12 Video Views·May 1, 2025
Kendall Jenner delves into modeling, speed racing, and cheerleading before mastering a cheer routine with the Navarro Cheer team on stage.
Our first guest was recently named the most popular fashion
supermodel.
She's also a member of one of the most famous families
in America.
Please welcome Kendall Jenner.
That's good.
We kind of go together a little bit.
Not really.
We don't go together at all, but that is fantastic.
Thank you.
That's fabulous.
Thanks.
I'm going to guess who that is.
What?
What do you think it is?
Who is it?
Oh, it's Ports.
Oh, I wasn't going to guess that, but I like it a lot.
So you just turned 24 years old.
Yeah.
So you rented out a racetrack for your birthday.
Yeah, in Palm Springs.
That sounds fun.
Yeah, it was awesome.
I have grown up just loving cars and sports and stuff,
so I thought it would be a fun idea.
And a lot of my friends really like it, too.
So I kind of invited all my friends,
and if they had a fun car, I said bring it.
So we went, and I kind of learned how to drift.
It's like my first try.
What does that mean, drift?
Like, you know, skid around and stuff, stuff
you can't do on a regular street.
Right.
So it's just like a big playground for cars.
It was so much fun.
Did y'all race each other, or did you just learn how to drift?
No, we raced as well.
We kind of got a little carried away.
They were like, all right, are you guys done?
We're like, no.
We're going all night.
How long were you there?
We were there for hours.
I mean, we were there from like 2 to probably 7, 6, 7.
We couldn't get enough.
We were having so much fun.
Now, did they teach you how, because drifting
seems like drifting could turn into flipping the car over.
Right, so they put you in one of their cars
first, like kind of an easier car to figure it all out
and then mess up in.
And they get you in there with an instructor,
and he explains how to do it.
And the first couple of times, you're
just like, this feels impossible.
And then the second you figure it out mentally,
you're just like, oh, OK, I got it.
And then you can kind of get the groove.
And I'm obviously still learning.
I'm not very good yet.
But it's such a good time.
So do you have fast cars?
Yeah, I have two, I guess, that are fast.
The one in the video was mine, the black one was mine.
Which is a Ferrari.
And when you drive that car, do you
find you get more attention from policemen?
Are you pulled over a lot?
I wouldn't say a lot.
I've definitely been pulled over.
But my dad, actually, it's funny, when I was growing up
and I'd get a little not stopping completely
at a stop sign, or maybe a little bit of a speeding
ticket, the cops would always be like, oh my god,
I love your dad.
I grew up watching your dad.
Saw him at coffee this morning, so I would most of the time
get out of the car.
So you'd get out of it.
Sometimes.
Not all the time.
So how many speeding tickets do you have?
I don't know.
I don't think I've ever counted.
Well, the fact that you don't know says you've gotten a lot.
I've gotten a few, maybe.
I mean, I know I could answer that question.
I think I've gotten one.
Really?
Yeah.
No way.
I don't believe that.
I feel like you have some speed in you.
Oh, I do.
But I've gotten out of them.
Literally, they will walk up to the car and go, can I just,
oh my god, Ellen, I love you.
My wife loves you.
And then I get a selfie, and yeah.
We'll cut this part out, because I
want to keep getting out of them.
I drive safe, fast, but safe.
OK, same.
I feel really confident in a car.
I'm like, I don't know, I feel like I learned from my dad,
who used to actually be a professional race car driver.
So I have some pretty good skill.
Because you have to pay attention to what's behind you,
and you can't just go fast and think you're
the only person on the road.
My friends actually make fun of me for it.
They're like, you drive really crazy,
but I feel safe with you.
So it's like you're probably the one person
that I'd want to be in a car with.
When you say you drive crazy.
Not crazy.
OK, maybe cut that part out.
No, but what is crazy?
Fast is one thing, but what's crazy?
I guess I'm just, I'd consider myself a confident driver.
