Kelly Clarkson gets honest about ‘The Rookie’ cameo

In 2023, Kelly Clarkson does a cameo in The Rookie. But after a year, she wants to apologize to the cast and crew.

Explaining why, she said on her daytime talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show, “Oh my God, I was terrified. I have to apologize to that cast and crew. I was terrified.”

She appeared in season five, episode 12, Death Notice, as she continued, “The Rookie they invited me, and here’s the thing — I’m a huge, like, I’ve been a fan of Nathan Fillion since Castle. I already get nervous on sets, but then he made me more nervous than I have ever been on a set… I was an idiot on that set.”

The Stronger singer shared that walk-on roles are not her cup of tea. “Maybe Only Murders in the Building because I love Only Murders,” the Just Sing hitmaker noted. “But no, I’ve seen the level in which that show [operates] — I am not a walk-on, so I actually take that back.”

“That’s never been my goal to be like, ‘Oh, I want to do all these things.’ I’m just a big fan,” Kelly concluded.
