Introduction to the Alec Baldwin - Kim Kardashian TV  Show Interview

I usually review movies,  television shows or special events.  However, I decided to review this television interview show for a change.  Interesting enough, the content of the interview was a little surprising to me -- as it may be for you too -- if you saw the interview.  One of the surprises to me was that it was not overly promotional -- even though the fact that Kim Kardashian is on this show is probably publicity enough. Of course there is controversy involving her husband and maybe even herself. However, my tv show review is only about the information that was discussed during the interview.

Kim Kardashian Interview TV Show Range of Topics

As you probably know, Kim Kardashian has been in the public eye for quite some time now.  There was no loss for content for Kim Kardashian on Alec Baldwin’s interview tv show. Topics ranged from the Paris robbery, to her husband, as well as her family life.  Alec Baldwin was considerate in requesting if he could ask certain questions -- before he actually did. In other words, there were no surprise questions or anything that would probably cause her to regret coming on the show.  

I was surprised to hear her say that Alec Baldwin could ask her anything he wanted to know.  In other words -- nothing was off limits, including her step-father’s transition to Caitlyn, as well as the actions of her husband.

That being said, I’m sure she was given a “cheat sheet” before the interview so that she would not be broadsided with unexpected questions.  For example, Alec Baldwin did not ask about her prior short-lived marriage, and instead stated that multiple marriages is an attempt to get it right -- and is not a sign of failure. He gave the impression he was talking about his marriages instead of hers.

GIst of the Questions from Alec Baldwin - Kim Kardashian TV Show Interview

Some of Alec Baldwin’s questions centered around the robbery she experienced in Paris.  She stated that since that time, she has made some changes -- especially about letting people know her whereabouts etc.

She also got a chance to talk about her role in freeing a person from a life-sentence in prison-- which she thought the punishment was to the excess.

In this era of the #Metoo movement, I was a little surprised when Alec Baldwin said something to the effect that Kim Kardashian could “charm” just about any man during her discussion of how she met her husband.  Kim Kardashian simply overlooked this statement, so I’m not sure how she took it.

Also not mentioned was the infamous tape that some said helped propel Kim Kardashian to fame.  Instead, Alec Baldwin credits her reality show for helping make the Kardashian a household word -- which she did not dispute during the interview.  She was silent -- which can probably be interpreted as agreement to what was said.

Some interesting questions that Alec Baldwin asked was whether or not she would date an ordinary person -- other than the likes of her husband -- which she replied in the affirmative.  Also she was asked about her childhood, which she had nothing negative to say.

In my opinion, she never gave a definitive response to why she is staying in California. Her response was that initially the family lived in Beverly Hills, then moved to Calabasas at a time when hardly anyone else was living there.  Not a finite answer -- but nonetheless, she did sort of answer the question.

Assessment of the Alec Baldwin - Kim Kardashian TV Show Interview

I think this show focused on the positive.  I also think the lessons Kim Kardashian learned about the value of her privacy can be taken into account by others -- especially when it comes to being on social media as well as what to divulge about your information, including your whereabouts.

Personally, I noted a sense of maturity about her as she answered the questions. However, even though she said that she is not as focused on the “money” side of the business as she was when she first got started --personally, I have my reservations.  Otherwise -- why would the complete hour be devoted to Kim Kardashian instead of 30 minutes -- as it was last week when Robert De Niro and Taraji P. Henson were guests. Their interview was about 30 minutes each while Kim Kardashian was given the complete hour.

After the show ended -- I didn’t feel as if I found out anything really new about Kim Kardashian -- except for her emphasis on privacy since the robbery. Just about everything else was pretty much public knowledge. But as I said earlier -- the tv show had a positive vibe -- which is always a plus for me.