Like, I'm not, I don't know.
Yeah.
Knock on wood.
Yeah.
No, but as long as you're aware of your surroundings,
and yeah, I think that's important.
Totally.
All right, I have to ask you about this,
because it's the law.
So Courtney just is now not going
to be part of the show anymore, is that right?
Because she doesn't want her personal life in the show.
But then you're still in the show,
but your personal life is never in the show.
No, no.
Well, first of all, not necessarily.
I think Courtney kind of has boundaries,
which is totally understandable.
And I think, to answer your question a little further,
I think I've always kind of not let my personal life entirely
on the show, so it's just kind of always been a thing for me.
But then with Courtney, she did at one point
let her personal life be on the show,
and so now it's a bit more of a shift,
I guess, for everyone to understand.
But no, I don't think she's fully confirmed
to not be on the show.
Let's just say it gets a little bit crazier
before it gets any better.
And it's just some pretty crazy things that happen.
Yeah, it's amazing that things can keep getting better,
because the family, I mean, y'all are really,
you're real on there.
It's a lot of conflict on there.
Now, congratulations on the Versace campaign also.
That's really cool.
I mean, that's amazing.
And you're doing a makeup collab with Kylie as well,
which is very cool.
We're very excited about it.
We're doing it yet.
Oh, this is an announcement?
She's doing a collaboration with Kylie.
Done one yet.
I'm the last sister, or the last family member, I think.
I had a contract before with another makeup company,
so now I'm able to do it.
And I might be wearing some of it tonight, right now.
You look fantastic.
Thank you.
Yeah, you look great.
Well, that's going to be very cool.
I mean, her line's doing well, but the two of you together,
that's pretty great.
Yeah, it's cool.
I feel like we're really going big,
because I'm her full blood.
You are her full blood sister.
We're taking it seriously.
That's very cool.
All right, we have to take a break.
More with Kendall after this.
We're back with Kendall Jenner.
She's huge on social media.
You posted something the other day.
Explain to me, OK, you post this,
and it got like a trillion views.
Like, how much?
14 million views because you did that.
Can you?
I'm not even doing anything.
What made you want to do that and call it Wingspan,
and why is that 14 million views?
I don't know.
I just have a really long wingspan,
and I just felt like people should know.
I don't know.
It's so random, but it's hysterical.
It is hysterical.
It's actually funny.
I feel like a lot of the posts that I post like that,
where I'm just like, this is a mindless post.
I just think it's funny.
They end up getting more attention than the ones
that I'm like, oh, this will be cool.
Now, is your wingspan extra long?
I've never actually measured it, but isn't it?
Stand up.
Let me see how long my wingspan is next to your wingspan.
It's the same wingspan.
No, it's not.
We have to go back to.
Yeah, stand behind me.
Or in front of me.
OK, I'll stand behind you.
OK.
All right, you have a long wingspan.
Yeah.
But it's not that much longer.
We're reaching.
That's how I can do.
I was going to say, I think that from fingertip to fingertip,
it's the height of you.
That's what I've heard, right?
Am I wrong?
Right.
Yeah.
They also say if you wrap pants around your neck,
that's your waist size, too.
Have you heard that?
What?
Literally.
Like, if you wrap the pant around.
Has anyone heard this?
No.
Yes, thank you very much.
There are other people.
So you're saying your neck is the size of your waist?
Well, it would be doubled.
So you take the pant.
Oh, the whole pant.
Yeah, and you hold it the way it is.
Do that, and those pants will fit you.
No way.
That's insane.
First of all, there are other people that'll back me up,
and not just the woman who yelled bingo.
All right, so there's a picture of you.
And I know that you're a huge fan of cheer.
You were a cheerleader, right?
Yes.
After I watched Cheer, I was like,
I was definitely not this type of cheerleader.
No!
That was the wingspan.
No, my friend used this photo to make fun of me.
