While the episode is just a 48-minute cliff notes version of Kim’s life, it is a nice little gist of the life she has lived until now. In Letterman’s defence, how is one supposed to reveal something new about a woman who opens her life to the world on a regular basis.
A brand new season of My Next Guest with David Letterman just dropped, and the first episode of the new season features Kim Kardashian. Right at the start of the episode, Letterman confesses that he, along with many other comedians, made fun of the Kardashians back in the day and admits, “Who is laughing now?” to which, Kim gives an all-knowing smile.
Even if you have not followed Kim Kardashian and her family on Keeping Up With The Kardashians (KUWTK), you have to be living under a rock to not know about them. How they went from being just a family who features on a reality show to participating in social change is just testament to how far they have come and this is the demeanour that Letterman goes ahead with while interviewing Kim.
During the interview, Kim Kardashian talks about the power of social media and admits that they have come a long way from the time when promoting something meant that they “had to appear on Leno or Letterman” or any other late-night talk show. This makes us think about the different planets that these two celebrities come from. David Letterman famously built a career out of interviewing celebrities and appearing on a scheduled time every single day to talk to his audience while on the other hand, Kim Kardashian has transcended from those scheduled TV appointments to being always available on everyone’s phone and doesn’t really need a middle man to sell her products or promote her many businesses. And to top it all, Kim has fans from all over the globe, thanks to the internet.
