Kris Jenner’s daytime talk show, Kris, won’t be getting picked up by FOX for a second run.
According to Radar Online:
The mother-of-six turned manager was recently told, “There is no chance the talk show is going to get a green light from FOX. The ratings were averaging an abysmal 0.8 and advertisers were less than enthusiastic about it.”
“Kris did get a ratings bump for her last show when Kanye West revealed the first baby pic of daughter, North West, with Kim, but that was a one time shot in the arm and it wouldn’t be indicative of what the ratings trend would be,” the source close to the production told RadarOnline.com.
“It’s a very crowded market and Kris didn’t do anything to set herself apart from the field. Believe it or not, most of America doesn’t want to hear about the Kardashian’s for an hour everyday,” the source revealed.
FOX’s panel-format talk show The Real — which, like Kris, launched its test run on July 15 — is “expected to be picked up” after it edged out Kris in the key female demographics.
FOX isn’t expected to make a formal announcement for a few weeks, out of respect to current situation engulfing the family ‹ the marital crisis of Khloe Kardashian and husband Lamar Odom.
“It will be announced in a low key fashion, probably on a Friday afternoon so it won’t generate a ton of negative press for Kris,” the insider added.
The talk show market is super competitive. Hopefully Kris enjoyed her time on air as much as we did!
UPDATE:
Kris Jenner took to Twitter to deny the rumors.
{RT!} Rumors flying are false but glad everyone is still buzzing about our 6 week summer run!!!!
