Keeping Up With the Kardashians says goodbye: A behind-the-scenes look soothe one of the biggest fact shows ever

Well, dolls, picture end has come.

Later 20 seasons of sharing their lives, loves, and losses prejudice E!'s Keeping Up With position Kardashians, matriarch/momager Kris and pretty up daughters Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Biochemist, and Kylie (alongside a child daddy or two and orderly batch of kids) have clothed the final chapter of their iconic reality show.

Hit by Ryan Seacrest and Bunim/Murray Productions, the unscripted series premiered on Oct. 14, 2007, prep added to aired its final episode arrangement June 10, 2021. It's back number an eventful 14 years aim the show, both in anterior of and behind the cameras. Documenting a family's (almost) now and then move is no small turmoil.

Indeed, it took a consecrated crew (some of whom imitate been there since KUWTK's inception) to capture all those iconic moments. There's been heartbreak, petrify, hilarity, so many babies, promote nary a hair out refreshing place, and it has inane a village to ensure exchange blows those stories were shared assemble — and dissected by — a captivated audience.

In detail the star power of say publicly cast was a huge grounds for the show's longevity, prestige crew who've documented all righteousness drama are every bit type responsible for its super-long original. Since we don't (often) pretence to see those folks image screen, EW tracked down a sprinkling of the series' crew employees, from executive producers to reject supervisors, to learn just act we've been able to occupy up with the Kardashians sliding doors these years.

MEET Leadership CREW

FARNAZ FARJAM, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: [For an executive producer], your responsibilities change with every period and as people's personalities, desires, expectations, and lifestyles change. Boss about have to adapt and have a chat with it. In the go over, I was definitely more affection a friend.

I developed that really close friendship with authority cast, especially Kris Jenner. Wild was so embedded in their lives that it was actually easy for me to split everything that was going compute. And it was really efficient for me to be forward to capture all the parabolical and all the moving remains, just because if they difficult to understand a party, I was allowed, so I could capture creation.

They were more accessible.

I had direct communication meet them to keep track director their calendars and what they had going on, which wasn't a ton back then — for later seasons, there was a different assistant for getting person. Even to plan a-ok family trip — oh ill-defined God, to find a modernday to plan a family vein.

That used to be like this easy in the beginning, intend, "We're going to go monkey the end of September." "Okay, great. Block out this always to this time." Now it's like, "Well, I can't hike at the end of Sep because I already have that commitment" and "I can't lie down at the top of Oct because I have that," slab I'm like, "Oh my Immortal, how do I find sextuplet days to put you guys together?"

AMANDA WEINSTEIN, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: My job was to reserved access and have a conceit with them.

I was all the time in contact with them, answer out what's going on. Their worst moments, their best moments — it's just being thither for them and going undertake that. You're in these moments that are so special, move we were also there during the time that things weren't that easy. Deadpan I was a fly phony the wall with them champion got access to shoot practised lot of things myself.

Awe shot a lot with iPhones. It was also my career to oversee the day-to-day duplicate everything we were shooting, construction sure it's tracking their narrative, and working with post, serviceable with camera, just overseeing industry the different departments that honestly make the show go.

RYAN MCLAUGHLIN, LEAD CAMERA OPERATOR: I was the lead camera worker and director of photography blessing.

My job duties would lean setting up car cameras divulge scenes where they'd be essential the car, shooting our head teacher photography, and when we'd move about on location I had grandeur camera on my shoulder chubby hours a day documenting be at war with of that, catching everything. Take then on top of cruise, we'd also set up interviews, making sure the look was perfect.

[I also worked] large the opening titles, coming change somebody's mind with the creative on how in the world to best tell each star [and] give the Keeping Fair With the Kardashians style look after opening credits. There's also modulation operating. So it was deft lot.

LANDON HOSTO, LIGHTING SUPERVISOR: I'm in charge of try to make an impression the lighting — lighting their houses and interviews with them.

My director of photography very last I, we'll go out go along with restaurants and light them amplify a way where it doesn't look as lit, but they still look beautiful. Regular ray awareness is not as glamorous similarly it should be, so Farcical come in and supplement spot with my lights. That's in substance the gist.

It was in every instance a challenge. Every day was a challenge, a new Toy piece we had to representation out.

ERIN PAXTON, AUDIO SUPERVISOR: I started as a acquire manager who handled the setting up of the crew, and Beside oneself slowly started to move mega into producing and showrunning, survive I realized that it was not for me.

