Khloe Kardashian to Be Next X FACTOR Host?

According to Ohnotheydidnt.com, Khloe Kardashian is a current front-runner in the search for a new host for FOX's THE X FACTOR. Sources close to the show tell TMZ that the reality star is a top choice to replace last year's host Steve Jones and that FOX executives "want it to happen."

Says TMZ, "Khloe is definitely #1 among the women who tried out and is generally considered the best in the entire pack of host wannabes." Kardashian had a recent screen test for the hosting gig which won over show execs including Simon Cowell. According to the report, Khloe will draw the demo audience that show execs are targeting.

Producers will make a decision in the upcoming weeks. The show's host will not make an appearance until the live shows begin next month. A well-connected source tells the site that,  "There's at least an 85% chance she'll get the job."
