Saw this on IG and never knew it existed so I thought I'd share with those who also didn't know. Saw it barely talked about on KTT1 as well
Rhymefest and Kanye had this adult themed muppets type show he wanted to do called Alligator Boots on Comedy Central, and for the pilot he specifically wanted Kim to be in it. Show failed bad but there's old behind the scenes stuff:
i thought this was a ryhmefest show and kanye played a supporting role
yeah I think it was. it was his music on the show too and I heard there was only supposed to be one human guest per show and Kanye was the first, but he requested Kim come as well
Imma keep the title tho cus of them both being there for it
oh s*** the intro sounds like that ayy girl song ye was on with that kpop group and this nigga had kim in the bag for a while
I wonder have they ever brought this up in their relationship now
Seems funny how it really isn’t mentioned. Even this video came out and got attention before they were together
“I want Kim Kardashian to play princess Leia, cuz you know Kim Kardashians ass is just soo.. perfect” Nice save Kanye.

They talk about it alot I'm suprised you never knew about this.
Rhymefest even brought it up when they were cursing last year. Kim has talked about how it was her first time really meeting Ye.
Jimmy Kimmel was a producer on this too and he and some if the team even said Ye use to play her sextape and they recognized her from it when he cast her
III. When Kanye Met Kim
West was the only human star in the original plan for the pilot, but he had an idea for a love interest. On The Muppet Show, a singer might juggle or an actor might dance; on Alligator Boots, Kanye wanted to dress up like a stormtrooper for a sketch with a costar clad as "slave Leia" from Return of the Jedi. And he had one very specific person in mind.
Kellison: Kanye came to me and said, "I want to put Kim Kardashian in the show." Now, at that point, Kim Kardashian was known for only one thing—her s***tape with Ray J, which had just come out.
Stern: We initially wrote it for—I don't want to say Paris Hilton, but somebody else. We were talking about it, and Kanye was like, "Nah, nah, nah. Get Kim Kardashian!"
Kellison: When I first met Kanye, he was recording that song "Flashing Lights"—I walked into the studio and he was behind the control board, and this woman was singing one of the sections of the song. She goes, "How about that take?" And he was like, "I'm sorry, I missed it. Can you do it again?" He was watching the Kim Kardashian tape on his computer; it had come out that day, and that's why he was distracted
Kellison: I told Kanye that it was a bad idea, but I did it as diplomatically as I could. I said, "The Muppet Show always had one star. You're the star of the pilot. We can put Kim Kardashian in episode 3 or 4, but let's focus on you." But he resisted. Kanye is tenacious and he kept asking me about it, and finally we compromised and agreed to have her in a sketch. He'd never met her at this point.
Kimmel: He's not a guy you should ever discount because it's pretty clear that whatever he chooses to do, he's passionate about it and he has specific reasons. And the guy is way more successful than me.
Kellison: So Kim Kardashian walks in, and I'm there to greet her with Kanye. And I go, "Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm the executive producer. Nice to meet you, and this is Kanye." And Kanye goes, "Yeah, Dan didn't want you on the show." She laughed—by the way, Kim Kardashian was lovely. A pro. She was really excited to be there. But I turned to Kanye afterwards and I go, "You motherfucker, I should have told her that, when I first met you, you were watching her p***." And he starts laughing and goes, "Oh my God, you totally should have."
Dinnean: So this was their Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
