Did Fox Dump Kris Jenner?

Rumors were swirling Wednesday afternoon that Fox Television Stations group has decided to officially pull the plug on Kris Jenner’s short lived talk show.
The 57-year-old Kardashian matriarch had a six week test run this summer in half a dozen top U.S. TV markets.  If the show did well, it could have led to a full season pick-up.
The ratings were lackluster despite appearances by her famous children and an exclusive interview with daughter Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Kanye West, in which he debuted a photo of her granddaughter North West. The show was, however, a viral hit doing well on YouTube.
Fellow talk show host Ricki Lake fueled the rumors when she tweeted to Kris “@KrisJenner Sorry to hear your show was #cancelled.  Why didn’t you talk to me first?  I could have warned you about SB.”
The SB she’s referring to is Steven Brown, Executive Vice President of Fox Television Stations. Brown oversees the summer test shows and was in charge of both Kris and Ricki Lake’s show.
The Kris Jenner Show just tweeted the rumors are “false.”
