We're far off from the days of Oprah ruling daytime, and even the premiere of Ellen Degeneres' show. In the interim, countless daytime shows have come and gone, but two new ones premiering this week--one hosted by Tamron Hall and the other by Kelly Clarkson--are hoping they can make enough of an impact to stick around.
