âWhen things are tough, [itâs that] Mister Rogers saying: âYou look for the helpers.â And that's what we always try always try to do,â Duda said at the time. âSo that's why our premiere this year was just about going back to that and finding the light.

As its title suggests, Celebs With Skills sees stars visit the program to teach Clarkson a useful talent. Past stars include* Parks & Rec *alum Nick Offerman, who educated the grammy-winning singer and a group of children on the importance of woodworking.
