5 Surprising 'KUWTK' Show Secrets Revealed
It’s hard to believe the Kardashian/Jenner family was officially introduced to fans 10 years ago [...]
The Show's Original Name
What would the Kardashian family be without the title Keeping Up With the Kardashians?
Well, it turns out their show was originally going to be called The Kardashians: Krazy With a K. After the cable network picked up their series, the family went straight into filming, without a title set in stone.
The executives were struggling to find a catchy name for the show. According to Damla Dogan, the senior vice-president of development and programming at E!, "We were up against an airdate and didn't have a title we loved."
Another option was Living Kardashian.
