Caitlyn Jenner Talks ‘KUWTK’ Coming to an End, Kanye’s Presidential Campaign, and New YouTube Show
As one Kardashian/Jenner chapter is closing, another one is opening. “Extra's” Billy Bush spoke with Caitlyn Jenner today about her new YouTube channel.
First, she weighed in on the news that “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” is coming to an end after 20 seasons. Jenner revealed, “It was more of a family decision. Everybody kinda got together and they made a family decision about it… It was kind of time to move on. I think everybody's done very well, entrepreneurial-wise.”
She continued, “There's no bigger social media family in the world than my family… Actually, I can sit on the couch with all the girls and you could reach a half a billion people.”
Billy commented, “Isn't that amazing?” and Caitlyn replied, “Isn't that ridiculous?”
Caitlyn is proud of them, saying, “It's been fun to watch them grow… I couldn't be more proud of everyone of 'em the way they've done it.”
Switching gears to politics, Jenner, who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, told Billy, “One thing I have learned over the last two or three years is don't talk politics… To be honest with you, I don't know which way I'm going, what I'm going to do.”
Billy asked, “Wait a minute, you're not voting for [Joe] Biden? You're not voting for Trump? You have to vote for your son-in-law-ish.”
Caitlyn replied with a smile, saying, “My son-in-law, yes. Yes, that's it. I'm voting for Kanyaaaaaaaaaye!”
Jenner also revealed to Billy that she is single. “I have never dated and probably never will… I have a lot of very good friends. Every day is filled. I've got things to do, and that's not even one of them.”
As for her YouTube channel, she explained that COVID-19 was a deciding factor in starting it. “The pandemic was so tough on me… I hated not having anything to do. Actually, I talked to Kris about it and decided… why don't I start this? And actually, it's been so much fun.”
She added, “We've been able to do a variety of things; you know, cooking shows, makeup shows, this, that. The family will be involved. They've all agreed that 'Hey, I want to do something.' So yeah, I'll have a little Kim thing, Kylie, Kendall… We've got some ideas we're going to do.”
Billy asked, “But you have to get Kris' permission, don't you?” Laughing, Caitlyn said, “I already asked. I have her blessings.”