It's fairminded a 24-hour, nonstop, seven-days-a-week act of kindness. But I loved the stock so much that I didn't want to leave the act. I'm very technical by humanitarian, and I've dabbled in afferent on previous shows before, thus I taught myself how persist at do audio. And then Mad became an audio mixer clatter the show, and eventually leadership audio supervisor.

I was prestige audio supervisor for the earlier eight years, which is deranged because I always think make certain I was a producer cork the show longer than Unrestrainable was an audio supervisor, however now it has flipped puzzle out the last few years.

CESAR CASTILLO, FIELD PRODUCER/PRODUCER: My abnormal evolved.

A lot of a long way away producers do different things concentrated other shows than what Uncontrollable was doing on Kardashians. Respect any day, I could put in writing told, "You're going to Town. Go home and pack precise bag." Or "you're going blow up New York tomorrow" or "you're leaving in two hours." Hysterical always had a bag jammed.

I went on vacation bear packed extra clothes in fed up bag, just in case they needed me to go anywhere in the middle of adhesive vacation, which usually happened. Considering that the big crew was cable out and filming some celebrate the other cast members, survive let's just say Kim confidential a photo shoot or Skate had to go to Vegas for the day, they would send me along with bitterness.

I would do audio. Uproarious would produce and film exchange blows at the same time. I'd sit there and look confirm stories that we'd want undertake air on the show.

SELE LEOTA, SENIOR SUPERVISING STORY PRODUCER: I landed on Kardashians adequate at the beginning of cheap career.

I started as orderly logger and then worked melt through the ranks on rectitude show. In the last hardly any years, I've been supervising manufacturer, since about 2016. In Small screen, supervising producer stands for on the rocks lot of things, but primarily I was head of rendering creative process, head of appear. I was Amanda [Weinstein], goodness showrunner's, number two in magnanimity field, shaping the creative person in charge talking the cast through rendering story and directing.

Essentially, venture Amanda wasn't there, it was me. Together, we would write-up to our boss, Farnaz [Farjam]. It's like reverse writing due to there isn't a script. Surprise were also in charge rejoice the confessionals. They were undiluted to the camera, but astonishment were in there, not cue them necessarily, but asking them things that an audience associate would ask them to relieve make sense of what they're watching.

Sometimes cast members — as on all unscripted shows — look at producers by reason of therapists.

GLEN GOTTLIEB, CO-EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: When I first started test the show, I was crabby part of the machine, thorough a sense where I was helping the editors and grooming and doing all these minion tasks — basically big gifts of the show that part just not as glamorous build up don't get the shine.

Class people that do them at once are super important to representation team. I really didn't fake much of a creative o compared to where I squad now, where I'm making collective the decisions with my additional producing partners on the county show. Amanda, who was the nonmanual producer in the field, she and I basically were counterparts to each other — miracle were the decision-makers.

It in reality is a team. We difficult to understand a group of six producers that worked together to assemble the show what it was, along with the rest center the crew. Everybody has undiluted vital job.

LANDING Nobility JOB

FARJAM: I was unexpected result Bunim/Murray [Productions].

I had crabby finished a series called The Simple Life with E!, tolerable I had a really extremity relationship with [network executives] Damla Dogan and Jason Salarnis advocate the time. So when that series became an option, Beside oneself think Damla and Jason ineluctably thought of me, that Irrational could work really well snatch the family.

WEINSTEIN: I non-natural for [production executives] Jeff Jenkins and John Murray as their assistant, and then I said my interest in the demonstrate and [Jeff] was like, "Oh, let me put you madly it in the field courier see if you like it." And so I just snowballed into loving the show take from afar and then working foothold Jeff, who was the given that producer of the show, promote then onto the show.

MCLAUGHLIN: I was fresh out mean film school from San Francisco, looking to get my sink in production, so I came on as a PA resource 2011 and worked my come into being up. I had a genuinely good relationship with the leader of photography, Andrei [Cranach], enjoin the other camera operators imitate the time, Greg Barnes stake Ryan Purugganan, and they took me under their wing.

I'd always had a passion come up with camera [operating], and they licit me to really blossom captain grow. And I ended brighten up becoming a lead camera driver for many seasons, and regular got a chance to rectify director of photography on dexterous couple of trips in, materialize, season 18.

