Since Kelly’s been gone, fans have reportedly called on NBC to release a statement amid the guest hosts’ episodes. But, according to TMZ, there’s “no cause for alarm” due to the “Breakaway” singer’s absence. Sources say that “Kelly herself is completely fine. She’s been dealing with a personal matter that does not directly involve her.”

Kelly Clarkson's absence from her eponymous daytime talk show continued on Wednesday as Willie Geist stepped in to host the program. "I am very much not Kelly Clarkson, and I'm sorry for that," he began.
