1. The story that Kris Jenner marched into Ryan Seacrest’s office and pitched the show is true – and her decision to do so came about after numerous people told her that her family was so “crazy” they warranted a reality show.
2. But Kris is one well-connected lady – the meeting came about only because she remained friends with the casting director of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here after Caitlyn had appeared on the show. She knew Ryan and put Kris in touch.
3. However, Kris had no preparation time and admits that she actually just “winged” her pitch. It worked – and the next day, E! commissioned the show.
4. Amazingly, though, Kris hadn’t run any of this past her family before the deal was agreed. In fact, she arranged a family dinner in order to tell them that they were all going to be starring in the show.

6. Kourtney, however, was against being in the show from the beginning – mainly because her relationship with Scott was in its infancy. But, she “took one for the team” and agreed to be involved.

Quote:
8. Similarly, Kylie, who was just 9 when the show was commissioned, has spoken numerous times about not wanting to be famous. In fact, in the latest season of KUWTK, Kylie admitted to Kim and Kourtney that she “really feels deep down inside” that she isn’t “supposed to be famous.”
9. The name of the show wasn’t decided until it was dangerously close to its premiere. On one particularly stressful day of filming, in which all the girls were in different locations, an executive producer literally said the words: “I’m sorry I’m late. I’m just having a really hard time keeping up with the Kardashians.” And a name was born.
10. Fittingly, the very first scene in the first episode is a family discussion about Kim’s butt.
11. The first episode also caused uproar, for featuring a 10 year-old Kylie pole dancing in her parents’ bedroom.

14. In fact, the one and only time that taping has ceased during scheduled filming was during Lamar Odom’s hospitalisation after his near-fatal overdose. The cameras stopped rolling for a week until he recovered and was air-lifted back to a hospital in LA.
|
Quote:
17. Since the show first aired, E! has broadcast over 200,000 total minutes of KUWTK.
18. And enough footage has been captured to show the programme for over 150 days, nonstop.

21. The family also have cameras fitted in their cars to capture conversations that occur when they’re not with a film crew.

Quote:
23. The show has been plagued by “fakery” rumours since the very beginning, but perhaps the most damning claims emerged in 2013, in a deposition given by Russell Jay, one of the executive producers on KUWTK, as part of Kim and Kris Humphries’ divorce proceedings.
24. He testified under oath, saying that at least two scenes starring Kris were “scripted, reshot, or edited.”
25. He also claimed that Kim was aware of the “surprise” scene in which Kris Humphries proposed to her in her bedroom, and that it was reshot because she wasn’t happy with her reaction in the first take.

31. Kim revealed that they used houses other than their own for security purposes.
|
Quote:
33. The show has had the same production staff since the beginning. In fact, the only thing that’s changed is that Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé became executive producers in Season 10.
34. Before that, Kris was the only family member who could review every piece of footage with herself in it – and had the power to get rid of anything she didn’t like.
35. Kris Jenner made the trademark whistle from the show’s theme tune the sound for the doorbell at her home.
|
Quote:
44. An early review of the first episode was scathing, suggesting that the family had already exhausted their material for storylines: “Perhaps inevitably, the show exhausts most of its cache during the premiere, when Kim frets about appearing on Tyra Banks’ daytime show and how they’ll couch the conversation regarding her infamous (and widely available online!) videotaped frolic with rapper Ray J.”
45. It went on to say that the show was a “whim” and the public would quickly reject the family: “Exec producer Ryan Seacrest is tethered to E! in a big way, so it’s understandable the channel would indulge his shallow whims. Fortunately, while they do, the rest of us don’t have to, making it pretty easy to say: ‘Seacrest – and the Kardashians – out!’”

46. However, as you read this, the family are filming the 13th season of the show – and next year, KUTWK will have been on air for an entire decade.

This makes me feel kinda bad for Kylie, not gonna lie. She's probably changed her appearance so drastically so young bc she's grown up in this fame, self absorbed world that her mother forced her into at such a young age.

feel bad for Kylie tbh...
I think she doesn't even want the life she has. She probably feels like she has to conform to these western standards of beauty like her ass, lips and all have to be turned into these proportions because she's part of the Kardashian clan...
Like, Kylie sis... You know you can always back out and live your life normally the way you wanted it to be...
tbh I could see Kylie living a normal life and seperating herself from the Kardashian image + removing all of that fake **** on her body...

The show was so much better in the early seasons when it was campy and scripted. Now it's flat out boring and you can tell they try so hard to reach for useless drama.

It's not like she forced them into it  She may have pitched it without telling them first but the show obviously wouldn't have gone ahead if they didn't get everyone on board.

I've never watched a full episode of the show, but I give them Kudos for being able to have it last so long.

I'm remember the first episode was them reenacting the night Khloe got arrested for DUI and that's the last time I watched this scripted reality BS.
