Carafe, giraffe — they're pretty much the same thing, right? Well, they kind of are in Kelly Clarkson's world, at least. As anyone who watches "The Kelly Clarkson Show" knows, the host will get tripped up while reading the teleprompter from time to time. Yes, the Texas native occasionally has trouble getting her words out. Hey, it happens to the best of us... just not in front of millions of at home viewers, a large crew, several TV cameras, and a live audience.
In a series appropriately named "Words Are Hard," we see Clarkson attempting to say various words and phrases on her daytime talk show. When the word "carafe" came up on her teleprompter, for example, she asked for clarification, quipping, "I'm not fancy! I just say coffee brewer or something." When someone offscreen explained to her how to say the term, she fired back, "Carafe? Like a giraffe?" Other highlights include her attempts at "Magic Mike" star Joe Manganiello's surname as well as the word "reboot" (spoiler alert: she went with "repoot"). Moments like this are why we love Kelly Clarkson.
"I'm never going to be Whitney Houston — I'm never going to be Cyndi Lauper, Reba or Trisha or Mariah," she told The New York Times in 2021. "I'm going to be me. I think that's fine. There's room for everyone at the table." Hopefully, there aren't any chair malfunctions at that table.
