HE made them into household names, but now Ryan Seacrest has revealed all it took was one video at a Kardashian family BBQ to realise they were “absolutely golden” entertainment.
Initially inspired by The Osbournes, which followed Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon, and their kids, Jack and Kelly, Seacrest wanted to emulate the success of the reality format with another family.

“I loved watching The Osbournes, which was really the first show of this [reality] genre,” Seacrest, who is the Executive Producer of Keeping Up With The Kardashians told Haute Living. “I started thinking about what another show could be like or who another show could be about, which is how [The Kardashians] started,” he began.
“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.’”
Seacrest heard the Kardashians may have been interested and so sent a casting director over to meet them at their home.

“So I said to a guy in my office, ‘Why don’t you buy a video camera and go out to their house on a Sunday when they’re having a family barbecue, shoot it, and then we’ll watch it and see what we think.”
“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!”’
Keeping Up With The Kardashians first aired in 2007 and is now in it’s tenth season.
