Kris Jenner’s promos for the ‘Kris’ talkshow: horrific or not as bad as expected?

A few months ago, CB delivered the terrible, apocalyptic news that Kris Jenner was preparing to launch her own talk show, “Kris,” on several Fox-owned stations starting in July. With any luck at all, this show’s planned 6-week intro will be as far as it goes, but I have my doubts that society will come to its senses. After all, E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” is still going strong into season 8, and the episode wherein Kim revealed the sex of her and Kanye West’s baby somehow scored 3 million viewers. Ridiculous.

And so Kris probably (and sadly) stands a decent chance at lasting at least a few seasons with her talkshow endeavor. Two new promo clips have been released, and my god, her voice just grates. In the second clip, she chirps, “Hi, I’m Kris Jenner, and I’m a mom with a pretty active family. When we’re all just hanging out, that’s my favorite time. Lots of laughs, great conversation, and I thought, ‘That would make for a great talk show!’ So…you’re in for a good time.” As if.

Let us all hope that those millions of Kardashian fans come to their senses before in July so that this talk show will be terribly short lived, and then Kris can go back to pimping socks for Rob “Prefontaine” Kardashian.

Ugh, these photos. Don’t even think that I’m not noticing the total lack of irony of Kris grinning widely as she poses next to rapey Joe Francis at Scott Disick’s 30th birthday party in Vegas last week.

    I’m going to stop watching Fox-owned stations. Enough with these people.

  2. Dawn says:

    I will not be watching her do anything ever. Love the picture with the child raper however, that goes to show you who these people are. Sad that Americans (and the world) made the decision to make them millionaires without really knowing who they are. Bla.

    • FLORC says:

      Dawn
      This is the world today. The mindless keep the mindless in power and wealthy. It’s sick and we’re only digging the hole deeper.
      And Kris is going broke, right? Thought I read that somewhere credible… She’s taken a hit with Rob’s failed sock empire and if this show fails she won’t continue to do well for long. Bruce is on his way out too, right? Hmm…

      Also, I read “Love the picture with the child raper” and thought “child rapist (since raper isn’t a word, but it sounded right)”. I’m glad I looked twice!

    • Nicolette says:

      It is sad that the world got sucked into this mess and made them famous. All from some idiot getting urinated on in a sex tape. That really says a lot about who we put on a pedestal these days. It would be nice to see them, and all “reality” show “celebrities” fade into the sunset already.

      To think when I was a kid there were about 8 channels to choose from (yes it’s true) and there was always something good on to watch, better yet it was FREE! Now we have hundreds of channels, and pay crazy bills every month for cable to spend a lot of the time channel surfing. I hope this woman’s (and I use that term loosely) show is an epic failure, and the beginning of the end for this bunch. They’ve made more than enough money to go away and live in luxury, and not be seen or heard from anymore.

      • MademoiselleRose says:

        The trouble is there is always someone to replace them. I was so relieved when I didn’t have to read about Paris Hilton everyday, but then along came the Kardashians. There will be someone else…

  3. dorothy says:

    It won’t last a season. Ratings for the Kardashian show’s have slipped, interest in them is waning.

    • CG says:

      Yeah, I knew the beginning of the end of the Kardashians was here a few months ago when I got one of those survey e-mails from E. They were asking my opinion of the Ks and whether I thought the Ks were relatable and like me and would I want to be friends with them and hang out with them. (I think I only gave favorable opinions of Bruce, Khloe, Kendall and maybe Kylie. Everyone else I just kept repeating, “This family is awful.” Too bad I didn’t call Kris “Lucifer’s homegirl,” though!) I was like, “Wow, the Kardashian backlash must finally be hitting E if they’re sending out e-mails like this.” So hopefully E finally sees the writing on the wall and doesn’t renew their contract and they fade into obscurity sooner rather than later!

  4. Susie Q says:

    I’d rather shove bamboo under my fingernails than watch this, hopefully most agree and it fails quickly.

  5. whipmyhair says:

    Isn’t there a limit on talk shows? How many does the world need?

    Besides a talk show needs good guests; no matter how charming the host (or many deals with the devil they’ve made) if the guests are D-list no one really cares.

    I have Ellen, she’s all I need for my talk show fix!

    • NerdMomma says:

      Ellen is the best! Charming host + great sense of humor + great guests. Between Ellen and Jimmy Fallon, no other talk shows are needed!

      • TG says:

        I know I never get to see Elllen because if work but when I have she comes across as honest and even vulnerable which makes me want to protect her. I know weird. She just seems like a genuine person who has not let success go to her head.

      • Jag says:

        Don’t forget Craig Ferguson. He’s the only late night guy I’d ever watch now.

  6. Assistantrachel says:

    These ads are the corniest thing I have ever seen…

  7. Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    Ugh.

  8. Helen says:

    Well dear Americans you created that thing called Kardashians and you infected the whole world. You will pay for that someday and so far you stuck with them. Good luck.

  9. Lucy2 says:

    I hope it crashes and burns, and fast.
    I think people are still turning into the show to see the trainwreck (I do wish they would stop!) but I think she is pretty universally despised, and no one wants to watch her on her own. Hopefully.

  10. sarah says:

    I was flipping through the channels the other day and stopped on E! for a second. I witnessed Kourtney chasing Scott around their house while wearing a strap-on. That was the only time I’ve ever seen any of their shows. It will also be the last. Is this seriously entertainment to people?!

    • Dawn says:

      Ewwww so sick but the sad part is all the adults out there that let their girls watch and emulate this trash. I think E! should be ashamed for keeping these people on the air and calling them A list. I use to sort of like Kourtney because she is the only one that finished HS and got a college degree but she is proving to be as sick as the rest of her family. This family will do anything for attention.

