Kris Jenner Glad Khloé Kardashian Will Likely Host 'X Factor'

FameFlynet

Khloe is Simon Cowell’s number one choice to host the new season of ‘The X Factor’ and momager Kris couldn’t be happier. She knows this would elevate Khloe’s visibility worldwide and make her an even bigger star than she already is.

Kris Jenner has been pushing for Khloe Kardashian to be the host of the new season of The X Factor since day one. A friend of the Kardashian family tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, “Kris is over the moon that Khloe is the front-runner to host The X Factor. She knows that Khloe has what it takes and is just thrilled.” HollywoodLife.com has all the EXCLUSIVE details about how Kris feels about Khloe’s potential new job.

“It was Kris’ idea in the first place to have Khloe audition to be a host on The X Factor, ” the friend said. “Khloe has always wanted to be a talk-show host and Kris thinks that hosting The X Factor would be the perfect platform.”

As we’ve previously reported, Khloe and Kris were even thinking about co-hosting a talk-show together. Kris thinks Khloe has amazing interviewing skills and she can get plenty of experience as a host on The X Factor.

“Kris knows that if Khloe gets the job, her popularity will burst and she will become a bigger name than she already is,” the friend said.” “Kris is also ecstatic because this would mean that Khloe and the rest of the Kardashians would get to hob nob with all the big stars like Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell and all the other famous people who come on the show. And most importantly, Kris wants to include all the behind-the-scenes footage on a spin-off reality show about Khloe’s glamorous life!”

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ that “Khloe is definitely #1 among the women who tried out and is generally considered the best in the entire pack of host wannabes. Khloe did a screen test that went over well.”

According to the report, Simon believes Khloe makes the most sense in terms of audience draw, since they’ve already invested heavily in Britney and Demi to attract young viewers.

The host won’t appear on the show until next month when it goes live and as we’ve previously reported, Simon wants one male and one female host to share hosting duties. We wonder who’s on the list with Khloe!

Do you want Khloe to host The X Factor, HollywoodLifers?

I think she would be great. Out of all them, she seems to be the most down to earth and honest. She seems approachable and very in-tune to what is going on. She also worked with her father in the entertainment business so she has a head start. I have always been Team Khloe!!! Go get it girl!

I think Khloe will end up being a really good host on The X Factor. She seems to be a hard worker and she is obviously more grounded than the other Kardashians. The big thing my officemates at Dish and I don’t like is having a non-singer like Britney judging other peoples singing talent. I still want to watch the premier anyway but it’s on at the same time as The Voice so I turned on Prime Time Anytime on my Hopper so I can watch both. It automatically records all the prime time shows on the four major networks for me every night. I’m excited to see all the new contestants this season since I thought last season had some great artists.

I like Khloe and she is very honest and outspoken. She will do great if she is a host.

Wait a minute, I thought Khloe wanted to stay by Lamar’s side and devote her time to him and work on having a baby which is why they stopped filming her and Lamar’s show. Now she wants to host X-factor?

Lamar’s season has started he is in training camp and xfactor is filmed in LA so she is home every night. She is entitled to a job she doesn’t have to stay home waiting on him to be supportive of him!

I really liked this show too! I will definitely NOT be watching any longer if this b*tch is hosting it. I’m so disgusted this family is getting their noses in on everything…

KJ is “over the moon” yup because its more 10% for her!!!!
I like Khloe she will be great as a host. is she can keep her family away that is, can’t you see them all sitting in the audience cheering her on, like she is a contestant ??

What — so we can watch Khloe stand there on the stage for x number of minutes and play with her hair the whole time? No thanks. Get that enough on the E! Network shows she’s on. So irritating. I would much rather watch Kris Jenner do the hosting. She has the poise and spark and humor and personality to best entertain us. Plus the fact that she’s much better looking.

i like Khole more than Kim and i hate Kris………she is beautiful and i’m sure she will do a great job hosting x-factor………..you can do it Khole, break a leg..!!!!!!!

What a Croc…how do you think these girls became so popular? Kris has pushed these girls to be all they can be. You are nothing without a good mother. Shame on you!
