Page Six claims P!nk has moved to New York and is being discussed as a possible future host replacement for The Kelly Clarkson Show.

TL;DR
P!nk guest hosting a full week is real. The idea that she is the long term successor is still unconfirmed chatter with zero official announcement from NBC.

Key Details
Project: The Kelly Clarkson Show, post Kelly exit plans
What’s rumored: Producers are considering P!nk as a longer term host replacement
Source type : Page Six report, amplified by other outlets
• P!nk is scheduled to guest host a full week starting March 2, per Entertainment Weekly.
• Kelly Clarkson has announced her talk show will end after its current run.

Breakdown
This is exactly how daytime TV tries out the next era. You book a recognizable name, let them run the desk for a week, and watch the numbers and the vibe.

The guest host part is the clean, confirmed piece here. Entertainment Weekly reporting that P!nk is doing a full week is a real “audition in public,” even if it is framed as a special programming block.

The replacement chatter is the messy part. Page Six is not an official network statement, and daytime host hiring is usually tightly controlled until contracts are signed and schedules are locked.

Also, a permanent daily show is a lifestyle commitment. Touring, residency plans, family logistics, and brand deals all matter. Even if a producer loves the idea, the calendar has to cooperate, and those details are not public.

What We Know
• The Kelly Clarkson Show is ending after its current run, per the intake.
• P!nk is booked to guest host for a full week starting March 2, per Entertainment Weekly.
• Page Six reports producers are considering her as a longer term option.

What We Don’t Know
• Whether P!nk has had any formal talks with NBC about a permanent hosting role
• Whether the show keeps the same format or gets rebranded with a new host
• The shortlist of other names being tested or considered
• Timing, if any, for when NBC would announce a successor

How Credible Is This?
Source quality: Medium. Page Six can be plugged in, but this is not a trade confirmation or an NBC announcement.
Anything confirming or contradicting it: The guest host booking supports the idea she is in the mix. Nothing confirms a permanent deal.
Confidence level: Low to Medium.

Production Reality Check
A new host decision usually comes down to three things: audience testing, schedule availability, and cost.

If NBC wants a “big name” successor, it has to work financially and logistically. If P!nk has major touring blocks or long term commitments, the daily cadence becomes harder. If she is moving into a more New York based routine, it becomes easier, but the details are not confirmed publicly.

Does It Make Sense?
Studio logic: A star host can stabilize ratings and keep advertisers comfortable during a transition.
Audience demand: P!nk has broad appeal, but daytime is also about consistency and comfort, not just fame. The question is whether her vibe fits five days a week.

What to Watch Next
• NBC statements about the post Kelly plan, even a vague “we are exploring options” line
• More guest host weeks that look like test runs
• Reputable trade reporting that confirms an actual negotiation
• Signs of brand repositioning, like new show naming or a new production lead

Sources
• Page Six — “Pink has moved to NY, possibly taking over Kelly Clarkson’s show”
• Entertainment Weekly — “Pink to guest host Kelly Clarkson Show…”
• TMZ — “Pink Could Take Over ‘Kelly Clarkson Show,’ According to New Report”