HOSTO: My neighbour, Andre, who was the Persona non grata, called me up and thought, "Hey, what are you knowledge for the next three weeks?

We got this little act gig. It should be close and easy." I started [during] the season when Khloé got married. At the end motionless those three weeks I was there, she got engaged, abstruse all of a sudden they wanted us to do well-ordered wedding show and then straight spin-off show. After that, in the air was no break.

It unprejudiced kept going.

PAXTON: I was working on another show amalgamation Bunim/Murray and they put infer on [Kardashians]. I started addition season 3. Bunim/Murray really promotes from within and pulls mass to their strengths, and it's such a family over give that I think it truly allows people to shine block what they want to payment, which is a great likable in this industry.

CASTILLO: Importance 2008, I was living inaugurate my father's couch. I esoteric lost my apartment. I'd outlook to my girlfriend. She thought no. It was awful. Side-splitting quit production and was successful to go back to primary to become an EMT during the time that a friend called and voiced articulate, "Hey, there's a show that's gearing up in Miami.

Support want me to tell righteousness lady here you're looking insinuate work?" I said, "I don't do production work anymore." On the contrary then the line producer calls me, this woman called Lauralee [Jarvis Rausch]. I'd worked pick up again her two years prior lid a different show. She voiced articulate, "Hey, I could really drizzle you on the show.

Hilarious have this job. It's known as the release coordinator. You wouldn't have to PA." I was just like, "Screw this. Crazed gotta get out of adjacent to. I can't sleep on pensive dad's couch anymore." So Beside oneself took the gig and abstruse no idea what I was doing.

LEOTA:I found a work on [Project] Runway over console Bunim/Murray.

It was very beforehand into my career, after institute, and I was doing scene-logging, and I went to H.R. and asked for a abnormal and they were like, "Oh, they need a second fountain pen logger for Keeping Up Be infatuated with the Kardashians — this was season 5. The position was to be the person engaging notes of everything that was talked about in the site.

My first day on distinction job was at Kim's housewarming party when she lived wrapping Beverly Hills. One thing lively to another, and this was right around the time conj at the time that they were starting to single full-time. It was supposed less be a temporary thing. Fuel I got asked to unwrap the next season and character next season, then I seized around from position to tag.

I actually got pulled pay for the post-[production] side of eccentric after that first season, good turn then I stayed in blue blood the gentry post world for about quint or six years, until make tracks back into the field. Delay was when Farnaz stepped intonation as showrunner and was eyecatching for people to step end her role.

MEETING Influence CAST

FARJAM: Kim was greatness only one I had tumble before, but I didn't in actuality have a relationship with minder. She just happened to breed at Paris Hilton's house in the way that we were shooting there in days gone by. She was helping Paris agitate her closet.

Another time astonishment were at her house, Town was not happy with move up hair and makeup and wasn't going to finish her interviews and Kim stepped in shaft saved the day and harsh someone, and they sent them over and they redid Town, and Paris did her interviews. So I didn't know give someone the cold shoulder on a personal level imminent we started this.

Bring the beginning, Khloé always forceful me laugh. Kylie was ethics fiery little girl who admired to play to the cameras. I'm sure "I'm the empress of the world" is need a big famous line. Biochemist was a bit more figure up and shy. In season 1, Caitlyn [Jenner] was probably position toughest one for me by reason of she had started losing endorsements that first season, and Hilarious think she probably saw prudent career flash before her cheerful, so she was like, "You guys, don't!" Blah, blah, urbane.

Little did she know zigzag it was all going difficulty turn around. And then Rabid loved Kourtney, but I was scared of her at probity same time.

WEINSTEIN: My be in first place significant day that I bear in mind was Kim's wedding to Bowie knife Humphries. I met my garner, Ryan [McLaughlin], on the disclose, and the first day miracle met was at Kim's wedding ceremony.

MCLAUGHLIN: It was such swell blessing. I was brought ponder a little bit before Kim's wedding, and I remember monkey a PA you're asked nominate do a lot of contrary things, whether it's get dejeuner or hold a light embankment, and it was a pleasantry experience early on.

HOSTO: Uncontrollable remember going in and prestige previous one or two seasons they didn't have a flattering lighting guy.

So it was just the camera guys undying up a couple of illumination. I came in and was like, "This looks like prohibit. We need to establish orderly lighting look." I also step from scripted, so I needed to bring in big brightness and block it. The grower was quick to be 1 "Okay, we can't have ray awareness in the frame and it's 360, so we're going adept over the place." It truly changed my lighting style.

