North West Hilariously Roasts Kim Kardashian: Mom Can’t Cook! on November 8, 2023 at 9:40 pm The Hollywood Gossip
As her grandmother might say, you’re doing amazing, sweetie!
Kim Kardashian spent some mother-daughter time with daughter North West on The Kardashians.
North likes to cook, and she’s clearly good at it despite her young age. (She’s still young, but just old enough to make us feel old)
She’s also witty — using the opportunity to absolutely roast her mother.

Avocado, cucumber, rice, chicken wings, and more appear on the countertop in front of North during a Season 4, Episode 6 segment of The Kardashians.
She is preparing to make both hand-rolled sushi and some chicken wings. The ingredients are all there. But she’s missing something.
It’s Kim. She’s the missing ingredient. But while North waits for her mother to join her in the kitchen, a producer asks a potentially shady question.

“Can your mom cook?” a producer asks North from off camera.
North is 10 years old, but was just a couple of months shy of that when this episode filmed.
“Heck no!” North quips. Viewers who watched were cracking up, and took to social media to cheer her on.
From the other room, Kim Kardashian declares that things are already smelling good. (Image Credit: Hulu)
“North is literally on this planet to humble Kim,” observed one social media user. (Notably, Kim makes a similar point later in this episode.
“I love her outspokenness!” wrote another. We do, too! Nine is a great age for someone to find their voice and begin discovering more complex interests.
“Hahahahah she is wildly scathing,” cackled another social media user. “I absolutely love it.” So do we!

And it’s good that North is having a good time.
That is sort of the point.
It’s not just that she loves to cook — but she does love to cook.
Speaking to the confessional camera, Kim Kardashian explains this mother-daughter bonding time. (Image Credit: Hulu)
As Kim explains to the confessional camera, she is very consciously spending time bonding with North.
She has four kids. And she is also one of the most intentionally busy people on the planet.
Kim is one of those people who wants to always be doing things. It’s not as simple as spending too much time working or picking up passion projects or hobbies; it’s a drive. But she wants to always make time for her kids.

We can, of course, acknowledge that many children do not have the opportunity to develop a love for cooking.
It takes time and supplies to learn. In most case, it requires a skilled teacher — or, at least, a parent with the time to supervise.
And kids who have to cook to feed younger siblings are less likely to develop this passion. The same goes for kids who then have to do their own dishes. We’re so happy that North has gotten to explore this!

Their bonding is important for several reasons.
North is a child of divorce. While some divorces end with only one parent having the kids (which can be a tragedy or a very good thing, depending upon the parents), kids may need extra bonding time with both parents.
This time together is also very important in the years leading up to North’s teens. That can be a difficult time, so it’s good to cement their relationship here and now.

Also? It’s just really fun.
North is an interesting person. She’s creative, she’s passionate, and she’s funny.
She is also, and we cannot emphasize this enough, clearly good at cooking and will only get better.

North has a vibrant personality.
She’s not her father (thankfully). But she’s also not her mother.
North is her own person, and she’s still growing into who she’s going to be.

Also? Like we said, North is good at this.
She’s better at making hand-rolled sushi than most of the show’s viewers.
Like, most of the show’s adult viewers. Part of that is opportunity (again, it takes time and supplies to learn), but part of that is passion. She’s developing real skills.
As The Kardashians viewers can see, North West is better at hand-rolling sushi than most adult viewers are. (Image Credit: Hulu)
But while North has me craving eel avocado rolls and Alaska rolls (I am going to dream about sushi tonight and wake up hangry), Kim is being more serious.
Speaking to the confessional camera, she talks about her bond with North.
And she says that North is her “lesson.”

“North is really special and smart and creative and definitely beats to her own drum,” Kim describes.
“Her personality is really, really silly,” she characterizes.
“It’s so interesting because her temperament as a child is the same now,” Kim notes. “You definitely just come out your own person.”

“Kourtney always says North is my lesson on this planet,” Kim tells the camera.
“It means I’m supposed to learn more patience,” she says. “She teaches me patience.”
Praising her eldest child, Kim notes: “She has taught me a lot about life.”

