·       She might be making a major career shift-because apparently, even America's sweetheart gets burnt out.
·       According to The Daily Mail, NBC has offered her Hoda Kotb's old seat on Today With Hoda & Jenna.
·       But there's a problem: an insider says Kelly is "overwhelmed" by hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show and is "contemplating" the offer.
·       Translation: She's tired. And honestly, relatable.
·       The Grammy winner has been running her own show since 2019, but she's recently missed multiple episodes.
·       The alleged reason? Work-life balance struggles. Again, relatable.
·       NBC really doesn't want to lose her. The network is reportedly scrambling to keep her on board, and if that means moving her to a different time slot, they're open to it.
·       A source claims Kelly was inspired by Hoda Kotb's decision to step away and spend more time with her kids.
·       They said "Kelly wants to spend more time with her kids. She feels she is missing too much of their lives." Which, fair.
·       So will she actually take the job? That's still up in the air.
·       A different insider says the network is "a ways away" from naming a full-time replacement.
·       In the meantime, Jenna Bush Hager will keep hosting with a rotating lineup of celebrities.
·       Olivia Munn was the latest guest co-host, and Scarlett Johansson was an early fan favorite.
·       But unless Kelly decides she's ready for Today, the search continues.
