“One thing I’m really proud of is that no one can ever call me a gold digger,” she said. “Honestly, I’m not even sure how you become one. So I asked my mom’s boyfriend Corey.”
The reality star also mentioned her family’s failed political aspirations, including West’s presidential campaign andCaitlyn Jenner’s bid for California governor.
“Now I know we’re divided as a country, but I’d love America to come together, which is why I’m here to announce that I’m running for,” she said, adding, “I’m just kidding, guys! I’m not running for president. We can’t have three failed politicians in one family.”
Kardashian West, who filed for divorce from West in February, later brought up her marriage to the Yeezy designer, 44, as she joked about their high-profile breakup.
“When I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing: his personality,” she shared. “I know it sounds mean, but people keep telling me that comedy comes from truth. And if there’s one thing that I always strive to be, it’s genuine.”
A Pete Davidson Romance
In one sketch, Kardashian West played Jasmine opposite cast memberPete Davidson’s Aladdin andBowen Yang’s Genie. The cheeky skit featured Aladdin asking the Genie for his “third wish.”
“Oh wow, the one you were saving to set me free?” Yang asked, to which Davidson replied, “Yeah, we’re going to scrap that. I want you to make me like Pinocchio, but like down there.”
“They always promise me freedom but at the end of the day, it’s always a bigger penis,” Yang said.

“Wow that is better, even though it’s the wrong color,” Kardashian West joked after the wish is granted.