AfriqueFest: Pan-African Musical Experience — World Cup Edition is set to take over Noto Houston on Sunday, June 28, bringing together East, South, and West African sounds in one immersive celebration of music, culture, and connection. Presented by Experience Noir and Bolanle Media, the event is designed as a cinematic night for the culture, blending global energy with Houston nightlife in a way that feels elevated, intentional, and deeply rooted in African creativity.
Spotlight on DJ Shinski
At the heart of this year’s experience is DJ Shinski. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya and now based in Houston, DJ Shinski has built an international name off high-energy sets that move effortlessly across Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip‑hop, dancehall, reggae, and electronic sounds.
He has also become Africa’s most‑subscribed DJ on YouTube, crossing the 2‑million‑subscriber mark and turning his mixes into a global destination for music lovers.
DJ Shinski’s style is precise but unpredictable: one moment it’s classic Afrobeats, the next it’s East African anthems, then a run of throwback hip‑hop or R&B that still feels fresh. That ability to read a room and connect multiple worlds in a single set is exactly why AfriqueFest is building so much of the night’s energy around him.
At AfriqueFest, DJ Shinski helps drive the Safari Grooves segment, representing East and Central Africa from 4 PM to 6 PM. Expect a journey that moves from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Addis, and beyond, all filtered through his signature “vibes on vibes” approach behind the decks.
DJ Tunez and the rest of the night
Supporting that energy, DJ Tunez leads the Gold Coast Beats chapter from 8 PM to 10 PM, bringing his own Nigerian‑American Afrobeats pedigree to the stage. Together with the Diamond Rhythms segment (South) and a curated roster of DJs, the night stretches across the continent in three distinct musical chapters, all connected by a single dance floor.
Hosted by @chris_gone_crazy, @kingdrewwskyy, @roselynomaka, and @samsnewleaf, AfriqueFest is positioned as more than a party—it’s a celebration of sound, style, and Pan‑African identity in Houston, with DJ Shinski anchoring the experience from the moment doors open.
Brought to you by Bolanle Media & Experience Noir
Brought to you by Bolanle Media and Experience Noir, this World Cup edition of AfriqueFest is crafted as a night where global DJs, storytellers, and music lovers collide and create a shared cultural memory. With DJ Shinski front and center—and DJ Tunez helping close the night—guests can expect a show that reflects both the future of African nightlife and the power of the diaspora to create unforgettable live moments.
If you want to experience DJ Shinski live at AfriqueFest, now is the time to lock in your spot. Purchase your tickets now at AfriqueFest.com and get ready for a night of music, movement, and culture at Noto Houston.
Laughter Meets Inspiration: Our Ladies Show Lands on The Roku Channel
A bold new sketch comedy series for women premieres June 13 across the U.S., U.K., and Canada — arriving on the back of a festival-winning run that has critics and audiences already paying attention.
It isn’t every day a brand-new comedy arrives already wearing a row of trophies. Our Ladies Show does. The seven-episode inspirational sketch comedy series — created, written by, and starring Christin Jezak — begins streaming on The Roku Channel on Friday, June 13, 2026, available free to viewers in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Produced in partnership with global media services leader Encompass Digital Media, the series sets out to do something rare in today’s streaming landscape: make women laugh out loud and leave them lifted. In a media moment crowded with noise and cynicism, Our Ladies Show is a deliberate counterweight — comedy with a conscience, built for women of every age and background.
A Show Built Around Real Life — and Real Laughs
Each of the seven episodes opens with a monologue from one of the cast members introducing the theme, then rolls into three or more sketches that hit the subject from every comedic angle. The series tackles the things women actually carry: holding grudges, comparison, beauty, patience, gift giving, the importance of community, and dealing with anxiety.
The comedy comes from a place of warmth rather than mockery — a “laugh at ourselves” spirit that runs through a gallery of unforgettable characters: a nosey neighbor, an overwhelmed mom, relentlessly optimistic flight attendants, beauty pageant winners past their prime, and a crew of unruly campers with a counselor who simply cannot hold it together.
Then the show does something most sketch series don’t. In the final segment of every episode, the cast gathers in a living-room setting and invites the audience in — sharing real inspiration drawn from the theme, the sketches, and their own personal stories. It’s the moment the laughter turns into something that stays with you.
The Women Behind the Show
Our Ladies Show brings together three performers with serious range:
- Christin Jezak — creator, writer, and star (Miracle at Manchester, Raising Hope, Jimmy Kimmel Live!)
- Hillary Hawkins — (Primal, Nick Jr.’s Play Along, Gullah Gullah Island)
- Sarah Hernandez — (Nefarious, Unplanned, House of Payne)
“In a world with so much division and depression, I hope women of all ages and backgrounds will watch this show, laugh, be reminded of how beautiful, unique, and loved they are, and remember how much we need each other.”— Christin Jezak, Creator & Star
Already a Festival Favorite
The series’ recurring long-form sketch, Neighborhood Watch, didn’t arrive quietly. Originally released as a web series and revamped for Our Ladies Show with new footage, sound, and music, it has been sweeping the festival circuit:
- 🏆 Best Webseries — 2026 New Media Film Festival (Los Angeles)
- 🏆 Best Web/TV Series — Paris Film Awards
- 🏆 Best Web Series — Dallas Movie Awards
- 🏅 Additional wins at the London Movie Awards, Florence Film Awards, and Hollywood Gold Awards
- 🎬 Official Selection — 2026 Harvard Divinity School Film Fest
- ⭐ Finalist — Houston Comedy Film Festival
- 📣 Three nominations — 2025 Content Christian Media Conference, including Best Actress in a TV and Web Series nods for both Christin Jezak and Sarah Hernandez
Where and When to Watch
Our Ladies Show premieres Friday, June 13, 2026, streaming on The Roku Channel — the home of premium and free entertainment — in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. All seven episodes deliver the series’ signature blend of sharp sketch comedy and genuine encouragement.

