Fellow "American Idol" alum Jennifer Hudson temporarily filled in for Clarkson following her ex-husband's death. Kelly Clarkson is returning to The Voice after taking a brief absence from the reality singing competition following the death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.

Fans of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” are likely familiar with the “Songs & Stories” segment from the singer’s talk show. So far, it has featured several artists, including Miranda Lambert, Chris Martin, Babyface, Alanis Morissette and Pink.

One of the most intriguing parts of the episode was when Nick and Clarkson went down memory lane and remembered that they inadvertently did a song with Saturday Night Live legend Steve Martin two years ago. "I get this call, they're like, 'Hey, can you approve this split for this song with Kelly?" Nick recalled.
