Kendall Jenner’s comedic male doppelganger “Kirby Jenner” has made the rounds on the internet lately and is now expected to premiere in his own Keeping Up with the Kardashians spin-off show. Kirby has recently gained a huge following on Instagram with his satirical rendition as Kendall’s fake fraternal twin.
The comedian originally began his Instagram career as Kirby back in 2015. What seemed at first to be a meager effort, has since attracted over 1.3 million followers to his page. Most of Kirby’s content involves hilarious photoshops of him posing alongside pictures of Kendall Jenner. In these pictures, he puts on the persona of Kendall’s awkward yet mysterious fraternal twin.
As a result of the popularity Kirby is now receiving, the streaming platform Quibi has offered him a deal to reprise his role on a spin off series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Even more interesting, is the fact that both Kris Jenner and Kendall are producers of the new series. It’s worth noting, Kirby’s creative genius isn’t just applied to Kendall Jenner photoshops, check out one of Kirby’s posts below:
He’s also photoshopped himself in other pictures with the family such as a hilarious breakfast image with Kanye West or a shopping escapade alongside momma Kris. Aside from focusing simply on Kendall, he’s intelligent enough to market the persona of being an integral part of their family. And the Kardashian-Jenners absolutely love it. Naturally, being Kendall’s fraternal twin Kirby has described himself in his bio as an “amateur model” and “lover of all things.” But in reality, Kirby is photography mastermind with seasoned editing skills that should land him a career later down the line.
Frankly, there’s not much fans can’t like about Kirby and his antics. The Kardashian-Jenner family is playing off of Kirby’s ability to resonate with viewers which exhibits another genius marketing move on their part. Kris Jenner proves yet again to be in touch with what fans presently are in tune with and what will continue the family’s brand exposure going into the future. The new reality show featuring Kirby recently aired on May 24th.
As an added bonus, the entire Kardashian family of Kris, Khloe, Kim, Kourtney, and Kylie are expected to be making appearances. Other A-list celebrities are also set to make cameos on the new series. Quibi has developed a perfect formula that fits Kirby’s “pop in” persona. Each of these episodes are aired in “quick bites” which are videos that are 10 minutes or less. With the support that Kirby has behind him, there is no question that the new series will prove to be a major success for the Quibi platform. Kudos to Kris Jenner and her family for turning this budding star’s dream now into a reality.
