The Kelly Clarkson Show has landed a highly coveted new time slot for fall 2022.

The talk show will fill the void left by Ellen DeGeneres after she wraps up her 19-year run next year, it was announced on Wednesday.

DeGeneres said she quit because she did not feel 'challenged.' She was plagued by allegations she had fostered a 'toxic' work environment which caused her ratings to dip.

Clarkson's show has become a hit thanks to her winning personality, casual interview style and high-profile celebrity guests.

It is currently in its second season and was renewed late last year for two additional runs that takes it through 2023.

There had been rumours Drew Barrymore or Tiffany Haddish would take Ellen's time slot but that has proved to not be true.

Ellen will end her show in 2022 after 19 years.

The TV presenter confirmed in mid May the upcoming 19th series of The Ellen DeGeneres Show will be her last, and she is 'forever grateful' to her fans for 'changing her life' by watching the program.

In a pre-recorded video from her show, shared on her Twitter account, she told her virtual audience: 'I am announcing that next season, season 19, is going to be my last season.

'So, the past 18 years, you have to know have changed my life. You have all changed my life. I'm forever grateful to all of you for watching, for laughing and dancing, sometimes crying. This show has been the greatest experience of my life, and I owe it all to you. So, thank you.'

Ellen - who is married to Portia de Rossi - pondered the decision 'for a while', but also admitted that when she penned a three-season extension two years ago she knew then the 19th series would be her last.
