Kris Jenner Show Canceled? 'No Chance' of Renewal, Says Report
Kris Jenner's talk show has reportedly been canceled after just one season due to poor ratings, sources claim.
"Kris," which was broadcast on select Fox stations across the US, first premiered on July 15, 2013. Jenner, 57, received a six-week trial run, but reports claim the show struggled with ratings despite the Kardashian matriarch featuring a number of high-profile guests on the show.
"There is no chance the talk show is going to get a green light from FOX. The ratings were averaging an abysmal 0.8 and advertisers were less than enthusiastic about it," a source told RadarOnline.com.

Rapper Kanye West, sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian, as well as radio host Ryan Seacrest were among various Hollywood celebrities who made appearances on Jenner's talk show in an attempt to help the mother of six boost the show's ratings. While West's appearance reportedly brought in a high number of viewers, Fox producers ultimately decided against renewing the show.
"Kris did get a ratings bump for her last show when Kanye West revealed the first baby pic of daughter, North West, with Kim, but that was a one time shot in the arm and it wouldn't be indicative of what the ratings trend would be," the source close to the production said.
Critics claim Jenner, who is no stranger to the camera, often appeared to be nervous and uncomfortable while hosting the daily 1-hour show. The insider claims that ultimately she failed to make the show stand out in what is said to be a very saturated market.
"It's a very crowded market and Kris didn't do anything to set herself apart from the field. Believe it or not, most of America doesn't want to hear about the Kardashians for an hour everyday," the source said.
Out of respect for Jenner, the Fox network will reportedly hold off making any cancellation announcements due to ongoing issues surrounding her family. Her daughter Khloe, 29, is rumored to have separated from her husband, Lamar Odom, in recent days.
"It will be announced in a low key fashion, probably on a Friday afternoon so it won't generate a ton of negative press for Kris," the source said.
