The original “American Idol” took an emotional trip down memory lane on the 1,000th episode of her eponymous talk show, which aired on Thursday. Clarkson, 42, fought back tears as she watched a montage of her two children’s cameos on the daytime program shown at the end of the special episode.

"American Idol" alum Kelly Clarkson marked her 1,000th episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and admitted to her fans that she’s "lost, alone, a lot" during her time hosting the program.

During Clarkson's return, she interviewed Adam Scott on Season 2 of his hit show "Severance" and musician Marc Rebillet about his life in the spotlight. Plus, Clarkson performed a cover of Will Swinton's 2024 song "Flames" for her Kellyoke segment.
