Kyle exposes Caitlyn Jenner’s interview fee

Kyle Sandilands has dished some dirt on a rival breakfast show, revealing how much they paid to secure an exclusive interview with Caitlyn Jenner.

Fox FM’s Fifi, Fev and Nick had Jenner co-host their show on April 29, the same day that The Kyle and Jackie O Show started airing on Melbourne radio.

And according to Kyle, Fox FM paid through the nose for the interview.

“I wouldn’t have spent $30,000 US ($45,000 Aussie dollars), which I know is what they paid, to get Caitlyn Jenner on for 12 minutes,” Kyle said on the Game Changers Radio: Melbourne Radio Wars podcast.

Fox refused to comment when approached by news.com.au.

During Fox FM’s interview, Jenner spoke about a range of topics including Kanye West (“As far as my dealings with him, he’s been great, very accepting and very nice”), OJ Simpson (“We knew he did it. Everyone knew he did it. It was just, ‘is he going to get away with it?’”), and Donald Trump’s bid for re-election (“It better happen. If Trump does not get in … we’ve already lost our country, but we’re going to lose it even further”).

But Kyle says when he heard about Fox FM’s interview, he felt like the hosts didn’t ask the right questions.

“I said, ‘did they ask where Caitlin’s penis is? Is it still on? Has she got it in a bottle? Did she donate it?’ And they were like, ‘oh no, it was all very clean.’

“Why have Caitlin on then?” Kyle said on the Game Changers podcast.

“Who gives a sh*t about Caitlyn Jenner … Like, is that really worth it?

“I think I’d rather have (an interview) with a girl who thinks she’s a dog,” Kyle said. “That’s more fascinating to me than Caitlyn Jenner.”

Recently, there’s been industry speculation that some of the established breakfast shows in Melbourne have been changing their content to be more similar to The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

The Herald Sun’s Fiona Byrne wrote over the weekend: “Melbourne’s breakfast radio shows are getting grubby following the arrival of Kyle Sandilands.”

Ms Byrne noted Nova’s Jase and Lauren recently spoke on air about wild one night stands and weird things people do in the nude.

Fifi, Fev and Nick asked listeners to call in and reveal where they’d done the deed in Melbourne.

Kyle was asked on the Game Changers podcast by co-host Craig Bruce if he thought Nova and Fox were airing “edgier content” in a bid to win the ratings battle.

But Kyle seemed to dismiss the claim, saying nothing the rival shows had aired in Melbourne lately seemed very dirty to him.
