Daytime Talk Show Schedule 2026: What's Still On, What Ended, and When Each Season Starts
Quick answer: The View airs weekdays on ABC at 11 a.m. ET, 10 a.m. CT and 10 a.m. PT. Live with Kelly and Mark, The Drew Barrymore Show, Tamron Hall and The Jennifer Hudson Show are syndicated, so the local station sets the hour in every time zone. All five run Monday through Friday. The Kelly Clarkson Show (last episode Aug. 31, 2026) and Sherri (May 21, 2026) have ended.
That lineup holds from week to week. The guests change, so each week's bookings sit in a dated block near the end of this page.
Two of the best-known daytime hours, The Kelly Clarkson Show and Sherri, ended in 2026. That is the fastest way to understand this schedule: one network panel show that has now outlasted almost everything around it, plus four syndicated hours whose time slots belong to local stations.
Below is what airs, when each season starts, and what happened to the hours that disappeared.
Which daytime talk shows are still on?
The View runs 11 a.m. ET weekdays on ABC and opened Season 30 on Sept. 8, 2026, with the same six women at the table: Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro.
Live with Kelly and Mark opened its new season on Sept. 8. The show counts it as Season 39; it is the fifth with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos hosting together. It is syndicated, so the hour moves by market — 9 a.m. on WABC in New York is the common pattern on ABC affiliates.
The Drew Barrymore Show opened Season 7 on Sept. 14, carried mostly by CBS stations, with a premiere week taped partly at the Daisy Chain Fields festival. An eighth season is already ordered for 2027-28.
Tamron Hall and The Jennifer Hudson Show are on every weekday as well. Both are syndicated, so the hour depends on the station that carries them.
What ended in 2026?
The Kelly Clarkson Show closed on Aug. 31 after seven seasons and four Daytime Emmy wins for its host through 2023. Clarkson announced the exit in February, months after the death of her former husband, and framed it around music and her two children.
Sherri ended earlier, on May 21, when Debmar-Mercury cancelled it after four seasons. Sherri Shepherd said publicly that the decision blindsided her.
What replaced The Kelly Clarkson Show?
Nothing, nationally — and that is the story. NBC's owned stations filled the hour locally instead of buying another talk show: a news block in New York, a streaming-news simulcast in Philadelphia, Dateline repeats in Chicago and Boston, Hallie Jackson Now in San Diego.
Stations are choosing news and local programming over the syndicated model that carried daytime for forty years. If you want one number for the trend, it is this: two of the five daytime talk hours on this site's original list no longer exist.
Why is daytime talk shrinking?
Syndication economics, mostly. A national talk hour has to clear enough stations to pay for a studio, a band and a booking staff, and stations increasingly find that an extra half hour of local news costs less and sells the same advertising.
Both 2026 cancellations fit that pattern rather than a ratings collapse. Sherri was pulled by its distributor, and when Clarkson stepped away, no buyer stepped in to fill the hour she left.
What survives has a network or a station group behind it. The View is ABC's own show, Live is carried by ABC stations, and Drew Barrymore has CBS stations plus a two-season renewal — three different versions of the same protection.
When does each season start?
| Show | Season | Premiere | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live with Kelly and Mark | 39 | Sept. 8, 2026 | Syndicated, ABC stations |
| The View | 30 | Sept. 8, 2026 | ABC, 11 a.m. ET |
| The Drew Barrymore Show | 7 | Sept. 14, 2026 | Syndicated, CBS stations |
Season premieres cluster in the week after Labor Day, which is also when guest bookings restart. The weeks before that are almost entirely repeats.
How do you find the time in your market?
For The View, the answer is fixed: 11 a.m. ET, 10 a.m. CT, on your ABC station. For the two syndicated hours, the station decides, and neighbouring cities often differ by an hour.
The quickest check is your provider's on-screen guide or the show's own station finder, and once you have it, the slot usually holds for the whole season.
Where can you stream them?
The View and Live both post full episodes to Hulu the following day. Drew Barrymore's show goes to Paramount+. Clips land on each show's YouTube channel within hours, which is often all you want if a single interview is what you missed.
Who is on daytime talk shows this week?
What sets the week: Andy Cohen is on The View on Tuesday and on Live on Wednesday, Stephen A. Smith is on The View on Wednesday, and Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis close the week on The View on Friday (every day's board is under the week of Oct. 19 lineups).

FAQ

What time is The View on? 11 a.m. ET, weekdays, on ABC — 10 a.m. in the Central and Pacific time zones.
Is Live with Kelly and Mark still on? Yes. Its new season, the show's 39th, started Sept. 8, 2026.
Is The Drew Barrymore Show new this week? Yes. Season 7 premiered Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, with new episodes all five days.
Is Sherri still on the air? No. Its distributor pulled it in 2026, making it one of two daytime talk hours lost this year alongside Clarkson's.
Can I watch a full episode the next day? Yes for The View and Live, which post full episodes to Hulu; Drew Barrymore's go to Paramount+ instead, and clips from all three hit YouTube within hours.
Why does Live air at a different hour in my city? Because it is syndicated rather than networked. Each ABC station picks its own slot, so neighbouring markets can be an hour apart.
Each day's bookings go up in the daytime section — see Sept. 7 for the season's first board, or the lineups for the week of Sept. 8. The Emmys variety series race explains why several shows went dark on Monday, Sept. 14. Late night has a separate grid, and the full host list is in who hosts what.

One daytime question this page does not answer: where the hosts' clothes come from. How TV wardrobes actually work covers the loans, the stylists, and why the same dress turns up twice.