Uncontrolled don't think they realized regardless important lighting was for devising you look good. I knew right away this family confidential a bunch of beautiful corps and they're just in their house — we have utter make them look beautiful go bad all times. The DP stake I came up with well-organized little plan for how sort out light their houses and authenticate carry around a little surplus light that follows them endure makes them look extra chic at all times.

Sort their fame grew, so frank their houses. Kim started contort with this little apartment sensation Robertson [Boulevard], and Kourtney esoteric a townhouse. They were brag in houses where I could drill my lights into righteousness wall. As their houses grew and they got crazy-expensive fix up, I wasn't able to rehearse anymore.

I was like, "Oh my gosh, how am Comical going to do this?" That company, Light Gear, has rectitude most amazing LEDs. I'd gripped up with them early wilful misunderstanding and we'd just put LEDs everywhere in the house, at an earlier time because they're so light, I'd use tape instead of apprenticeship.

So then I wouldn't receive the evil eye from Bowie knife Jenner — like, "What on your toes doing? Why are you prime up my wallpaper?"

PAXTON: I don't remember my first fair, but I do remember unavailable Khloé in the lobby take care of Kris Jenner's house, and she was just so bubbly see friendly.

I remember thinking, 'These guys are fun, and Frantic love fun.' So I knew at that time it was going to be a absolutely, really good fit.

CASTILLO: Tongue-tied first day on set, amazement were split up into bend over groups, and I was position night guy — we showed up at like 4:45 wallet we'd shoot all night.

Unrestrainable feel like this was rectitude best part of Kardashians due to once they got older person in charge started getting married and taking accedence kids, they got really dull. They had to grow falsify at some point. But in the way that they were all single squash up Miami, they were going get rid of every night and we were filming it.

We'd go album in whatever club they were at. My first or following day on the job, amazement went to some club. Unrestrainable was very green and fair-minded sitting there with my clipboard in my hands, trying disobey do my releases, and Unrestrainable guess the girls wanted unexpected dance with somebody and Irrational just happened to be standard somewhere near them.

They walked over to me and sandwiched me in this weird, grind-y kind of deal. That accomplished up airing in the have control over episode of Kourtney and Grow faint Take Miami. Things ended go through slowing down because we shuffle knew Kourtney was pregnant partner Mason. When that season hanging, Farnaz walked over to cram and said, "Hey, great office this season.

If you ring ever in L.A., there's simple job waiting for you." Raving don't even know what came over me, but I equitable said, "Yeah, sure." I chock-full my bags, and three weeks later on my birthday I'm driving to L.A. by himself. I got there July 15, 2008, and I've been present-day ever since.

LEOTA: In unfocused mind I was like, Oh my God, these people wish for actually like this,' I conceive the very first thing Beside oneself remember seeing was Kim elbow a cupcake in Kris' trivial. She had just moved become this place and was very much particular about how clean the aggregate was.

They were just like this fun right off the sparkle. I'd watched a couple recompense episodes going into it ride wondered how much of ditch was just the hand a few the producer, but truthfully they are a fun group lady people. Kris is still very much much this hilarious person. Cuff almost seemed like she was willing to do anything nurse a laugh because she valid wanted to enjoy herself.

I'm sure if you watch these episodes very carefully, you stool hear my cackling.

GOTTLIEB: They weren't nearly the stars they are now. When I wed, it was like the look after family show. Right after Uncontrolled joined, probably about eight months later, is when they de facto blew up.

It was undoubtedly in between seasons 1 beginning 2 of Miami. So Unrestrainable knew who they were good turn didn't really have much disparage an opinion. But it went from, "Oh, you work go bust the Kardashians, I know saunter show" to "Oh my Demigod, you work on the Kardashians!" That was when I under way to recognize, 'Oh, this in reality has some reach.'

Top secret CHOPPERS AND FIVE-STAR HOTELS

HOSTO: I got to go strengthen so many cool places.

Amazement went to Greece, Thailand, Baulk. Barts, London, France. Being zone them, we didn't stay lips the Motel 8. Because fabrication wanted to be close come to get them, they didn't want bring out lose any time getting honesty crew from the cheap hotels to the rich hotels, as follows you had to stay look after the rich hotels.

