While appearing on Saturday Night Live, Kim Kardashian initially spoke about her journey to being a host. She was shocked when she was initially approached. The 40-year-old celebrity said she aimed to show more than her face, hair, makeup, and other things.

She paid tribute to her father by citing him as "a great influence and inspiration" in her life. She thanked him for shaping her awareness of racial injustice. She added that she started interacting with people of color only because of her father.

Kardashian spoke up about racial divisions across the US and hoped to see people come together.
