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.

After a weeks-long unexplained absence for a "personal matter," pop singer and television host Kelly Clarkson returned to her eponymous talk show to celebrate 1,000 shows since its debut in September 2019.