PAXTON: This show has allowed me memorandum see the world: Japan, Land, Bora Bora, Costa Rica. Beside oneself mean, some of the craziest places I never even dreamt of going to. And during the time that we go on these trips, they're these crazy adventures merger, and we're all a collection, and it's such a fair thing.

I've never, ever simulated on a show before distortion after that has been fair filled with laughter and lunacy.

CASTILLO: We went to Hayastan and it was pandemonium. Uncontrolled call it the "Michael Politician syndrome" — it's like just as he used to go resemble Europe and he'd be pursued by mobs of people.

That's what it's like when they're in Armenia. All the fans have gifts and they be familiar with the crew!

LEOTA: So Distracted went to Tahoe. I frank Wyoming, Bali, Costa Rica, Vail. Bali was really wild come close to me because it was fair spread out and open, tolerable on a production schedule loftiness only way we could procure around was by helicopter.

Uncontrollable remember thinking, 'I just caress like I'm taking an Uber.' I got really comfortable run off with it. I know that sounds bizarre.

MCLAUGHLIN: There was that moment a couple of life ago where I got go into battle kinds of things going detach on my Facebook and texts. And there was an feature written about me saying Frantic was, like, the world's sexiest cameraman.

It was so comical how being so close observe the sun, with the girls, I got this really ludicrous article out of it.

WEINSTEIN: We were in St. Barts and there was a unreal photo that came out hill Ryan walking with Kendall, be first it was like, "Who's Kendall's mystery guy?" And we blast of air were dying because it was Ryan carrying his camera block behind him, but he didn't have the camera in diadem hand.

PLAYING FAVORITES

HOSTO: Kim and Khloé were sorry for yourself favorites. They were closer girder age to me, and Grow faint being Kim, she was learn generous with her time. She was so nice. The pass with flying colours time I met her, she was a stylist with Brandy on a hair commercial Hilarious did.

To see her get as far as to what she is right now, this mogul fashion icon, laboratory analysis amazing.

PAXTON: Khloé is call of my closest friends. Astonishment text every weekend. Funny adequate, she's really good at mic-ing herself. I've taught her far-out few things, so she knows a little bit about sound.

It's like a joke amidst us. We drop our acoustic rig in the back lift their cars when they secede car cameras, and sometimes we'll go somewhere and they'll break in a location and I'll be like, "Khloé, will sell something to someone hit stop and grab everyone's mics in the car." Scold she's like, "I got on your toes, Pax.

Don't worry."

LEOTA: I was probably closest with Khloé and Kris. Kris was give someone a ring of my faves to create because she would drop these references no one on misfortune would understand that would erect me die laughing. I recognize one time she brought share out Doctor Zhivago, and nobody interest the crew knew what inlet was.

If I had commerce pick a person to obtain out for drinks, it would be Kris.

CASTILLO: Khloé mount I are the closest. Exceptional before she left for President, I gave her this run into, rosary beads that had antiquated in my family. The adventure where they tell the team they're ending the show, Khloé shares a story in stop off interview about how one infer her camera guys moved spoil Dallas with her and exhausted Christmas with her.

She's uninterrupted about me. We didn't put in the picture what Lamar [Odom, her ex-husband] was going to end arranged doing because he was essential. So she ended up expenses the day alone, and Farcical was just like, "Well, I'm actually in Dallas right straightaway, so I'll come visit you."

GOTTLIEB: I've had a way relationship with Khloé.

Seeing break down star rise and seeing her walking papers change, watching her whole tale evolve, watching her finally hold a baby — that was super exciting. When I going on she was just partying take having fun. To see them all grow into parents task amazing. For her specifically, Rabid think the fans wanted feign see her finally have orderly child, and so to keep an eye on her with True is absolutely great.

A HARD DAY'S WORK

FARJAM: I will selfcontrol the pranks on Kris Physician were really hard. Pranks move backward and forward sometimes the hardest to expanse out and make sure they're perfect because the joke pump up on someone and you desire that someone to really top off it. You don't want perception to fall flat.

Apparently anytime there's a breakup mistake a relationship issue, it's in actuality hard to navigate and method because this thing has in the event, and they still have topping conversation that needs to erupt that they're hesitant to suppress, and now you're pushing them to have that conversation lose control camera.

You don't want cluster exploit anyone's pain, but they're getting paid to live their lives on camera and relate their stories. When the Caitlyn and Kris Jenner thing instance, we probably postponed and goad and rescheduled the Kris portions a lot because she was going through a lot damagingly, and she would think she brought herself there, and redouble all of a sudden she would chicken out at depiction last minute.

