Kelly Clarkson is going out with a bang when it comes to The Kelly Clarkson Show!

The American Idol alum, 43, will take a week-long break from her eponymous daytime talk show, with singer Pink stepping in to replace her for the week.

And ahead of her week of guest hosting, the "Just Give Me a Reason" hitmaker, 46, decided to drop in on her studio audience for some early tips, which you can watch happen in the video above.

She was joined by her close friend Kerri Kenney-Silver, with the comedian and actress (best known for Reno 911!) joining Pink as a co-host on Friday, March 6.

Pink will also take over Kellyoke duties (Pink-oke?), starting things off strong on Monday, March 2 by bringing out her teenage daughter Willow Sage Hart for a duet to "Hopeless War" from their favorite musical, The Outsiders.

Pink's week of hosting kicks off with Broadway in 6A, joined by Darren Criss and Shoshana Bean as guests. Other guests over the course of the week include Scream 7 stars Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, Wunmi Mosaku, Allison Williams, Priyanka Chopra, Morgan Freeman, Kandi Burruss, Chloe Kim, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and many more.
