Kim Kardashian 'In Talks' For Comedy Tour As Pete Davidson Lends A Helping Hand: 'SNL Has Given Her All The Confidence She Needs'
Bitten by the comedy bug!
Kim Kardashian is reportedly "in talks" to launch her very own comedy tour following the 41-year-old's successful Saturday Night Live hosting debut.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum brought the laughs and spared no one in the hit sketch show's opening monologue with a spicy set that joked about her A-List family, her failed marriage to Kanye West, and even her famed sex tape.
Now, it seems the hosting gig was just the confidence boost the reality star needed to launch her own career as an up and coming comedian.
"Kim is in talks to do a comedy tour. She can sell tickets live to anything, now she just needs an act," an insider spilled to The Sun. "Pete Davidson is working on it with her, and Kris Jenner is behind it. They are writing the show now. That’s why Pete’s in Palm Springs."
As OK! previously reported, the Skims founder and her new beau were spotted holding hands in Palm Springs, Calif. on Wednesday, November 17, further solidifying the rumors that the two are officially an item.

But according to the insider, this little trip is both business and pleasure as the duo are hard at work — alongside the tv personality's momager — to plan the mother-of-four's most recent business venture.
"Let’s be honest, Kim-live could sell out Madison Square Garden!" the insider dished to the outlet. "Now she just needs an act, and Saturday Night Live has given her all the confidence she needs to pull it off." They quickly added: "I knows, it sounds crazy- but ask anyone, all the money is in live performing."
As for what type of show this will be, it appears Kardashian is ready for the big-time when it comes to live comedy tours.
"It’ll be like 'an evening with Kim live' type show,” the insider spilled. "You know they are going to be selling merchandise in the lobby."
This comes soon after the reality star tried her hand at stand-up while giving a speech at longtime friend Simon Huck's pre-wedding dinner.
She peppered her toast with jokes fit for an SNL monologue when she teased at rumors surrounding her short-lived second marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries, before offering playful advice for capturing the perfect wedding photos.
The Kourtney and Kim personality concluded her message to the happy couple with heartfelt well wishes for the future, adding: "I know that this is gonna work. I know real love when I see it."
