Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner is officially adding a daytime talk show host to her resume. After lengthy negotiations, Fox Television Stations and Twentieth Television announced today that Kris, a new daily one-hour talk show starring Jenner, will get a test run on select Fox-owned stations in markets, including New York and Los Angeles. The program, produced by Twentieth Television, is a pop culture driven talk show filmed in Los Angeles. It will feature celebrity guests, fashion & beauty trends; plus a mix of lifestyle topics. “This is something I have wanted to do all my life so it’s definitely a dream come true!,” said Jenner who will serve as executive producer.

“Whether offering real advice to her family or sharing personal moments with viewers, Kris is honest, compelling, entertaining, and unscripted – all excellent qualities for a daytime talk show host,” said Stephen Brown, EVP of Development & Programming, Twentieth TV. Added Frank Cicha, SVP of Programming, Fox Television Stations, “Wouldn’t be summer without at least one test, would it? In all seriousness, we go into this believing that if it works, the Kris Jenner program could really compliment what we’ve got going with Wendy, Bethenny, etc.” The six-week test run on the Fox stations has become increasingly popular as it has spawned two series to go to national syndication: Wendy Williams and Bethenny. The Kris announcement follows Twentieth TV’s renewal earlier today of freshman syndie strip Dish Nation. The company’s freshman talk show Ricki Lake is unlikely to continue next season. The highest-profile new syndicate talker on tap for next fall is Sony TV’s The Queen Latifah Show, which has been cleared in more than 90% of the country.
Life through the prism of Kris Jenner — has FOX lost its mind?
What is with the entertainment industry giving money to this family!? I can’t wait for the show to be canceled with a big toldja so in Fox’s face.
I don’t get it either! I really don’t. Geezz
Will the Kardashians ever go away?
I gave up hope of this years ago. Best to just accept the fact they are in the public eye forever and just get on with life.
The K. Family will not go away until they have nothing left to show or say and don’t get paid. The future is not looking bright.
As long as people pay attention, the Networks will see ratings and they will continue to be everywhere. I don’t have much faith people will ignore them, and I know for a fact that ET, Access Hollywood and all those other shitepile shows will continue to ram them down everyone’s throat ad nauseum.
They will go away when people stop watching.
IN what universe does this make sense? One of the most despicable women in Hollywood getting a platform? Good luck getting ANYONE with any merit to sit on THAT couch as a guest. Twentieth TV should be embarrassed getting behind such a full blown fake and awful person.
Anyone on a FOX show (the one or two non-animated that are watched by more than 10 people) will be “encouraged” to appear and anyone with a FOX feature as well, I’d imagine.
But I’m secretly hoping that the “intelligently bereft” public that FOX is banking on has finally reached their fill of all things Kardashian.
aka: “The Paris Factor”.
Public interest in the Kardashian family has been fading rapidly. The Kris Jenner Show is doomed.
Why?
The Apocalypse is upon us.
Good Lord Disick, no! On the other hand, I’d watch Kris’ deluded “I’m the 4th Kardashian sister” you go girl fashion advice over Bethenny’s “quick witted” anorexia-fueled anger and bitterness any day. Dish Nation is by far the worst show on Fox. At least TMZ is entertaining in its way…
Really well deserved! She’s earned this! Goes to show that climbing the ladder and working hard pays off! Congrats Kris K.!
This will be the most fascinating hour of television since Sarah Palin’s Alaska or Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
More fake trumped-up drama than you can possibly imagine! And precisely what America needs more of right now: a genuine, down-to-earth, caring mother who is so relatable to middle America.
No. It won’t. The woman is vapid and narcissistic and I’m not interested in hearing her spin her interests.
I feel it’s the end of the would but people keep watching this fake family and their gross behavior. Hopefully the young women who watch the KUWK show are at work and school during the day. Can’t imagine young minds and women at home during the day would want to hear from her. She’s not exactly a role model mother. This family is never gonna way but Americans keep rewarding bad behavior and semi scripted reality shows. They’re laughing all the way to the bank earning tends of millions per year. Many thought bethenny was to polarizing too…. and they thought Ricki lake would be a surer fire hit
Only one word to describe this family…..and there’s already a show w/ the same name….SHAMELESS.
It could be worse. It could be the Dina Lohan Show.
Fox is where this media whore’s talk show belongs.
it will be pre empted by the travon riots !!!!!!!!! ironic
This just makes me really depressed.
Wow… we are going to learn how to sell OUR VERY OWN SEX TAPE on Daytime TV now! Way to stay classy FOX. Kris is a money hungry fame addict. FAKE sells I guess?
I remember as a kid in the afternoon I had the pick of Mike Douglas, Merv Griffith or Dinah Shore. All had great guest who had personalities and something to say. Now you have people like Kris Jenner and Bethany Frankel, both famous in spite of having no talent, interviewing people who are there just to shill their latest project. I remember when Mike Douglas would have a co-host for a week and people would be on it just to be on it, they weren’t there to show up sell their movie and leave. They were truly the good old days!
I remember the week when John Lennon and Yoko Ono were cohosts with Mike Douglas. That was great television!
Is it because her ‘stint’ on The Insider as a guest co-host was sooooo popular? Why was she bumped then?
Why does this evil continue to be unleashed upon us…?
She did well guest hosting on The Talk… just sayin’.
The only way you can fight these mediocre non talents that get a talk shows, is to not watch it.
I watched her and Kim on QVC or some such shilling some of their God awful “designs.” Neither of them could carry the conversation and Kris just stood there most of the time.
I don’t know how they think she will carry her own show. Fact is…she won’t.
This is the most morally bankrupt, manipulative and shallow diva I have ever seen. Who cares what she thinks and has to say. Shame on Fox! You’re better than that! Kris even uses her own children to exploit her business. She has a total conflict of interest representing all of them!!
Oh my Gaga, this is a new low..congrats to Fox!
This woman is total trash and I hope Fox loses a lot of money on this. No one will watch and it will be the kiss of death for your career to be on her show.
I think all the comments so far have been sooooo mean!!!! Give the lady a break! Shes just trying to suport her family like the rest of us quit hating on her. I find the whole family very interesting, beautiful and very smart. I LOVE the K klan…….
