BLINDSIDED: Steve Harvey's daytime talk show is being replaced by Kelly Clarkson's new talk show

The Hollywood Reporter reported Kelly Clarkson would premiere her new syndicated series, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," in Fall 2019 as a lead-in to "Ellen" on NBC Owned TV Station group stations, replacing Steve Harvey's "Steve" daytime show


No one in NBC told Steve about the fate of his popular daytime talk show.
At Vareity's Entertainment Summit at CES this week, Steve,61 said he wasn't sure if his show will stay with NBCUniversal after the season ends.

“I thought I was until they made an announcement a couple weeks ago that they wanted to give Kelly Clarkson the owned and operated NBC Networks, and that’s my slot. I don’t know if it sold — it’s not selling like they thought,” he said.

He said he found out about the change through social media.

“I thought it would’ve been nice of them to come to me — as being the only dude that’s survived [in daytime TV] for them for seven years — and say, ‘Steve, we’re thinking about doing this.’ But no, they just made an announcement. So when you do that, I gotta make announcements, too,” he said.

“You can’t make announcements and don’t expect to have to hear one yourself,” he said. “And so, I’m working. It’ll be something real cute.”

He continued:

“I’m an honorable guy and I’m just an old school guy and I just thought that you’re supposed to talk to people and go, ‘Look, you’ve been good business for us. This is what we’re thinking of doing. Are you okay with that?’ No, you don’t just put something in the paper and say, ‘I’m gonna make this move right here’ because it’s crazy. You look at the numbers on my show and it’s No. 4 in daytime television — it’s holding right there. I got a hit, so somebody’s gonna recognize that.”

Steve also addressed comments made by fellow daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres about quitting her show:


"Steve" has already been renewed for the 2018-2019 season, but the host/comedian said that daytime TV is "dying."  We wonder if Wendy Williams and the folks on "The View" agree.  Or Marjorie, who we're sure is not trying to be put on a spending budget....... spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
