Our first guest on The Ellen Degeneres Show was none other than the popular fashion supermodel, Kendall Jenner. Known for being a member of one of the most famous families in America, Kendall graced the show with her presence and shared some fascinating details about her life. Kendall recently celebrated her 24th birthday in a unique way. She rented out a racetrack in Palm Springs and invited all her friends to join in on the fun. Kendall has always been a big fan of cars and sports, so drifting on the racetrack seemed like a perfect idea. Drifting is a skill that allows drivers to skid around and perform stunts that can’t be done on regular streets. Kendall and her friends had a blast racing and drifting throughout the day and into the night. Despite getting carried away and being asked if they were done by the organizers, Kendall and her friends couldn’t get enough of the adrenaline rush and excitement.
As thrilling as the experience was, Kendall made sure to mention that safety was a priority. Before getting behind the wheel, professional instructors guided her and her friends on how to drift safely without flipping their cars. Kendall, who owns two fast cars including a Ferrari, admitted that she has been pulled over by the police a few times for speeding. However, she shared a funny anecdote about how her dad, who used to be a professional race car driver, often helped her get out of traffic violations by being recognized and liked by the police officers. Kendall jokingly mentioned that she drives safe, but fast, and feels confident in a car due to the skills she learned from her dad. Her friends tease her about her driving style, but they also trust her implicitly and deem her the only person they would want to drive with.
Apart from her love for cars, Kendall also talked about her involvement in the entertainment industry. She addressed the speculation surrounding her older sister Kourtney’s possible departure from their reality show, expressing that Kourtney has her own boundaries when it comes to sharing her personal life. Kendall herself has always been more private about her personal life on the show. She revealed that Kourtney’s decision has caused a shift that everyone is still trying to understand, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that Kourtney will not be a part of the show in the future. Kendall hinted that things are about to get even crazier on the show before they get better.
In addition to her successful modeling career, Kendall also mentioned her collaboration with Kylie Jenner on a makeup line. While keeping the details under wraps, Kendall shared her excitement about working with her sister and being the last family member to have a makeup collaboration. She hinted that she might even be wearing some of their makeup during the show.
Switching gears, Ellen brought up a viral video that Kendall posted on social media. It featured her showcasing her long wingspan, which became the talk of the town and garnered over 14 million views. Kendall humorously explained that she posted the video simply because she has a long wingspan and thought it would be amusing for people to know. She mentioned how random posts like that often gain more attention than the ones she plans meticulously.
The conversation shifted to Kendall’s cheerleading background after Ellen revealed a picture of Kendall in her cheerleading uniform. Kendall admitted that after watching the popular Netflix show Cheer, she realized that she wasn’t the typical cheerleader depicted on the show. Kendall reminisced about the smaller cheerleading routines she used to perform in high school and even shared a brief cheer with the audience.
In a surprising turn of events, Ellen brought out members of the Navarro College Cheer Team, who appeared on the show previously. Kendall’s excitement reached another level when she saw her own cheerleading uniform had been brought out. She eagerly tried her hand at teaching Ellen’s executive producer, Andy, a cheerleading move. Despite some initial hesitation from Andy, he and Kendall successfully executed a lift, much to their delight and the audience’s amusement.
The segment concluded with Kendall and the cheerleaders from Navarro College bidding farewell to the audience. Kendall’s infectious enthusiasm and willingness to share her personal experiences made for an entertaining and lively appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show. We can’t wait to see what she does next in her career and, of course, the exciting developments on the show itself.
