Kim Kardashian said Caitlyn Jenner's transition was 'gold' for their reality show.

Kardashian admitted she feels way more "pressure" when reading off a script, as either "you can act, or you're a bad actress."

Meanwhile, on reality shows, viewers are judging you "for who you are," not your skills.

The SKIMS founder also brought up the pros and cons of filming her entire life, as when things are going good, fans are "pissed" because things are "calm."

Kardashian pointed to Jenner's decision to transition in front of the spotlight and what it did for Keeping Up With the Kardashians, quipping, "It’s like, what happened to the days when your stepdad turns into a woman? That was TV gold."

And at that time, Caitlyn wasn't very open with us about her transition and just kind of came out with it. So we had lots of different mixed emotions."
