If there’s anything to be learned from history, it’s that even the greatest dynasties always fall eventually. But Kris Jenner will be damned if it’s the Kardashians time to go just yet.
According to TMZ, the Kardashian family ‘momajer’ has been shopping around a pitch for a cartoon TV show based on the family, like The Simpsons or Family Guy. Apparently the show would have characters based on the whole family (except Caitlin Jenner) and have a target audience of adults, not kids.
Jenner reportedly presented the idea to The Weinstein Company, which is behind some major recent movie releases including Lion and Gold.
It’s not surprising Kris is trying to think of ways to solidify the Kardashian legacy for long after her daughters grow tired of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. We’re willing to bet at least one family member has approached Kris about getting out: on the show, Khloe and Kourtney especially don’t seem as enthusiastic as they once did. But a cartoon version of the family? Would anyone really watch it?
Some probably scoffed when Kim Kardashian launched a mobile gaming app about herself, but in 2015 it netted an astounding USD $80 million in revenue. For a family that doesn’t have much to lose as public interest in them surely nears saturation point, a savvy and admittedly very successful businesswoman like Kris knows it’s better to try, fail fast if and move on to the next endeavour with a lesson or two learned if it doesn’t work out.
The next project possibly being a dating show about her son Rob Kardashian following his split from the mother of his child, Blac Chyna, according to InTouch Weekly.
“[Kris] is in talks with execs about getting Rob his own dating show called Rob’s Romance,” a source said.
“It’s going to have a similar vibe to The Bachelor. He’ll wine and dine some of the girls at fancy celebrity hangouts, but he’ll take others to fast-food restaurants.
“Kris wants to make sure Rob meets someone who loves him for him,” the source added.
