NETWORK EUROPE ON HOW DID THE
KARDASHIANS IN YOUR MIND REALLY
TRANSFORM THE GENRE
AND ALSO MORE IMPORTANTLY HAVE
THE STAYING POWER TO STAY AS
BIG AS THEY WERE.
>> WELL A POP CULTURE EXPERT
AND A
PURVEYOR OF ENTERTAINMENT WHAT
I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THEIR CARD
ASHES IS IT'S DEFINITELY A
LEGACY WHETHER YOU LOVE THEM OR
HATE THEM THEY HAVE DEFINITELY
LEFT AN IMPRINT.
ON A WHOLE GENERATION FOR A
DECADE AND A HALF AND THAT'S A
LONG
TIME BEING.
>> A LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN YOU
YOU KNOW, I'M USED TO THE WHOLE
SOAP OPERAS JOB.
>> HOWEVER, THE CARD ASHES
REDEFINED WHAT SOAP OPERAS AND
PRIME TIME
DRAMA IS BY LIKE OPENING UP THE
DOORS AND EXPOSING THEIR
VULNERABILITY AND THEIR
FAMILY SECRETS AND THEY'RE ALSO
FASHION AMONGST FAMILIES A
GENERATION AND THEY HAVE
DEFINITELY LEFT
AN IMPRINT. ONE OF THE THINGS
ABOUT THE CAR DASH INS
THE SHOW REALLY DEFINED AS THE
WHOLE IDEA OF INFLUENCE OR SO
NOT ONLY THAT THEY HAVE
A SUCCESSFUL PRIME TIME CABLE
TELEVISION SHOW
THEY ALSO BECAME THEY WERE
REALLY THE 4 RUNNERS IN THE
WHOLE INSTAGRAM
LIFESTYLE INFLUENCER AND THEY
WERE THE FIRST TO REALLY BRING
THE
AS WELL OF ENDORSEMENTS INTO
THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM WHICH
I DEFINITELY CREDIT THEM
MAKING A A A PATHWAY IN FACT AT
THE TIME YOU KNOW WE'RE ONLY
USE
ATHLETES
MOVIE STARS BEING THAT TYPE
ADVERTISING ENDORSER ON SOCIAL
MEDIA, BUT THE CAR DASH INS
BROKE IT INTO REALITY
TELEVISION WHICH AT THAT I WAS
SOMETHING WE HADN'T SEEN.
AND NOW YOU KNOW THEY'VE GOT
THEIR NAME.
ON SO MANY DIFFERENT THAT WE
CAN ALL CONSUME AND SHOP AND
BUY. ONLINE
IF LEE.
>> WELL LET'S TALK ABOUT LET'S
TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT
BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT
WITH SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE FACT
THAT THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF
FOLLOWERS ON ALL OF THEIR
SOCIAL PLATFORMS. IN FACT, THE
FORBES NOW ESSENTIALLY SAYING
BOTH KYLIE AND KIM ARE
ESSENTIALLY BILLIONAIRES HERE.
WHAT'S THE SECRET SAUCE HERE
WHY IS IT THAT KYLIE'S LIP KIT
SELLS OUT IN 2 SECONDS WHY IS
IT THAT KIM KARDASHIAN'S SKIMS
PRODUCTS SELL OUT IN SECONDS AS
WELL WHAT'S THE SECRET SAUCE
HERE.
>> AND NOT ONLY THAT IS IT'S
NOT ONLY JUST A SECRET SAUCE,
IT'S A VERY COVETED SPOT IN A
AS SOMEONE I WORK YOU KNOW I
WORK WITH EXPERTS AND
BUSINESSES IN TERMS OF BRANDING
AND TO GET
AN ENDORSEMENT FROM A CAR DASH
AND YET A CHLOE KIM KARDASHIAN
IT ANY OF THE GENERAL GIRLS.
>> IS AS IS A IT'S
A IT'S THE STAMP OF APPROVAL
THAT REMEMBER OPRAH WINFREY'S
TO GIVE A HOOT TALK SHOW AND
SHE'S TO DO THE BOOK CLUB SO
OVER HELD UP A BOOK
THAT SHE DEEMED IN HER BOOK
CLUB THAT BOOK WAS INSTANTLY
GOING TO BE IN NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER HIT OUR
NUMBER ONE AND THE CAR DASH INS
DID THAT IN THIS PLOT
IN THIS IN THIS GENRE WHICH WAS
REALITY TELEVISION CABLE
REALITY TELEVISION, BUT THEY
ALSO BROKE IT REALLY OUT INTO
THE SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY THEY
WERE THE REALLY THE FIRST TO
FIGURE OUT THE ALCHEMY OF
MONETIZING SOCIALLY MEDIA AS A
CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT. SPOT
AND PLACE AND THEY WERE NEVER
LEFT US AND ENTERTAINED WITH
THEIR DRAMA.
