Kim Kardashian is set to host an upcoming episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, and Debra Messing is not happy about it.
The Will & Grace actress thinks such opportunity should only be reserved for entertainers with talent and something to promote.
The 53-year-old mother of one, who is never afraid to share some of her controversial opinions on social media, wrote on Twitter: “Why Kim Kardashian? I mean, I know she is a cultural icon, but SNL has hosts, generally, who are performers who are there to promote a film, TV Show, or album launch. Am I missing something?”
Kardashian is not hosting the October 2 season premiere of the legendary show. This honor will go to actor Owen Wilson.
The reality TV icon will make her big debut on October 9 with ” Without Me” singer Halsey as the musical guest.
Kanye West‘s estranged wife was ecstatic and celebrated the news on social media. The mom of four shared a picture on Twitter confirming the information.
The following caption accompanied the image: “OMFG, no turning back now!!!! LOL.” Messing, who has never hosted or appeared on SNL, was applauded for her blunt assessment.
The Kardashians are often seen as lacking talent, but their backers say that it is impossible to accomplish so much in this current environment without a special kind of gift.
Moreover, the clan is getting ready to launch their new program with Hulu, months after the end of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. This could explain why the family has been more present in traditional media recently.
Thursday, Kardashian posted an image on her Instagram stories suggesting that production has already begun on the new content for Hulu. However, it is not clear when fans will be able to see the final product.
A few commenters blasted the actress for being envious, while others pointed out that SNL, like any other show, is just looking for ratings.
Donald Trump, a media personality, hosted the sketch show before becoming president. Kardashian, who has a hard time skipping controversy at the moment, is accused of copying a photoshoot featuring model Draya Michele for a SKIMS promo campaign with sister Kourtney Kardashian and actress Megan Fox.
Kristen Noel Crawley, a former friend of Kardashian, is the one who first commented on the photo drama, and she made her feelings clear with this interesting caption: “Black women are always the blueprint. And don’t you forget it.”
Kardashian has not reacted to the two controversies and is focused on pushing her brand.