Most of the talk about Euphoria asks one question: was it realistic? That’s the wrong question if you make films. The better one is simpler. How did Sam Levinson get an audience to feel addiction from the inside? And what did it cost him to end the show the way he did?
Strip away the noise and Euphoria is a clinic in three choices: point of view, style, and the ending. Here’s what’s worth taking — and what isn’t.
1. Put the Camera Inside the Character
Most shows about drugs watch from across the room. Euphoria doesn’t. When Rue is high, the camera is high too. Walls breathe. Floors tilt. Time skips. You’re not watching her — you’re stuck inside her head.
That’s the lesson: point of view is a decision you make with the camera and the cut, not a mood you add later in color. Levinson builds it into the lens, the blocking, and the edit.
So before you shoot a scene through a character’s eyes, ask one thing on set: whose eyes is this lens standing in for? Then make every cut respect that.
2. Your Style Has to Mean Something
The glitter. The slow push-ins. The impossible club lighting. Euphoria‘s look got copied everywhere. That’s the trap.
The style worked because it carried weight. The beauty wasn’t decoration — it was the lie addiction tells you, the reason the next high looks worth it. The camera made self-destruction gorgeous on purpose.
The copies missed that. A thousand music videos took the look and left the meaning behind, and you can feel how hollow they are. So here’s the test: if your signature style could be swapped onto any other project and still “work,” it’s not a style. It’s a filter. Every choice should have a reason behind it.
3. The Ending Tells the Audience What It All Meant
When Euphoria ended for good in Season 3, Levinson killed Rue — an accidental, fentanyl-laced overdose. He called it “the honest ending,” saying he wanted to tell a true story about addiction and grief in a time when one mistake can be the last one. Reportedly, that wasn’t the original plan; the death of Angus Cloud, who played Fezco, changed the script.
Forget whether you agree with the choice. Study how it works. An ending is the last instruction you give your audience about how to read everything before it.
By ending on consequence instead of recovery, Levinson reframed seven years of beautiful chaos as a story about cost — not a celebration of it.
It’s also the show’s most debatable move, and that’s worth noticing too. A show that spent years making pain look beautiful had to fight to make that pain land as loss. Did it earn the ending, or enjoy the wreckage too long to stick it? Smart filmmakers will disagree — and that argument is exactly what a good ending is supposed to start.
What Not to Take
The neon grief is the most copied part. It’s also the least useful. Take the surface — the colors, the slow-mo, the trauma-as-texture — and you get the costume without the body.
The real craft is underneath. Commit your camera to a real point of view. Make every stylistic choice earn its place. Treat your ending as the point of the whole thing. Do that, and your work won’t look like Euphoria. It’ll do what Euphoria did.
