Jonah Hill told The Huffington Post how he felt about the Kardashian empire during a 2011 interview, explaining that he likes reality TV for the joke of it, but he also finds the whole thing sad. He said:
"The Kardashians are as famous as our president. What does that tell you about how skewed our society is?. . . . The truth of it is, I have friends who work in TV and the Kardashians get higher ratings than their TV shows. Shows that people actually work hard on — writing and creating and trying to tell stories. The fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like Mad Men is disgusting. It's a super disgusting part of our culture, but I still find it funny to make a joke about it. Whenever I say I like reality TV, people write about it like they're in shock. I can't even understand it, so I watch it. I think it's funny."
