The 2020 Daytime Emmy Award nominations were released last week and The Kelly Clarkson Show racked up 7 nominations, which is unprecedented especially for a show's first year. 

Clarkson's daytime talk show premiered in August of 2019 to raved reviews and has already been renewed for a second season.

The overall show is nominated for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show, and Clarkson herself is up for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host.

The Kelly Clarkson Show crew also scored five nominations, in the categories of Outstanding Directing for a Talk, Entertainment News or Morning Program, Outstanding Lighting Direction, Outstanding Technical Team, Outstanding Live and Direct-to-Tape Sound Mixing and Outstanding Art Direction / Set Decoration / Scenic Design.

Production was originally shut down for the talk show following strict at home rules, but has since resumed with Clarkson filming the show remotely from her family ranch in Montana. 

The in-person Emmys Award show has been canceled due to COVID-19, but there will be a 2-hour television special to air on June 26th where the awards will be given out from home.
