The Kelly Clarkson Show is a popular daytime talk show featuring celebrity interviews, musical performances, and engaging segments. Recently, vegan chef Priyanka Naik joined Kelly Clarkson on the show to cook a delicious Bucatini a la Pumpkin dish in front of a live studio audience.
The appearance was a whirlwind experience for Naik, who received a last-minute invitation and quickly flew to Hollywood for the filming. The show provided a full celebrity treatment, complete with hair and makeup, a personal dressing room, and even a thoughtful gift from Kelly Clarkson herself.
Clarkson’s genuine warmth and energy made the on-camera experience a breeze. The live audience added an electrifying atmosphere to the cooking segment, making it even more enjoyable. Sara Gilbert, known for her role on “Roseanne,” also joined the fun, adding to the excitement of the Kelly Clarkson Show Today Live taping.
In addition to her Kelly Clarkson Show appearance, Naik also made a second appearance on the TODAY Show, showcasing her Chili Maple Skillet Cornbread recipe from her cookbook, “The Modern Tiffin.” This time, the segment was filmed at home, requiring extensive preparation and setup.
Cooking live on television, whether in a studio or at home, presents a unique challenge with no room for error. Naik embraces the pressure and enjoys the thrill of performing in real-time.
