Oscar Season is Starting Up on The Kelly Clarkson Show with Brendan Fraser & Jenny Slate.

 By Laura Medina

The day this scribe was a Kelly Clarkson Show audience member was when Oscar-nominated "Whale" actor, Brendan Fraser said he realized he was nominated when his two sons surprised him in bed, with a Carvel Fudgie the Whale Ice Cream Cake, with balloons, as a celebratory breakfast in bed, for being nominated as Best Lead Actor for the Oscars.

Another cool tidbit being an audience member is when a guest tells cool insider trivia, as in performing your own stunts.

Brendan almost accidentally hang himself on "The Mummy" set.

Another cool tidbit is that he does photography documenting behind the scenes of whatever movie set he's on, as a hobby to fill in the between times between takes.

Before any guest appears on set, Kelly warms up the audience with her "Kellyoke," belting out  "1979" by Smashing Pumpkins.

If you want to see and learn more about Brendan Fraser and Jenny Slate, who talked about her Cuban-Jewish grandmother moving to Paris, right into World War II, catch "The Kelly Clarkson Show" around 2pm.
