Kelly Clarkson is bringing her
show back to Fox 26 for a fifth
season. And we've got backstage,
Dave here from Backstage Dot,
welcome. You got to speak with
Kelly, and I know she's one of
your favorites. I love Kelly
Clarkson. Can I tell you a quick
story before we talk to. When I
was in Dallas on the radio,
every day I'm there on Saturdays
now, weekly with the backstage
experience. But when I was there
every day, Kelly was going
through American Idol. She used
to call me on the request line
and give me updates. And I've
known her and every time I get
to talk with her on a movie
project, I walk in the room.
She's like, Oh my gosh, I
remember you. I finally said,
Kelly, you don't need to call
the request line anymore. I'll
give you the hotline number.
She's big time now. She's got a
talk show that airs here on Fox
26 at 3 p.m. weekdays. And I had
a chance to catch up with her
ahead of the season five
premiere. Coming up this Monday,
ladies and gentlemen, Kelly
Clarkson. Full disclosure years
ago in North Texas, there was a
person on a singing competition
and she would call a DJ at 106.1
Kiss FM on the request line to
give updates, It's Kelly
Clarkson, Dave Morales. It's
good to see you again. It's me.
Nice to see you, too. Yeah, I
still tell that story and I and
I remember I you ended up
winning Spoiler alert. That was
years ago. But I tell that story
and I said to you years ago, I
said, Kelly, you don't need to
call the request line. I'm going
to give you the hotline number.
Now and you can call me on
Kiss-FM and give me updates on
everything going on in that
world. So over the years I've
projects and now we get to talk
about season five of the Kelly
Clarkson Show. Round of applause
. Congratulations. How excited
are you? I I'm pretty stoked,
man. I'm so happy that this move
happened and I'm happy that it
happened. And I actually love
it. I didn't go, oh, wait, that
was poor decision. So I'm I'm
very I don't know, like on a
personal note, just never been
happier. And business wise, like
coolest thing ever to be able to
move you know season five and
have a fresh start for your show
and you know, in a sort of way.
And then also be at 30 Rock.
That's incredible. So yeah, I'm
pretty much on cloud nine right
now. Dave So I'm doing all right
. Yeah. You know, I should point
out the move from LA to New York
and you're in a famous studio
there at 30 Rock six A For those
that remember The Dave Letterman
Show, he worked in that studio.
I've done the tour at NBC many
times and I've been in that in
that room. And I'm like, my girl
is doing her show. All right.
coming up. Season five. Please
tell me you're doing the good
neighbor. You're doing the
duets, the band, you all has to
be back with. You I want to know
everything. Yeah, all of that is
happening. Definitely. We're
doing songs and stories still as
well because it's just it seems
to be something people really
dig. Like I think that's, you
know, it's like to separate
yourself out in day daytime. I
think the musical element
definitely gives us a little bit
of an edge. And especially with
artists coming, you know, or
actors honestly coming in and
out and singing with us and
songs and stories. So I'm very
excited to announce. Alanis
Morissette is our first one, and
she's like my favorite, so I'm
very excited and we have just a
bunch of people from the
building as well. Like we're
trying to, you know, solidify to
everybody like, Hey, our show is
moved. We're now based in New
York City. Come hang out with
us. There's like a audience of
200 people, which is incredible
. We haven't been able been able
to do that in our studio yet.
And in LA, we were never able to
do that. So and then just being
at 30 Rock, having all these,
you know, personalities that
I've known for over 20 years,
you know, working with and being
interviewed by, and then they're
now like our neighbors and come
on our show. And it's just very
cool. It's a it's a very good
vibe. All right. Stick around.
