As it features Kelly Clarkson as host and the recurring “Kelly-Oke” covers segment, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” always has a musical component.
The second season premiere week, however, will double down on that element. Billed as “Music Week,” it will feature a handful of noteworthy performers.
John Legend will kick things off as an interview and musical guest on September 21. Ava Max will do the same on September 22, and Common will fill both roles on September 23. According to tentative listings, Machine Gun Kelly will meanwhile appear as an interview guest on September 24 and a musical guest on September 25.
Each episode will, of course, also feature a Kelly Clarkson cover performance.
Complete listings follow. As a reminder, they are subject to change:
