Kelly Clarkson’s fans have waited a lifetime for a moment like this.
After weeks of speculation, the originalAmerican Idolhas revealed that she will be returning to the small screen in the fall of 2019 with her very own daytime talk show. “It’s been leaked” she says with a playful eye-roll during her appearance onThe Tonight ShowTuesday night. “But I’m very excited!”
While she’s looking forward to the new gig, there is one thing that gives her pause. “I love talking — it’s my favorite pastime,” she explained to hostJimmy Fallon. “It’s hard for me to shut up, though. You have to listen to people who come on your show, and I just keep talking! The only thing I’ve gotta work on is listening.”

While the lineup will likely have something for everyone, there’s one stipulation: you’ve gotta love music. “We sing every day on the show and do a fan requests,” she continues. “It’s very musical, as well. It would be weird it wasn’t! If you don’t like music you probably shouldn’t watch.”
“My daughter is obsessed currently… withChris Martin,” Clarkson, 36, revealed to Fallon. “She’s in love with him.”

“And when I say obsessed, I mean the boy fromthe video, not Chris Martin now,” Clarkson clarified toFallon. “She doesn’t understand that he’s not the boy in the ‘Yellow’ video, like when he first came out years ago.”
River Rose’s obsession began with a bedtime song. “She said, ‘Sing a song about stars.’ I started singing’Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.‘She was like, ‘Boring,'” Clarkson recalled. “She said, ‘Another song about stars.’ So the only one I could think of was [‘Yellow’]. So I started singing that, and now she’s obsessed with it. She watches the video every night before bed.”
Clarkson sees the writing on the wall, though. “It’s weird and scary foreshadowing,” she joked, adding of her daughter’s crush, “I’m like, ‘You need to slow your roll!’ "
“She’s going to be slightly disappointed if she ever meets him because he’s older than the boy in the video,” joked Clarkson, before adding, “Did I just insult Chris Martin? He’s a very sexy man!”
