Later, she appeared in spoof sketches of Disney’s Aladdin, and reality television shows The Bachelorette and The People’s Court.
Another sketch on the show which was well-received by many viewers online saw Kardashian joke about her shape-wear company, Skims.
Appearing in front of her company’s logo, Kardashian said: “Introducing new Skims shape wear for thick dogs,” while a dog appeared next to her wearing a Skims item. Later, other dogs in the sketch were brought in wearing a variety of the items.
Kardashian went on to joke that her line would be available for all dogs, “no matter how big their butt is.”
