We’ve heard stories for months that Kardashian matriarch (and evil mastermind) Kris Jenner was about to get her own talkshow. I was hoping those were just rumors planted by Kris to raise interest in whatever scheme she was cooking to expand her family empire, and that nothing would come of it. In January it was announced that it was a done deal with Fox though, and now Kris’ talkshow has a premiere date. According to Deadline, it’s coming out in July and will have a six week trial run.
Twentieth Television today announced that Robert Lifton has been named executive producer of Kris. The new pop cuture-driven daytime talk show, hosted and executive produced by Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, will premiere on Monday, July 15, launching a six-week trial summer run on several Fox-owned stations, including flagships Fox 5 in New York and Fox 11 in Los Angeles. Lifton has 20 years of producing experience though his is a syndicated talk show novice. Recently, he created and oversaw E!’s weekday program Daily 10. Previously, he executive produced Fox Sports Network’s Best Damn Sports Show Period. Additional credits include upcoming Bravo series Property Envy, Access Hollywood and ESPN SportsCenter.
You know who else had a talkshow air on several Fox channels in a six week summer test last year? Bethenny Frankel, and Bethenny’s show is called “Bethenny,” just like Kris’ show will be called “Kris.” Bethenny’s show did well and it got picked up for a fall release this year. (Its produced by Warner Brothers while Kris’ show is produced by Twentieth Television.) I think Kris got wind of what Bethenny was doing and she thought she could do it better, only I doubt that’s true. I’m predicting that Bethenny’s show will hang in there while Kris’ will be dead in the water. Bethenny may be annoying but people like her. Kris is a polarizing figure and you can smell the sh*t oozing from her pores when she talks. That was harsh, I’m just saying that Kris is full of obvious sh*t, not that she smells like anything other than dizzying perfume, the kind that lingers on an elevator for a half an hour after she leaves.

Let’s hope so…along with all her other Krap shows.
I was very shocked that at this point Kris Jenner would be given a chance to have her own talk show. I do find Bethanny annoying, but I also find her interesting. Kris Jenner is not interesting and people are no longer interested in her at all.
What in the world will a woman so money-driven and self-involved talk about? She so badly wants to be The Star I can’t see her letting the focus be on any other person. Happily, I’ll never know how her show goes as I have no intention of ever tuning in.
How is her figure better than her daughters? Liposuction? Did her ex husband rob kardashian have large female relatives in spite of his thinness?
I loathe this vile woman. She makes my skin crawl!
Who do they think will watch this? Isn’t she pretty widely despised by now?
That’s exactly what I was thinking
She is a vile POS
I have nothing good to say about her and can only hope the rest of Americans feel like I do and no one watches this pimp called a mother.
I agree, i will be sooo disappointed in americans if this show is actually picked up. I cant believe KUWTK has gone on for this long they are all such boring horrible people
Maybe we should all stop watching Fox if they have the gall to put this thing on. Shame on them.
the only thing i like about kris jenner is that she has, and always had, short hair. in los angeles/beverly hills/whatever fancy enclave in which she lives, that is super rare so props to her for not caving in to long hair pressure.
Truly admirable
LOL Lolly. I appreciate a good dose of sarcasm in the morning.
It’s such a bad haircut though. It’s a freaking mushroom cut circa 1985
Who is going to be on her show? Besides her daughters…Everyone knows she just wants attention I don’t think she will like sharing it with any actual guests. It will probably be like one long advert for all the awful Kardashian shows and “fashion stores”.
I can’t see her getting anyone but Z-listers, like her kids, on the show. I agree with those above — there is no way that she will be able to stop bringing the focus back to her.
I really hope that the tv audience demands more from television than someone as talentless and shallow as this — can we truly do no better than her?
I honestly think that it will do well for the firs few weeks and then die a slow and painful death. The Kartrashian fan base will keep it afloat for a while but eventually they will see that this woman has nothing of value to offer at all. If AC could not keep his show I highly doubt she will do better.
I’m interested in this as a sociological experiment (not as a potential viewer, because gross). People rant about the Kardashians, but they’re everywhere. Their shows get good ratings (right?), they’re on the cover of almost every gossip magazine almost every week, and they’ve built this huge empire that began with a sex tape. It’s like the new American Dream.
Anyway, everyone thinks Kris’ show will probably fail, but will it? If she was smart, she’d focus on being a mom and have celebrity mommies on as guests. Mommies are obsessed with being mommies and they automatically support anyone who’s given birth. And little (K)north West will make her debut on the show, thus kicking off the first day of the rest of her life (on camera).
Last week, Duck Dynasty brought in 3x the viewers the KUWTK show did. Tic,tic, tic, Kartrashians.
OT: Those guys on DD are hilarious to watch.
I’m oddly comforted by that information. I’m still convinced that the tide will turn in Kim’s favor once she has the baby, especially if Kanye continues to keep his distance, though.
I’d love to think this show will bomb, but KUWTK just goes on and on, with Kourtney, Kim and Khloe taking out major cities and Kanye West during the off-season.
I’m afraid she will pull enough of whoever it is watching their franchise to keep this talk show on the air. I hope I’m wrong.
I cannot stand the two-tone shoes. The white strap looks like home monitoring devices or something. As for the show, I think she’ll have high ratings initially because people want to see what a train wreck she it’ll be.
Can everyone please boycott this show? Don’t even watch it out of morbid curiosity.
Judging by how fast this post is dropping and the number of comments: DOA.
And she might try dressing her age. I think she’s about my age, and you can dress nicely (and look great without looking like grandma) without looking like an old hooker.
My cat has more brain cells than this moron; please make this show DOA and why is any network bottom feeding this badly?
Every cat on the planet has more brain cells than these morons.
Mama June with Boo-boo, and Dina Lohan first guests? There’s a winning combo..
Guess now we know why Kim is having a baby. Kris made a deal with the devil.
As bad as she is, she’s still not as bad White Oprah.
“I’m just saying that Kris is full of obvious sh*t, not that she smells like anything other than dizzying perfume, the kind that lingers on an elevator for a half an hour after she leaves. ”
CB that is EXACTLY how Kim Kardashian’s perfume smells! My friend sprayed it when we were at Nordstrom’s and it lingered forever. I have no clue why they’d give this women a show. The Kardashian’s are like roaches. They’ll survive nuclear bombs smh.
I would love to see DOA associated with Kris Jenner in a way that had no relationship to her “new” show. Oh well, we can only dream.
Why is she wearing white belts on her ankles? Honestly, Fox is becoming downright insulting now, essentially telling us that we’re so stupid that we’ll watch this harridan. Potential guests? The aforementioned June/BooBoo mess and Dina Lohan, Leann Rimes, maybe, and all those hillbillies who now have reality shows. I’ll never watch her show, but I’ll happily boycott the films of any actors who give her publicity/ratings by appearing on it.
