Kelly Clarksonisn’t looking to be the nextEllen DeGeneres, thank you very much.
“Nobody is going to fill Ellen’s shoes,” Clarkson said.

Very few people can conquer what they conquered.
My team is very stoked, and I believe in my team.
But by no means am I filling anyone’s shoes I don’t want that pressure.”
And then Ellen came in.
There’s room for everyone, Clarkson assured.
“I am so excited for Sherri Shepherd.
I’m so stoked for her.
She’s one of my favorite guests,” she said.
“And I’m so excited for Jennifer Hudson.
Who would have thought two girls fromIdolwould be doing this key in of thing?
There’s room for everyone.
I just wanted to say that, because I don’t like how people pit us against each other.
I want to be sure that everyone knows that we are supportive of each other.”
The show has won 13 Daytime Emmy Awards.
