I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of The Kardashians—there, I said it. (Please, no angry tweets!) Their lifestyle feels worlds apart from mine. I understand the allure of watching their lives unfold on screen; reality TV offers an escape, allowing us to revel in the drama and opulence of others. Yet, the Kardashians have never really captured my interest—until now.
David Letterman’s Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, has just kicked off its third season, featuring guests like Lizzo, Robert Downey Jr., and Kim Kardashian West. Previous seasons have showcased notable figures such as Barack Obama and Tina Fey. One evening, after getting the kids to bed, I slipped into my pajamas and began browsing Netflix. That’s when I came across Letterman’s interview with Kim.
I refer to her as “Kim” as if we’re close friends, but in reality, my knowledge of the Kardashian clan is quite limited. I knew about Caitlyn and Kris’s divorce, Kim’s marriage to Kanye (who may or may not be eyeing the presidency), and the siblings’ ongoing family drama. To my surprise, this interview shattered my preconceived notions. Kim shared so much that I found myself not only entertained but also engaged.
From the outset, Kim and Dave stroll into a CVS together, looking completely at ease. Kim looks stunning, while Dave sports a scruffy, semi-retired look. They playfully pose for the security camera—if there’s a camera around, you can bet they’ll find it.
The interview takes place on a stage before a lively audience, including some of Kim’s family members and Kanye. Kim makes a grand entrance in a form-fitting canary-yellow dress, with her hair styled in a single braid. The audience is captivated from the start. David admits he used to poke fun at the Kardashians but has since changed his tune, recognizing the family’s immense success.
The conversation quickly turns serious as David delves into the family’s connection with O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson. He asks Kim her thoughts on the verdict, and she responds thoughtfully, explaining that she refrains from expressing an opinion out of respect for the children involved.
With a background in law (her father was a lawyer), Kim is currently in law school, dedicating twenty hours a week as an attorney apprentice. Her inspiration for this path came after learning about Alice Johnson, a woman serving a life sentence for a minor drug offense. Kim acknowledges that she used to be “oblivious to other people’s problems” until this point. This led her to meet with President Trump to advocate for Johnson’s pardon, which he ultimately granted. Now, she aspires to work with the White House on clemency issues.
Kim also recounts the warning she received about potentially damaging her reputation by visiting the White House. She describes herself as “extremely focused” and determined not to get sidetracked by politics, instead choosing to help others.
The interview alternates between the stage and humorous CVS segments. The two joke about what to purchase and even check their blood pressure. David is sure to grab some Old Spice, while Kim insists that candy is the best part of any trip to CVS.
They discuss family life, with Kim describing her four young children—Psalm, Chicago, Saint, and North—as “magical, wild, and fun.” The conversation shifts to Caitlyn Jenner, with Kim sharing her experience discovering Bruce dressed as a woman, leading her and her sisters to research what that meant. She praises Caitlyn for breaking barriers, acknowledging that the public scrutiny was tough but ultimately brought the family closer.
Kim also opens up about the traumatic experience of being robbed in Paris during Fashion Week. After posting about a large ring she received from Kanye, she was targeted by criminals who had been following her for two years. She recalls the terror of the situation, breaking down in tears as she shares how she feared for her life.
Throughout the interview, I learned so much about Kim. She just celebrated her fortieth birthday, owns a successful undergarment line called SKIMS, and boasts an impressive 190 million Instagram followers. Hilariously, during their CVS visit, she even teaches David how to post on his stories. Since the robbery, she’s become more cautious about her social media presence and admits that she struggles to sleep well unless her home is secured by multiple guards.
What I appreciated most was Kim’s candidness. She answered David’s questions without hesitation, presenting herself as warm and relatable rather than the cold, calculated figure I had imagined. She described herself as “mentally strong,” expressing gratitude for her family’s well-being.
Overall, this interview was refreshingly honest, and I’m looking forward to more episodes of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman.
