Before actress Rita Wilson wrapped up her interview on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” this past spring, she had something she wanted to say to the host.
“I want to thank you for the years that you’ve been doing your show. I want to thank you for literally changing the game when it came to daytime television,” said Wilson, who had recently released her latest studio album. “The fact that you love music, that you have brought so much music to daytime — that you have shared with us your voice, your gifts and everyone else’s, and your incredible band.”
