No more workplace rules for Kelly Clarkson!
While kicking off her brand-new Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace, the pop icon couldn’t help but joke about the end of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” later this year.
Interacting with the crowd on the opening night, Clarkson poked fun at her upcoming departure from the NBC daytime gig, playfully hinting that she is more than ready to leave the corporate TV structure behind.
"I would get fired [by] NBC, but I don't work there anymore," Clarkson joked, according to fan-shot footage. "We are sad about it. It was a fun show."
The Grammy-winner went on to poke fun at mandatory human resources (HR) meetings, saying life on tour was very different from a corporate work environment. "It's funny, you go to those HR meetings and you're like, 'Nobody on the road would last,'" Clarkson said.
Recalling her early years in the music industry, she added, "It's just a different world. I was 19 on a bus with dudes. 'What? I can't do what?' 'Yeah, that's completely inappropriate.'"

Clarkson also joked about conversations surrounding body image and weight loss. "I just think that's so dumb. It makes people feel good when you say, 'Oh, you look really good.' And then people are like, 'No, 'cause that means that you meant they did look really bad,'" she said, while also jokingly singing, "No more HR meetings!" before adding with a laugh, "I'm just kidding."
The singer said she was known for asking too many questions during HR sessions. "Everyone actually hated doing HR meetings with me because I am a nerd," Clarkson said, adding: "I would literally be like, 'I'm sorry, so your example is ...?' I would stop the class and everyone would be like, 'Can I do the meeting without Kelly?'"
"I would just get into it because I feel like you need to get into it. You gotta protect everyone. Anyway, I don't have to do it anymore," she added.
Earlier this year, Clarkson announced that “The Kelly Clarkson Show” will conclude after seven seasons. Speaking in February, she described the decision as "not an easy" one and said she wanted to prioritise time with her children, River and Remington.
Despite ending her talk show, Clarkson is set to return as a coach for Season 30 of “The Voice” later this year.
