New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The
Kelly Clarkson Show is officially making its New York City debut! Variety reports that Clarkson's hit daytime talk show will begin filming in Studio 6A in 30 Rock, which has previously been home to
David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, the TODAY Show, and more.
The new season will premiere on October 16, after filming its first episodes during the week of October 10. The show will also debut a brand-new, state-of-the-art studio, which will include a "relaxed and intimate vibe" for her 200-person live audience and a prominent platform for her in-house band.
The show's move from LA to NYC will also give Broadway shows the opportunity to perform on the talk show. With the SAG-AFTRA strike still potentially occurring during the show's premiere, there would be plenty of possibilities for Broadway to take the stage.
Clarkson has also revealed that Broadway is one of the "main reasons" why she is moving to New York. Earlier this year, she announced that she has been working on a musical but has not given any details on what the show could be.
No stranger to musicals, Clarkson has performed a few showtunes on her talk show, including "She Used to Be Mine" from Waitress and "Losing My Mind" from Follies. Her hit single "
Since U Been Gone" can currently be heard on Broadway in & Juliet.
