, sometimes unforeseen things happen, and you must change things up. They have also been on reality shows filled with twists and turns, competing on the fourth season of The Traitors. In January, Johnny revealed his most shocking moment on the show to an audience on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
There is mounting pressure on NBC to fill Kelly’s seat, and many believe that Johnny and Tara tick all their boxes. Sources say the two understand what it means to put on a show and the pressure that goes along with it. Nothing is official yet, but the two are reportedly getting serious consideration.
