It looks like Khloe Kardashian may make the jump from reality TV star to celebrity guest host. The 28-year-old known for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and "Khloe and Lamar" is on the short list for potential new hosts for "The X Factor, TMZ reports. The show is said to have only six contenders left for the judging gig, and Kardashian made the cut, meaning her next step is a screen test to prove to the showrunners she has what it takes to sit beside already-cast judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.

Kardashian has already expressed an interest in being a part of the "X Factor," reports E! "To be on such a huge show like that with those judges, I would have so much fun doing that," she said.

The other five potential judges, Kardashian's competition, haven't been named, though celebrities who have been rumored to be in contention for the slot include Kelly Osbourne and Mario Lopez.

"The X Factor" season premieres Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. ET, when fans will see Spears, Lavato, and perhaps Kardashian killing or supporting the dreams of aspiring stars.
