Kelly Clarkson’s Talk Show Wins Big at 2026 Daytime Emmys, but She Misses Host Award

Clarkson, however, did not take home the award for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host. That honor went to Sherri Shepherd for her work on Sherri.

Clarkson has been a familiar presence at the Daytime Emmys since launching her talk show in 2019. Over the years, she has earned multiple awards for her hosting work and the program itself.

The 2026 ceremony also recognized other television personalities and programs, including Keke Palmer, Tracee Ellis Ross, and the long-running daytime drama General Hospital.

Despite losing the individual hosting category, Clarkson’s show remained among the evening’s recognized daytime television programs.
