Kelly Clarkson is "very excited" to be launching her own talk show

Explaining 'The Voice' winner Brynn Cartelli will be joining her on the road, she told Jimmy Fallon: "She's opening, and Kelsea Ballerini. We're starting in January.

"I'm doing this thing to kind of prep for my talk show that's gonna be next year, but we're doing a live segment during my show, so every night on tour we're going live online...I've got a lot of jobs, Jimmy!"

The surprised 'Tonight Show' host said: "This is a big announcement because this has not been announced yet..."

Kelly replied: "Well, it's been leaked! I'm very excited."

The programme will air before 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' but the 36-year-old star promised it will be "a little different" to anything that's been shown on TV before.

She said: "We sing every day on the show and do this fan request thing. It's fun. In the pilot, I got people to sing with me and do little skits," she added. "It's very musical; it would be weird if it wasn't!"

While Kelly - who has children River, four, and Remy, 21 months, with husband Brandon Blackstock - is excited to do more of her "favourite pastime"; talking, she needs to learn to listen before taking on hosting duties.

She admitted: "I didn't think I'd ever do it, but we shot the pilot. I love talking; it's like my favorite pastime.

"It's hard for me to shut up, though. You have to listen to people who come on your show, and I just keep talking. That's the only thing I've got to work on: listening."
