In her first appearance tonight on SNL, Kim Kardashian West admitted she was just as surprised as anyone by the fact that she’s wound up hosting. “When they asked, I was like, ‘Yo…
“When they asked, I was like, ‘You wantto host? Why? I haven’t had a movie premiere in a really long time,” she deadpanned in her opening monologue, presumably referencing her 2002 sex tape. “I mean, actually, I only had that one movie come out, and nobody told me it was even premiering. It must have slipped my mom’s mind.”
“Basically,” she added, “I’m just so much more than that reference photo my sisters showed their plastic surgeons.”The host later addressed the privilege in her life, noting that she has tried to “give back” as much as she can to make up for it. “A real passion of mine is trying to get wrongly-accused people out of jail…My father was and is still such an influence and inspiration to me, and I credit him with really opening up my eyes to racial injustice,” she said.
West said that while as an influencer, she understands that the things she says “carry weight,” she would “never” tell anyone what they can or can’t do. “Remember, I’m a Kim, not a Karen—and honestly, with all the K names, it’s really impressive that my mom didn’t pick Karen,” she said. “I mean, somehow, she just knew. I don’t know how she saw that one coming and not Caitlyn.”
