Nicolle Wallace may be on her way out of "The View," but she will not exit before everyone knows she possesses an admirable knowledge of the Kardashian family despite reports to the contrary.
The ABC talk show reportedly fired the only conservative co-host, but offered to keep her on as a recurring panelist, according to Deadline. Wallace didn't create enough controversy with her opposing views and wasn't as well versed in pop culture as the producers wished.
The former communications chief for George W. Bush seemed to take the greatest offense to Deadline's assumption that she was "not up to speed on the Kardashians" as the reason for her ouster. She did her best to prove that she knew more about the reality TV stars than even her fellow co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie Perez with this quick summary of the family's history.
"Kris, a while ago, married Robert. They have four beautiful children. In 2003 he died tragically of cancer. He left behind Rob, who was on Dancing With The Stars a few years back. He did great, lost a lot of weight, but he doesn't do much in the public eye. They had Kourtney. She's with Scott [Disick]. He's such a douche bag, even I knew that wouldn't last. They have three kids. Khloe was with Lamar [Odom]. They had their own TV show. The marriage and the show are now off the air. Kim: The world rejoiced when Kim's 15-minute marriage to Kris Humphries ended and she fell in love with Kanye. The other gift to the world is their child North - North by Northwest? Something like that - and her butt."
The audience laughed and applauded, but Wallace wasn't quite finished.
"Wait, I know more. An injustice has been perpetrated on me," she said. "Kris also fell in love again. She married Bruce Jenner, who is now Caitlyn, the world's most famous person and the most beautiful women I've ever seen."
The 43-year-old political analyst finished by saying, "I just want everyone to know that even I have a line that can't be crossed. Don't ever dis my Kardashian knowledge."
Perez, who announced her own exit last week, followed up by admitting to her own Kardashian illiteracy, but then added a serious note, "I just want people to understand, you demand respect, and I respect the hell out of you."
Goldberg also joked, "If that was the way to get off this bad boy, I'd have been gone ages ago. I know nothing about the Kardashians. They're very nice people I'm sure. I don't care. They don't pay my rent, don't do jack for me."
ABC has not confirmed Wallace's exit from "The View."
