Four More Years Of The Kardashians For $100 Million Deal Makes Reality TV History, And Ryan Seacrest Gets Credit [Video]

When it comes to moms who are managers, Kris Jenner just proved that she’s the queen by providing the world with four more years of the Kardashians. Giving credit for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians dynasty to Ryan Seacrest, it’s Jenner who signed a $100 million deal with E! Network for herself and Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie – and Bruce Jenner is out of the deal, reported the New York Post.

The multi-million dollar deal specifically excludes Bruce because he is exiting Keeping Up With The Kardashians after season 10. However, his fans can still Keep Up With Bruce because he has a new show in the works at E! Network.

What’s the skinny on this $100 million gig? No one is saying on how Kris achieved the highest amount of money ever given for reality TV. However, E! network has a “daddy” company, Comcast, which reportedly can cut costs if and when it merges with Time Warner Cable.

As far as what’s included: Four seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and spinoffs, such as Kourtney and Khloé Take the Hamptons.

“You’ll be seeing a lot more of the Kardashian family. This is a huge deal, which will see their involvement with the network and its digital properties expand well into the future,” predicted a source.

And Seacrest will get a fee for his own work in handing over the power to Kris Jenner.

In fact, it’s Ryan Seacrest who takes credit for recruiting them and promoting the family, reported Haute Living. He credits the Osbourne family for inspiring him.

“I loved watching The Osbournes, which was really the first show of this [reality] genre. I started thinking about what another show could be like or who another show could be about, which is how [The Kardashians] started,” explained Seacrest.

“We went to some casting directors in L.A. and said, ‘We’re interested in meeting families who want to be on a series or are interested in being in the world of television. The Kardashians were interested.

Then he suggested having someone take a video camera and film their family antics at a barbecue. Ryan watched the tape, and knew he had gold.

“I remember perfectly: he called me from their house Sunday afternoon and said, ‘It’s absolutely golden; you’re going to die when you see this tape. They’re so funny, they’re so fun, there is so much love in this family and they’re so chaotic—they throw each other in the pool!’ We watched it and rushed the tape to E! immediately, and that was the beginning.”

So who is Seacrest’s favorite?

“I admire Kris, because she has done an amazing job at taking what was just a television show and building it into a massive empire for the family,” admitted Ryan.

As for Ryan’s own personal life, he contends it is relatively boring, although he does have a new woman in his life, as the Inquisitr reported. That lucky lady is his newly adopted dog, Georgia. Watch below as Ellen DeGeneres gives him puppy advice.