      • Sassy says:

        Doesn’t Rob have a degree from either USC or UCLA? We want to have the info straight, right, folks. Whole group is pathetic, though.

    • jwoolman says:

      How could you have missed the episode with Kourtney on the toilet? Or Khloe naked in a tub filled with allegedly her husband’s favorite candy? And then there was theirs recent vaginal secretions sniffing episode (it was a contest).

  11. Christin says:

    It is amazing that their show is still on the air, but this is a different network. She’s off her turf, so to speak.

  12. Inconceivable! says:

    I refuse to watch. Why does everyone think they can do a talk show and become the next big sensation on daytime tv? Seriously, we have so many stupid talk shows already. And if Anderson Cooper couldn’t cut it in the daytime talk show arena, I very highly doubt Kris (with the heart dotting her “I”) will make it. Shame on Fox!!

  13. Cel says:

    So Kris finally got want she wanted – her own show. I don’t watch Keeping Up but from the little I have picked up on, I always had the impression that this was Kris’s sole purpose. Hope it bombs.

    • HappyMom says:

      Yes-she’s always wanted to be famous. She’s one of those people in Hollywood on the fringe-always angling, always sucking up-and it’s taken her this many years, and pimping out her own children: but she’s finally arrived. Congrats, Kris!

  14. MsAubra says:

    y’all know that show aint gonna last no more than a week…

  15. colt13 says:

    I think it will make it. I’m saying that because I didn’t think Bethenney could be a good host, and her similar rollout went well.

    • MsAubra says:

      When and where? I know that this time around it worked out for her, but in the beginning about two years ago, she wasn’t well received

  16. Jess says:

    I hope the show will crash and burn very quickly. This woman is charmless and nobody but D-listers will want to be on her show. Surely that’s a recipe for failure? Or should I just give up on humanity’s intelligence altogether?

  17. Mandy says:

    UGGHHH!!!! She is the absolute WORST.

  18. Carolyn says:

    If one had a proper Agent/PR team and had something major to promote, going on Kris’ show would be the last thing one would do.

    I give her 3 weeks for novelty value. When viewers realise she’s awful and the show is really only another vehicle for promoting the Kartrashian Klan, they’ll jump ship in droves.

    • lucy2 says:

      This is another good point – I doubt very many legit stars are going to want to appear on this show.

  19. Mar says:

    I have never nor will I ever support this family and their mindless crap.

  20. GiGi says:

    Ugh – I know this is NOT a Joe Francis post…. but… I cannot even with this guy. And all the celebs who associate with him and go to his place in Cabo – so gross. It’s almost on the level of Polanski for me. For what reason are people like Jennifer Aniston, et al hanging out with this vile person? Says more about their character to me.

    • jwoolman says:

      The Kardashians have had him on their show. something about him doing a photo shoot of them on the beach or something like that. They love him from way back. I imagine Mama Ten Percent would want him on her “talk show”, unless he’s in jail again. Birds of a feather and all that.

  21. Flora Kitty says:

    Disick looks just as rapey as Joe Francis.

  22. Jennykins says:

    Disik looks like Steve Carell went on a bender before playing a homeless serial murderer.

  23. Nerd Alert says:

    Can someone paint me a picture of the type of person who watches this crap?

    • jwoolman says:

      I think a lot watch just to laugh at their idiocy. It’s hard not to see an amazingly large chunk of their shows without even wanting to watch, if you watch anything else on the network. They have long promos and their shows seem to be constantly rerun all hours of the day and night. Sometimes you just can’t find the remote fast enough and are subjected to way too much Kardashian. It’s really very annoying. I used to feel neutral about them, but after so much unwanted exposure, I have to suppress an uncharacteristic urge to see them all vanish from the face of the earth. I think I’m allergic.

      • Nerd Alert says:

        LOL

        Thanks, that makes me feel better! I was thinking their viewers actually found them likable…ew.

  24. Dedrie says:

    The Witch had it all under her control, beauty, power, wealth, love.. well.. no she didn’t.. and never will…

  25. moon says:

    Kris doesn’t want to manage Kim, she wants to BE Kim.

  26. kaligula says:

    what a strange, sad planet we live on.

  27. onegirlup says:

    GAH!

  28. Lisa says:

    Ew. Stop throwing money at these people.

  29. Haolebunny says:

    Slightly off topic but still…that t-shirt that Rob K is wearing..a long, long time ago I had an “I ran into Tammy Faye Bakker at the mall” t-shirt that looked shockingly similar to the one he is wearing.

  30. Norman says:

    “I’m the queen of f****** everything”, right, how is the guest lineup doing? Last I heard she could not get anybody. Kris will be on TV.hell.net long before page six comes around.

  31. Dana says:

    I’m curious as to why Lucifer’s homegirl doesn’t have anything do w/ Bruce’s children by the first Kris Jenner.

    • lisa says:

      they dont want to be on tv? that’s my first guess. or they are offended he spent more time with her spawn than with them.

  32. lisa says:

    i refuse to watch that clip at the top until someone can promise me it isnt like the ring and i will die in a wk.

  33. brainless says:

    Is it true that the middle sister, Kourtney’s son is from another dude other than Disick?
    ..Just like Kris had multiple affairs, and has three different “baby daddies” LOL.

    Sorry, but Kanye’s spawn is going to be unattractive, to put it politely.

    • jwoolman says:

      Kourtney said she hadn’t been sure who was the father way back when she got pregnant and also said she considered an abortion. . She’d had some one night stand with another guy, maybe a friend of her brother? I assumed they did testing, but maybe they never did and either Scott decided to not worry about it and accept the little guy as his own without testing or maybe it’s all been just another plotline. It’s very hard to tell what’s real and what isn’t, their stories have always been inconsistent.

  34. missiecoco says:

    gosh these people are just never going to go away are they?
