Kim didn’t shy away from addressing some of the most talked-about moments in her life, from her marriage and impending divorce to her influence and family dynamics.

Kim Kardashian’s “Saturday Night Live” Debut: A Groundbreaking Moment

Kim Kardashian’s SNL hosting gig marked a significant milestone, as she became the first Kardashian to take on the role. Despite being new to live sketch comedy, Kim reportedly spent 20 hours a day rehearsing to perfect her performance. The episode, which aired during the show’s 47th season, drew massive attention and set social media buzzing.

During her opening monologue, Kim demonstrated her signature blend of humor and self-awareness. “I’m excited to be here tonight to show you guys that I’m so much more than just a pretty face… and good hair and great makeup and amazing boobs, and a perfect butt,” she joked, adding, “Basically, I’m just so much more than that reference photo my sisters show their plastic surgeons.”

The audience erupted in laughter as Kim poked fun at herself and her famous family, signaling a willingness to take the jokes as well as dish them out. The opening set the tone for the night, with Kim exuding a level of confidence that matched her larger-than-life persona.

Kim’s Nod to Kanye: “The Best Rapper of All-Time”

One of the most talked-about moments from Kim’s monologue came when she referenced her marriage to Kanye West. “I married the best rapper of all-time,” she declared, drawing applause from the audience. Kim went on to list Kanye’s impressive achievements, noting that he’s “the richest Black man in America, a talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids.”

However, she didn’t hold back on the humor, adding a playful jab about their split: “So, when I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing… his personality.” This blend of admiration and light-hearted roasting resonated with the crowd and reminded everyone of the unique dynamic between the two stars.

Kim’s acknowledgment of Kanye’s legacy, even as they navigate divorce proceedings, struck a chord with fans. Their divorce was announced in early 2021, but moments like these continue to fuel speculation about a possible reconciliation, especially given Kim’s public appearances at Kanye’s DONDA listening events.

The Divorce Speculation and Public Appearances

Earlier in 2021, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye after nearly seven years of marriage. Since then, fans have speculated about a potential reconciliation, especially after Kim’s continued public support of Kanye. She attended several of his DONDA listening events, where she even participated in one by wearing a wedding dress. The two were also spotted having dinner at Nobu in Malibu, fueling rumors that they might be working things out.

However, Kim’s comments on SNL suggest a sense of finality to the relationship, despite the lingering hopes of fans. Her acknowledgment of Kanye’s brilliance and their co-parenting dynamic provides insight into how she’s navigating this new chapter of her life.

Family Drama in the Spotlight and The Kardashian Legacy

Beyond her romantic life, Kim’s monologue touched on the unique challenges of being a Kardashian. She joked about the influence she has as an “influencer” and even hinted at the idea of running for president, only to dismiss it by saying, “We can’t have three failed politicians in one family.” This quip referenced her step-parent, Caitlyn Jenner’s recent run for governor of California.

In addition, this was a joke from Kim about Kanye West’s 2020 run for president. It was on this campaign trail, where Kanye mentioned how he and Kim almost had an abortion. When he campaigned on anti-abortion, there were rumors Kim could possibly divorce him. Earlier this year, she did indeed file for divorce. However, she was by Kanye’s side, as he was promoting DONDA in Atlanta.

Kim’s Light-Hearted Take on Serious Topics

Throughout her monologue, Kim cleverly balanced humor with reflections on her personal and professional life. She acknowledged her work in criminal justice reform, a cause inspired by her late father, Robert Kardashian. “A real passion of mine is getting wrongly accused people out of jail,” she said, crediting her dad for opening her eyes to issues of racial injustice.

The humor returned with a joke involving O.J. Simpson, who was famously acquitted of murder in a trial where her father was part of the defense team. “It’s because of him that I met my first Black person. Want to take a stab in the dark at who it was?” she joked, expertly blending dark humor with her family’s storied past.

Kim even made a bold joke about her infamous past, referencing her 2007 sex tape with Ray J. “I haven’t had a movie premiere in a really long time… I mean, actually, I only had that one movie come out, and no one told me it was even premiering. It must have slipped my mom’s mind,” she quipped, earning laughs from the audience.

Reflecting on Her Influence and Future Aspirations

Kim concluded her monologue by acknowledging the surreal nature of being on SNL. “I’m so used to having 360 million followers watching my every move. And, I mean, how many people watch SNL? Like 10 million? So, tonight is just like a chill, intimate night for me,” she joked.

Her ability to laugh at herself while highlighting her achievements showed a side of Kim that many viewers may not have expected. The performance left a lasting impression and hinted at her potential future endeavors in entertainment.
