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.

Kelly Clarkson returned to her eponymous daytime talk show on Tuesday following a sudden and unexplained absence for a little over a week. However, the singer-turned-TV personality failed to address what caused her to mysteriously disappear from her hosting duties this month.

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.”