That's a wingspan getting ready to go.
That's insane.
All right, so you're a huge fan of cheer, as I am.
I had them on the show not too long ago.
They're so awesome, aren't they?
I loved them.
And Morgan.
Jerry Morgan.
You love Morgan.
I love Morgan.
I love Morgan, too.
Morgan!
No.
Morgan!
Hi.
Oh, my gosh.
Nice to meet you.
You're so cute.
When we come back, let me see your wingspan.
Oh, yeah, here.
Should we wingspan?
Y'all should do the wingspan together.
All right.
It's a little different.
It's the same.
All right, so when we come back, Morgan is going to teach.
What?
What's happening?
Well, actually, I have a surprise for you.
What is it?
No way!
Oh, my god.
It is a new part of cheer uniform.
Thank you.
Oh, my god.
Because, girl, you look good in school uniform.
Of course.
This is so awesome.
You can try it on and do that with it.
My wonderful cheerleading.
All right.
When we come back, Abert and Andy,
and you are going to learn a cheer from her.
Oh, my goodness.
It's going to be fun.
We'll be back.
Perfect.
All right.
When we come back, we're going to come along
with members of the Navarro College Cheer Team.
Morgan, Titi, Shannon, James.
Andy, get out here, Andy.
Confidence.
All right.
I know how much you love the show Cheer.
Do you remember any cheers at all that you did in high school?
We thought it would be good to hear one.
Yeah.
I remember, like, really small ones.
OK.
Nothing crazy.
I feel like I did this recently.
It was like, Sierra, let's hear it.
Yes!
She has cheered with the cheerleaders with the Rams.
That's correct.
And let's remind everybody what that looked like.
So we both have experience.
Yeah, you both have experience.
All right, so we thought we would
let you teach them a cheer of some sort
and see what you could do.
I'm going to get out of here.
I'm going to watch from over here.
No, you have to do it.
No, go ahead.
No.
Well, first, we're going to show you one of our skills.
It's a hand-to-hand.
And Titi and Shannon are going to demonstrate for you.
OK.
Squeeze.
Oh, my goodness.
You're up.
All right.
Andy and I do that a lot.
We don't need to do it.
I'll spot you.
All right.
OK.
All right.
But actually, we're going to teach you
how to do either a prep or we could do a lower thigh stand,
whichever you're comfortable with.
A prep?
For her.
We'll show you.
OK.
A prep or a what?
A thigh.
I know what a thigh stand is.
Yeah, so you're just going to jump in with both feet.
Put your weight on their shoulders.
They're going to dip you.
You're going to stand straight up.
Squeeze.
And then hit a high V.
You can do that.
No, I can't do that.
You can never do that.
You guys, I'll do a thigh stand.
And then to come down, you do the same thing but in reverse.
All right, how do you get down?
Same thing but in reverse.
Oh, easy.
Yeah.
Come on.
You can do it.
America's watching.
Go.
OK.
Oh, my god.
My feet are probably all sweaty.
So just jump in with both.
Yeah, just jump in.
OK.
And then?
And then they're going to dip you and just stand straight up.
OK.
One, two.
I got you.
Stand straight up.
Ah!
Yeah!
We're actually out of time.
That's better than dribbling.
You got it.
Come on.
That's better than dribbling.
So what?
I would lift Kendall now.
No, we're going to put you in there.
We're putting you in there.
We're going to get him up there.
I'm deaf.
I'm older, and my bones are brittler.
Brittler.
Let's be real careful, guys.
OK.
Just jump.
What do you want me to do?
Just jump into their hands.
What?
Oh, just give it to you?
Oh, god.
OK, I'm heavy.
Ow!
No, no, no, no.
Not a good idea.
Oh, go up!
So much cheer is streaming now on Netflix.
If you haven't watched this show, it is amazing.
Cheer on Netflix.
Thank you so much, Kendall.
That was great.
