The 2023 NFL Honors ceremony is set to be organised on Thursday before the Super Bowl.
Singer and television personality Kelly Clarkson will helm the 2023 NFL Honors ceremony. The 40-year-old will be the first woman ever to host the show since it started in 2012.
Actor Alec Baldwin hosted the NFL Honors for its first three years. Steve Harvey, Seth Meyers, Conan O’Brien, Rob Riggle, and Keegan Michael-Key were among the hosts for other seasons.
Clarkson gained popularity after she won the first season of American Idol in 2002. She is currently hosting the fourth season of her NBC talk show, Kelly Clarkson Show. She is also a coach on The Voice. She has 11 top-10 singles in the United States and nine top-10 singles in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
Clarkson said that she was surprised by her selection in an interview with Access Daily’s Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover. “I had mixed feelings. I was like, ‘Now, wait, I’m not involved in sports ball whatsoever. Shouldn’t you ask someone who’s involved in the sports community?” she said.
