Khloe Kardashian Out as X-Factor Host: REPORT
It seemed like the gig of a lifetime for Khloe Kardashian who ventured to foray outside of reality TV world, but reports on Monday signal that it is the end for her as a host on X-Factor.
A source told The New York Post that Kardashian was not asked back for another season. The 28-year-old is the latest casualty of the ever-revamped show. Britney Spears was also given the ax after she failed to boost viewership. Epic records label chief, L.A. Reid also quit from his judging spot on the show to return to his job managing artists full time. Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato are the only judges remaining.
Ratings are a big thing for the FOX network singing competition, as it lags behind shows with similar formats like American Idol and The Voice.
Kardashian was brought on with no prior TV hosting experience. In her quest for the gig she beat out a number of other talented candidates including John Legend’s fiance Chrissy Teigen.
In a recent interview with E! News, Kardashian told the network that she had hopes to return to the show.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashian’s star hosted the show alongside Mario Lopez who will be returning for another season, according to reports.
Throughout her hosting stint on X-Factor, she was constantly judged for not appearing as natural as her co-host Lopez and often appeared nervous on the stage.
Kardashian has other ventures to keep herself busy. The popular family began filming the 8th season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians last month which will focus on Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy.
