"Simon Cowell has confirmed that Khloe Kardashian is in the running to host The X Factor USA. Kardashian was first linked to the job in July and was recently rumoured to be a frontrunner.   Cowell has now revealed that the reality star is being considered during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. &amp;quot;We have screentested a load of people,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I know who I would like, but no, I&amp;#039;ve got to get it approved by the network, so I think it would be wrong to say at this point just in case the network say no.&amp;quot; Pushed by DeGeneres to name some possible candidates, Cowell replied: &amp;quot;It could be a Kardashian. It could be a Kardashian. I think that would work. &amp;quot;I mean, I&amp;#039;m quite a fan of not putting hosts on this show because I think it&amp;#039;s going to give it a different dynamic, so we&amp;#039;ve got to find people who&amp;#039;ve got a great chemistry. But Khloe&amp;#039;s definitely up there in the running.&amp;quot; Kardashian&amp;#039;s step-father Bruce Jenner has previously told Digital Spy that he thinks she would be &amp;quot;a great host&amp;quot;. The X Factor USA will premiere on Wednesday (September 12) on Fox.
