KIM KARDASHIAN: Preps for *Saturday Night Live*

This weekend, Kim Kardashian hosts Saturday Night Live.

Kanye West is secretly helping her prep. Rehearsals start today. A backstage source told the New York Post, (quote) “Kanye is quietly advising her on her performance, opening monologue and even her costumes for the show.”

Ahead of playing host, Kim is feeling anxious. Skit comedy is way out of her league. This will be her first-time in this role rather than being mocked on the show.

Kim weaseled her way into hosting SNL with the help of Kris Jenner and a business lunch in August with producer Lorne Michaels. The celebrity blog Crazy Days and Nights reported, (quote) “Jake Gyllenhaal was all set to host but was bumped by Kim Kardashian. He did not take it well.”
