Fair maiden Kelly Clarkson has a nice ring to it! The singer and daytime talk show host underwent a fantasy-inspired makeover to go method for the latest guests on her show.

Kelly, 42, will be welcoming Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone to the NBC talk show, with the married couple out to promote their brand new podcast, Hildy the Barback and the Lake of Fire.

The podcast presents itself as a tale of yore, complete with extravagant and intricate stories detailing whimsical adventures with celebrity guests like Octavia Spencer and Glenn Close.

And it looks like Kelly wants to audition for a guest spot as well, matching her guests' full fantastical garb with some choice fashion pieces of her own.

While Ben, 51, appeared in a full suit of chainmail armor, and Melissa, 54, wore a dress with a silver dragon wrapped around her, Kelly opted to style her red satin dress with pieces to match.

She wore a crown atop her head and added to the mix a grand brown cape with a fur lining, and then sat down to interview them with a silver battle ax in her hand.

They had to take a brief aside when Kelly asked what a necromancer was and when Melissa explained it was a "sorcerer, kinda into the dead," she burst out laughing when she connected it with necrophilia. "Not necrophilia, that's different! That's different," the Bridesmaids star quickly had to clarify.
