Kourtney kardashian reveals difficulties in getting show on air

By SARAH SOTOODEH FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 10:33 EDT, 15 April 2021 | Updated: 11:22 EDT, 15 April 2021 Keeping Up With The Kardashians is currently its last season after 14 years on the

air. And Kourtney Kardashian revealed that it was initially difficult to get a network to pick up their reality show.  The 41-year-old reality star said that they tried to pitch a show

following her, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and 'no one wanted it,' via People. Kourtney sat down for an interview for Emergency Contact podcast with co-hosts Simon Huck and Melissa

Gray Washington; the interview debuted Thursday. Kourtney said that Kim was contacted first by a producer about a possible show. 'This producer that met Kim had just found her really

interesting and wanted to shoot with her, so they came and Kim was like, "Can we come to the store?"' Kim, Kourtney and Khloe owned a boutique called Dash for 12 years,

expanding the location to New York and Miami in addition to the original LA location; they closed all three locations in 2018. Kourtney continued: 'They came to the store and the girl

was like, "Oh my God, you and your sisters! This is everything." So then we started trying to pitch a show, like, [about] the sisters.' Adding: 'I remember we went to E!,

we went to everything - I think no one wanted it or something.'  Afterward, a casting director came to their home for dinner and told Kris Jenner that they were going to call Ryan

Seacrest to get the show on air. 'They introduced Ryan to my mom and then we made a reel, and it just was picked up right away.' Kourtney explained. 'I think something

happened with like, Lindsay Lohan's show and they needed filler, and so they were like, "Oh, this is going to be a one-season thing."'  KUWTK is currently in their 20th

and final season; season 20 premiered on March 18 and airs every Thursday on E!.  Keeping Up With The KardashiansKhloe Kardashian