>> NO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
BECAUSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
LIKE THEIR WEDDINGS THEIR BIRTH
ANNOUNCEMENTS ANY SORT OF THING
THAT WAS HAPPENING WITHIN
THE FAMILY THAT WOULD BE ALL
THE MAGAZINES THAT WOULD BE IN
THE TOP STORY ON YOU KNOW THE
NEWS ALL THAT OTHER STUFF WHY
IS IT THAT WE JUST BECAME SO
ENGROSSED WITH EVERYTHING THAT
WAS HAPPENING WITHIN THE FAMILY
CULTURE.
>> WELL, WHETHER AMERICANS
LIKED IT OR NOT WE
WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE
MARRIAGES AND THE BIRTH OF THE
CAR DASH INS WE WENT THROUGH WE
WENT TO
KRIS JENNER. BRUCE JENNER'S YOU
KNOW MARITAL BREAKUP, WE WENT 3
HIS CHANGE. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS
ALWAYS A CENTRAL THEME ON THE
SHOW. BUT IT WAS OFF OBVIOUSLY
AN IMPACT FULL STORY LINE I
HATE TO USE THE WORD STORYLINE
BECAUSE THIS IS YOU KNOW
PEOPLE'S LIVES, BUT ALSO AS WE
KNOW IN UNSCRIPTED TELEVISION
IS ALSO IT'S LOOSELY YOU KNOW
YOU KNOW THAT THAT WAS
>> WE WERE WE WERE FASTENED SO
WHETHER WE WANTED TO OR NOT WE
WENT ALONG WITH IT.
>> CAR JOURNEY AND CHANGES
AND THE SEASON FINALE CERTAINLY
REPRESENTED THAT TOO AS
YOU CAN THE AND SCRIPTED
SCRIPTED PERSPECTIVE. THEY
TRIED THAT HIGH UP ALL THE BIG
LOOSE ENDS OF THE FAMILY MOST
THE RELATIONAL
AND IRONICALLY, YOU KNOW IT WAS
IT WAS A SHOW PRIMARILY FOCUSED
AROUND THE
RELATIONSHIPS COMPLEX.
SOMETIMES SOMETIMES YOU KNOW
THEY THEY TRIED TO BE PERFECTLY
IMPERFECT IN THERE VERY KIND OF
PERFECT WORLD
IF YOU.
>> WE WE SHOULD NOTE THIS SHOW
ENDING ON IS NOT THE END OF THE
KARDASHIANS BY ANY STRETCH OF
THE IMAGINATION. THEY'RE TAKING
THEIR SHOW
TO HULU BUT IN MANY WAYS THEY
STILL HAVE EVEN MORE STAYING
POWER ME THINK KIM KARDASHIAN
IS IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING
HER
LAW DEGREE SHE WANTS YOU MAY BE
POTENTIALLY TO BECOME YOU KNOW
WORK IN POLITICS DOWN THE ROAD
YOU MENTION CAITLYN JENNER
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF
CALIFORNIA AS WELL. SO HOW
MUCH LONGER DO YOU THINK THE
STAYING POWER THIS FAMILY HAS
LIKE HOW MUCH MORE OF OUR LIVES
AND THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
TO TAKE UP.
>> WELL I THINK WHAT'S REALLY
INTERESTING AS WE WATCH THEM
INCUBATE AS A FAMILY AND REALLY
GROW UP I REMEMBER WHEN AND
KYLE, YOU KNOW WAS WHAT THEY
WERE
SO YOUNG WHEN THEY WERE YOU
KNOW THEY WERE JUST YOUNG
TEENAGERS NOW THEIR THEIR THEIR
OWN BILLIONAIRES
AS WELL. I THINK THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO YOU KNOW THEY'LL
CONTINUE ON I THINK THEY'RE
THEY BECOME THEIR OWN
INDIVIDUAL EMPIRES SO THEY
DON'T NEED TO STAY BONDED
TOGETHER ENOUGH FORMAT OF THE
SHOW IF THEY ARE NOW
THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL YOU KNOW
BRANDING EMPIRES AND THEN
THEY'RE GOING TO CREATE
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO I
PERSONALLY WILL BE MORE
INTERESTED IN THIS CHAPTER OF
THEIR GOING FORWARD
IF THEY PLAN TO TAKE OUT SOME
OF THEIR ADVOCACY AND YOU KNOW
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
WHERE THEY ARE YOU KNOW WE'RE
FOCUSED ON HELPING PEOPLE WHO
ARE SUFFERING THAN JUST YOU
KNOW DOING A SHOW AROUND THEIR
OWN SUFFERING WHICH YOU KNOW IT
JUST KIND OF WHAT WE WE WILL
ENJOY BEING ENTERTAINED BY.
>> RIGHT I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THE REUNION. I'M GLAD ANDY
COHEN IS GOING TO BE DOING
BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S
