Kim Kardashian is giving due credit where it's deserved. Reflecting on the incredible 20-season run of their family reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the actress from All's Fair pointed to Caitlyn Jenner's 2015 transition as a major catalyst for the series's continued success in its later years. "We shot the pilot and had no idea what it would turn into, but 20 years on, it's still going," Kim shared on The Graham Norton Show on October 24. "The shows write themselves. Once, when we wondered what might happen next, my stepdad turned into a woman, and there were two more seasons right there!"
This isn't the first time Kim has reflected on this pivotal moment for her family recently. When asked by Alex Cooper to name "the hardest thing that you all had to go through publicly" as a family, Kim mentioned her stepdad's transition. "I think my mom didn't know how to handle it," she said on Call Her Daddy on October 15. "Imagine Kendall and Kylie losing their father in their minds. And at that time, Caitlyn wasn't very open with us about her transition and just kind of came out with it. So we had lots of different mixed emotions."
The Kardashians star went on to note that she and the rest of her family were unsure about how to navigate this new territory, especially when it was played out so publicly. "I know Khloe was super emotional and upset about it," Kim recounted. "We're learning this all for the first time and then we want to be supportive for our little sisters, trying to be supportive for my mom who's now getting a divorce and making sure we don't say anything super offensive or even asking questions like, 'What does this mean and what is this term and what is this?'" "We didn't really know anything," she added, "so we just had to kind of figure it out and we did it all on camera."
