Khole Kardashian Fired from 'X Factor,' Why? 'As a Viewer, Made Me Almost Uncomfortable'

Khole Kardashian has been reportedly fired from "The X Factor" as co-presenter Mario Lopez was asked to return next season but not her.

"They are asking Mario [Lopez] to come back, but not Khloe," a source told the New York Post.

Fans of the show often complained about her awkward, stiff chemistry with Lopez. "I am sure there was a big percentage of Khloe's fans who follower her to 'X Factor,'" said Marki Costello, who provides classes and training for TV hosts. "But at the end of the day, when she doesn't know what she is doing, are you helping your show or hurting it? It was really hard for me to watch Mario with her. It made me, as a viewer, almost uncomfortable."

The reality star was hired as she was not a trained television host and she revealed previously that she was asked not to take any hosting lesson before she started, leaving her unprepared.

Kardashian said, "I've never done live TV before, and I was asked to not do any hosting lessons because they wanted me to be just myself. I found the day before because the stage was just built, that I couldn't read the teleprompter without glasses, so I had to get contacts the day before."

She added, "Just learning how there's a screaming audience and you don't yell because the mic is right there ... I will have an earpiece in my ear, and while I'm trying to read the teleprompter then I have someone counting down ... and they're like, 'Okay, ask Simon this or that' ... There were so just so many pieces I never knew were involved in live TV."
