It was a fun show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>Kelly said some of the things she saw while out on the road would not have gone down well in other workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe three-time Grammy winner shared: &#8220;It&#8217;s funny, you go to those HR meetings, and you\u2019re like, &#8216;Nobody on the road would last.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s just a different world. I was 19 on a bus with dudes. &#8216;What? I can\u2019t do what?&#8217; &#8216;Yeah, that\u2019s completely inappropriate.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn HR meetings, Kelly joked that &#8220;they say dumb s***, like, you can\u2019t comment if someone\u2019s lost weight&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe first winner of American Idol added: &#8220;And I\u2019m like, b****! You better write a memo. You better write a memo about it, a song about it. I just think that\u2019s so dumb. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It makes people feel good when you say, &#8216;Oh, you look really good.&#8217; And then people are like, &#8216;No, because that means you thought they did look really bad.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nKelly then shared her joy in having &#8220;no more HR meetings&#8221;, before she added, laughing: &#8220;I&#8217;m just kidding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Breakaway artist admitted her Kelly Clarkson Show colleagues did not like her being in HR meetings because she would ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>\nKelly explained: &#8220;Everyone actually hated doing HR meetings with me because I am a nerd. I would literally be like, &#8216;I\u2019m sorry, so your example is &#8230;?&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I would stop the class, and everyone would be like, &#8216;Can I do the meeting without Kelly?&#8217; &#8216;Cause they&#8217;d have separate meetings, and everybody would opt out of any meeting I would be in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Voice coach frequently pushed back to &#8220;protect everyone&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I would just get into it because I feel like you need to get into it. You gotta protect everyone. Anyway, I don&#8217;t have to do it anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nKelly&#8217;s approach left the teachers &#8220;sweating&#8221; because she is &#8220;a curious cat&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn February, the Stronger (What Doesn&#8217;t Kill You) performer announced The Kelly Clarkson Show will be coming to an end in the Fall after seven seasons so that she could &#8220;prioritise&#8221; her daughter River, 12, and son Remy, 10, after their dad and her ex-husband-and-former talent manager Brandon Blackstock lost his battle with melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, in August 2025 at the age of 48.<\/p>\n<p>\nKelly penned on Instagram: &#8220;I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at [The Kelly Clarkson Show], both in Los Angeles and New York.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nShe continued: &#8220;There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I am forever grateful and honoured to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting [The Kelly Clarkson Show]. Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritise my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite her talk show ending, Kelly intends to continue making music and has teased more appearances on The Voice.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe star wrote: &#8220;This isn\u2019t goodbye. I\u2019ll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time\u2026 you never know where I might show up next. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But for now, I want to thank y\u2019all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/kelly-clarkson-jokes-happy-done-meetings-talk-show-ends-1447724.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 July 2026 Kelly Clarkson joked she is relieved to have &#8220;no more HR meetings&#8221; after finishing her eponymous talk show.
