Kim Kardashian is sharing one of mom Kris Jenner’s more unusual matchmaking efforts.
The Skims cofounder, 44, opened up about an awkward blind date Kris, 69, set her up on by telling her it was a business meeting with a television executive.
“It was before we even had Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Kim set the scene during her Wednesday, September 24, appearance on The Tonight Starring Jimmy Fallon. “It was this TV executive and she told me it was a job interview, but she told him it was a date.”
The All’s Fair star recalled how Kris sent her to The Ivy restaurant in Los Angeles to meet the mystery man.
Steve Granitz/WireImage Khloé Kardashian is opening up about the brutal feedback her mom, Kris Jenner, once gave her after a date didn’t call Khloé back. “I went on a date [set up by] my mom and [celebrity trainer] Gunnar Peterson because Gunnar was training this individual,” Khloe, 40, shared in a conversation with BFFs Malika […]
“I pull up and I’m talking about, like, what I want to do. And I had a résumé on me!” Kim revealed. “I don’t think she thought I’d be so prepared to bring a résumé. Five minutes in, I realized what was up [so] I, like, put it in my purse.”
“I was like, ‘I’m gonna kill you,’” Kim shared as the camera panned to a laughing Kris and Khloé Kardashian, 41, who were watching Kim’s interview from the sidelines.
Kim continued, “I don’t think he ever knew until, like, years and years later,” referring to her blind date.
“No chemistry?” host Jimmy Fallon then asked, to which Kim responded, “No.”
You’re doing amazing, sweetie! There aren’t many women out there who can simultaneously run a family empire while remaining a bad-ass mama bear, yet somehow Kris Jenner does so — flawlessly! Whether it’s executive producing Keeping Up With the Kardashians or handling a time-pressing scandal, the reality TV star has given Us a playbook on […]
Fallon then asked Kris for her version of events, prompting an awkward moment between mother and daughter.
“He totally knew [it was a date] because he was also an Emmy award-winning producer,” Kris shared, before Kim interjected with, “Mom, can you stop?”
Kris, however, continued to share her side of the story. “I’m not gonna say his name. But he said, ‘Would it help if I brought my Emmy with me?’ He was kidding, but I thought, ‘This is never going to work.’”
“You also wanted to set me up with someone that thought an Emmy was what was going to, like, seal the deal?” Kim asked her mom incredulously as Fallon, 51, broke into hysterical laughter.
The talk show host asked Kris if she was still friends with the man in question, however, the momager played coy, responding, “I plead the Fifth.”
Kim and Kris then vowed to “talk about it later,” gently ushering the interview in a different direction.
Later, Fallon asked Kim if she’d trust Kris to set her up again. “I would trust her advice, for sure,” Kim responded.
