Her family added another win when the first episode of their new reality series The Kardashians became Hulu’s most watched premiere in the US.
And Kim Kardashian looked like she’d wrap up those odds with a guest star when Amy Schumer stopped by in Thursday’s upcoming episode.
The reality TV icon, 41, and the comedian, 40, shared a laugh as Kim went through a draft of her Saturday Night Live monologue, though Amy seemed keen to spice it up.
Workshop jokes: Kim Kardashian, 41, sat down with Amy Schumer to work on her SNL monologue in a clip from Thursday’s upcoming episode of The Kardashians. The two chatted about their almost 20-year-old sex tape
Kim opens the sitting clip by going over what she already had for the opening of her monologue.
“Hey guys, it’s so exciting to be here and hosting Saturday Night Live. I know I’m surprised to see myself too,” she said, with a much more rushed delivery than on her big night.
“When they asked, I was like, ‘You want me to host? Why? I haven’t had a movie premiere in a long time.” Actually, I only had that one movie come out and nobody told me it was premiered,” she joked.
“It must have escaped my mother’s notice,” Kim added as a kicker.
“Wait, what was the movie?” interjected Amy with a straight face.

Self-deprecating: “When they asked, I said, ‘You want me to moderate? Why? I haven’t had a movie premiere in a long time.” Actually, I only had that one movie come out and nobody told me it was premiered,” she joked. “It must have escaped my mother’s notice”
Oops! “Wait, what was the movie?” interjected Amy with a straight face. “My sex tape,” Kim replied
“My sex tape,” Kim replied.
“Thanks, great,” said the “Trainwreck” star, breaking out with a smile.
The Kardashians premiere began with scenes discussing Kim’s 2003 sextape with Ray J, mirroring the 2007 premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, although this time it only addressed rumors that additional footage from that tape would be released could.
“The joke on the internet was that my mother had to [have released it] – She’s my manager, she had to mediate,” Kim explained to her funny friend. “And there’s a lot of sex tape drama now that people say maybe there’s a little bit more from 20 years ago.”
Amy came prepared with the perfect joke in response.
“Is there a part of you that’s like, ‘Let’s get this out there because it’s probably going to be pretty hot?'” she asked, which made Kim laugh at the end of the clip.
Is there more to come? Kim explained that there were rumors that there was unreleased footage from her 2003 sex tape with Ray J that might be released
Just own it: “Is there a part of you that says, ‘Let’s get this out there because it’s probably pretty hot?'” Amy asked, which made Kim laugh at the end of the clip
The rest was history, as Kim would later host an episode of SNL that garnered fairly strong reviews and helped boost the ratings of the iconic sketch comedy series.
It also marked her acquaintance with comedian Pete Davidson, who shared a kiss with her during a sketch parodying Disney’s Aladdin.
The two would start a relationship shortly after taping, and their relationship seems stronger than ever.
The latest episode of The Kardashians is available to watch from 12:00 p.m. PT/3:00 p.m. ET.
