Kim Kardashian didn't hold back during her "Saturday Night Live" debut.
While dressed in a velvety pink bodysuit, the KKW beauty mogul kicked off her monologue by poking fun at herself and her leaked 2007 sex tape.
"I know, I'm surprised to see me here, too," Kardashian, 40, told the crowd. "When they asked me to host, I was like 'why?' I haven't been to a premiere in a really long time."
"Actually, I only had that one movie come out, and no one told me it was even premiering. It must have slipped my mom's mind," she continued.
While talking about her legal aspirations, Kardashian said: "My father was and still is such an influence and inspiration to me, and I really credit him with opening my eyes to racial injustice. It's because of him that I met my first Black person.
"Anyone want to take a stab in the dark at who it was?" Kardashian said, referencing the murder trial. She added that "OJ does leave a mark. Or several. Or none at all - I still don't know."
Kardashian called West the "best rapper of all time. Not only that, he's the richest Black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids."

"So, when I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing. His personality," Kardashian said.
