What's the Story?

KOCKTAILS WITH KHLOÉ is a talk show hosted by none other than Khloé Kardashian. The reality star invites celebrity guests to a dinner party prepared by personal chef and former Master Chef contestant Sharone Hakman. Folks such as Kym Whitley, Snoop Dogg, Aisha Tyler, personal friends, and members of the Kardashian clan are treated to new, inspired cocktails and a bite to eat as they discuss a range of topics and get the scoop on what's going on in Khloe's life.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

This series attempts to move away from the traditional talk-show format by offering an hour of noisy, alcohol-driven, non-intimate conversations set in a contrived party-like atmosphere. But, like most of the Kardashian franchise, it offers little that's thoughtful or substantive while highlighting the host's narcissistic tendencies. Taking it to the next level is a range of silly party games, which mostly revolve around the guest's sexual secrets and embarrassing drunken moments.

Any attempt at introducing a genuine conversation about anything is thwarted by the endless, often crude banter. But folks might find Chef Hakman's featured cocktails interesting, the recipes for which he quickly shares at the beginning of each episode. Others may be curious about the products and services some of the guests pitch during the show. Nonetheless, it's pretty boring, and despite the upscale set and fancy drinks, nothing can hide the show's cheap attempt at keeping a Kardashian in the limelight.
