Kourtney Kardashian reminisces about THAT awkward viral interview with Australian morning show
‘One of the most iconic bits of television of all time’: Kourtney Kardashian reminisces about THAT awkward viral interview with the Australian morning show where she BLANKED anchors over Kim question
Kourtney Kardashian was getting ready to do some press for her new vitamin/supplement brand Lemme when she was reminiscing about an awkward 2016 interview that went viral.
Kourtney, 44, who shared flashback snaps from 2019 earlier this week, got ready to take to The Today Show to discuss Lemme, where she admitted to Simon Huck that she gets nervous before shows where she has to do a, ‘ walk away.’
“Simon wants me to do some Lemme press,” Kourtney says in a confession, telling Simon, “the walkout is what does it for me.”
She asks about a time when Simon was with her and she had to do a walk-out in a white suit, with Simon responding, “You with the Australian satellite media tour when you just stopped responding.”
Kourtney’s hairdresser insisted, “That’s one of the most iconic pieces of television of all time,” as Simon added, “one of Kourtney’s classics.”

The awkward silence came when Australia Today Extra anchors David Campbell and Sonia Kruger asked about her sister Kim Kardashian’s Paris hotel robbery in 2016.
After David asked, “How’s Kim?” Kourtney started talking to the staff behind the scenes, ignoring him and his co-host Sonia Kruger.
She then went completely silent — other than the occasional blink — leading fans on TikTok to think she was trying to make it look like the satellite link was frozen.
“Hi Kourtney, have we lost you?” David asked, while Sonia added, “Okay. Seems like Kourtney doesn’t really want to go there with that question.”
David was less than impressed by the loss of communication and said, “I think she’s totally letting me down on that question!”
Sonia tried to defend Kourtney, explaining that it might have been a behind-the-scenes PR issue, before David blurted out, “She could just say her sister is fine!”
“I mean, I think we just said you know we’re very concerned and we stood by and hoped everyone is okay, which I still do,” he continued.

After a commercial break, Kourtney continued the interview and explained that there was a “bad connection.”
The interview went viral again in 2021 when it resurfaced on Tiktok, with over 3.5 million views.
After the video resurfaced last March, Kourtney herself commented on the interview for the first time.
She responded to Instagram user @thehoodsfinest’s post with the video, captioning it, “When Kourtney Kardashian pretended to be frozen on TV,” with the comment, “Iconic.”
