Despite a tumultuous year, Khloe Kardashian is launching a new talk show that premieres on Wednesday at 22:00 EST on the FYI network and is getting ready to film a new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The new series hints at what life may be like when the reality show that made the family household names ends.
Kardashian, 31, also produces a makeover show for E!, Revenge Bodies, and was seeking other opportunities when she met with veteran reality show producer Craig Piligian. He came with three ideas, one of which became Kocktails with Khloe.
"Doing the talk show wasn't something I was seeking to do," she said. "But when they came along, it was such a perfect fit, it would be silly not to take this opportunity." (Her mother, Kris Jenner, had a failed talk show.)
The idea was not to make it like a traditional talk show with a band, couch and interviews, Piligian said. "It's new and it's fresh," he said. "It's going to be really Khloe and I think it's going to shock some people."
Booze will be a social lubricant, but won't be forced upon those who don't want it.
"If you're inviting guests over for dinner, you want them all to be able to have a conversation and enjoy each other's company," she said. "It's the same setup. I want them all to get along."The initial commitment is to make eight episodes, but Kardashian is already looking beyond that.
"I'll give you guys a little appetizer with eight, and then we'll continue with the full-course meal," she said.
Khloe heads into another season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians with a lot of her mind. She halted her divorce proceedings from former NBA star Lamar Odom after he nearly died from an apparent overdose of cocaine and other drugs in a Nevada brothel in October. While she said he's recovering well, she doesn't want to say much more about it.
"There are times you wish the cameras weren't there," she said. "But it's hard to ask for privacy when you haven't been private for so many years."
