6 Guests Who Turned One Appearance Into Their Own Talk Show

The episode features Kelly Clarkson discussing her recent experiences, including a "very LA birthday" that involved losing on The Voice, over-partying, and a surprise escape game that she found challenging while inebriated. She expresses her genuine love for being on The Voice, acknowledging her high energy and dancing, and confidently believes her two remaining contestants could win. Kelly also shares her initial awkwardness about being featured in People magazine's "Beautiful Issue" but ultimately embraced it when her children could be included in a "beautiful families" theme. She details the distinct personalities and sibling dynamics of her children, River and Remy.

The segment then transitions into a mock talk show, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," with Kelly as the host, interviewing "Ellen DeGeneres." During this mock interview, Ellen reflects on her path to becoming a talk show host, having loved them since childhood. Kelly outlines her vision for her own talk show: candid "girlfriends over cocktails" conversations covering a range of topics from sex, marriage, and breastfeeding to body issues and potentially controversial subjects like "Fifty Shades of Vibrators" (corrected to "Fifty Shades of Gray") or sleeping with one's boss. Ellen offers Kelly advice to "be yourself," be authentic, and avoid simply copying other talk show formats.

The transcript then shifts to an interview with Sherri Shepherd, who talks about her life on the East Coast and her two daughters, Olive (tough, athletic) and Frankie (airy, philosophical). Sherri recounts being Ellen DeGeneres's upstairs neighbor, playing loud rap music, receiving incense from Ellen, and Ellen's tendency to park crookedly in her space. She also discusses her sitcom, "Less Than Perfect," and a humorous experience learning to strip for an episode, even mentioning plans to get a retractable pole for her husband. Sherri concludes by revealing a "dark side" hobby: pretending to be dead to scare people, a quirk she attributes to an earlier interest in becoming a mortician.
