Fans Commend Kelly Clarkson for Incredibly Generous Gift to Studio Audience
Kelly Clarkson
Talk about starting out with a bang.
Kelly Clarkson pulled off the ultimate surprise for her audience during the Season 5 premiere episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, which kicked on Monday, Oct. 16.
To mark her first episode at her new New York City filming location, the "Since U Been Gone" singer took the opportunity to celebrate the city's doormen and doorwomen, who filled the audience stands while dressed in their uniforms.
Clarkson, 41, made a point to highlight one doorman in particular: a man by the name of Noel Maguire, who not only greets people when they come home but also helps feed and clothe more than 100 unhoused people in Manhattan.
While inviting Maguire on stage as a guest during the episode, the American Idol alum told the audience all about his admirable work before revealing that she had something planned for him in return for his service.
That's when Clarkson shared the extravagant gift she had planned for not only Maguire, but all of the doormen and doorwomen in the audience: a luxurious 4-day Caribbean vacation to Saint Lucia.
Maguire and the rest of the crowd were left absolutely speechless after hearing Clarkson's announcement, but the former coach on The Voice kept the excitement coming, revealing that all of their airfare would be taken care of as well.
While everyone in the studio cheered, a group of flight attendants from Jet Blue Airways came on stage to offer some celebratory champagne and give everyone in the audience free plane tickets.
"That is AWESOME!" one fan wrote in the comments on the YouTube video from the episode, while tons more of Clarkson's fans chimed in to applaud her for the extremely generous gesture.
"I love your heart Kelly," another viewer wrote. "I hope you all know how amazing you are and how much this show has brought to the world."
"Those people are going to have the time of their lives!" someone else exclaimed.