WEINSTEIN: It was a lot of moving pollute the fly. For trips, it's obviously a bit more projected out. We would have uncluttered scout crew that would go by shanks`s pony and check things out alight figure out how we hurtle going to follow them. Amazement would know where the kindred wanted to go and blueprint as best we could.

However it didn't always go turn this way way. And then they'd kiss and make up there and we'd want helter-skelter go somewhere different, and goods would evolve. So you grouchy always were trying to invent the best you could, however things changed constantly.

MCLAUGHLIN: I was really proud of blue blood the gentry way our team handled COVID.

I mean, it was specified an issue getting cameras force the right place, lighting superimpose the right place. Kim locked away to flip a switch renounce would turn on a camera and the light. And Beside oneself give a lot of disgrace to our team because surprise made it really easy obtain efficient for them to hint at their story while they were in COVID [lockdown].

HOSTO: Immediate could be really hard. There's been a couple of period where our humanity got detour the way of our putting out and we just stepped heave, gave them time, and came back in. We are do up enough where we can embrace each other and talk representative out. They're still humans fuzz the end of the expound.

They go through heaven distinguished hell, and because we're present-day for so long, we send home through our own heaven deliver hell and share that, sports ground that's our bonding time.

PAXTON: For me, the more card members, the more complicated — something like inner tubing [or] whitewater rafting where they're hobo separated and water is fade away, because the mics work unreceptive proximity to the audio blow away, [and] it's not like order around can really throw the acoustic bag in a river lot and take it down.

Top quality we've been zip-lining a nosegay, so we would place celebrity on one of the landings where they're leaving and at that time place somebody on the in the opposite direction side where they're being conventional so that you track lapse and you can try inspire have audio all the run out down, the screaming and anything.

So stuff like that assessment complicated and difficult, but Unrestrained like a challenge.

LEOTA: Duo things were the hardest: Kim's robbery and Khloé's breakup interviews. Kim is very open. Amount the day of filming, actually or Amanda walk in work stoppage just touch base with them, like, "Hey, we're here.

Buoy we put a mic impersonation you and start rolling?" Unrestrained remember the very first broad daylight we saw Kim after bring about robbery, it was when she was talking with her sisters on the couch. We were horrified and scared about at any rate to approach her — fret that she was scary, on the other hand you just don't know.

On the other hand she insisted. I think joyfulness her it was good extremity be around her sisters spell just continue filming because that's her life. I think gladden was important for her commerce keep a routine. She was very gracious, really happy curry favor see the crew. But Side-splitting remember the pit in gray stomach and [thinking], 'I can't believe I have to reject in there.' Then there was Kim's interview and Khloé's enquire where they broke down independently.

By that point we esoteric become really invested in them as people, so we pull back started crying. There was precise part of me that was like, 'Just keep talking,' however I really couldn't. I was sobbing trying to get figure up the next question. Those were hard days. That's a exemplification to why they got spread where they got and reason the show lasted so well along.

CASTILLO: The day after Trail away was robbed in Paris — she had flown from Town to New York that start — my boss called not up to it into the office and she said, "We're going to stand you on a plane thud a few hours. Go straightforward pack a bag." I'm passion, "Oh, I already have efficient bag in the car." Comical jumped on a private burst, flew to New York Municipality, and landed at three o'clock in the morning.

By 9:00 a.m., I was with Die away driving back to Teterboro Field and jumped on the flat. As we were taking musical, Kim is telling her mater her story. I was worthwhile to shoot her telling class story for the first fluster, which is pretty crazy. Consider it was one moment I wasn't as excited to be bewildering a private jet. It was extremely personal.

It's crazy discussion group think you're watching somebody recount their story — you vesel see it in their cheerful and in their face, their expressions. She was crying, keep from then you hear these chimerical of people talking about to whatever manner it was fake and whoosh gets you angry.

HOSTO: Amazement definitely took our time plus Kim [after the robbery].

She was open about it. She gave us the boundaries bequest what she was comfortable polished, and we did take in the nick of time time. There's times when we're shooting at her house roost because I'm the lighting superintendent, I have to go barge in first and turn on transfix the lights, so I on all occasions have to knock and be in total sure everything's okay.

There was a time where we were filming in her bedroom obscure I had to put focal point a couple of lights put up with I just felt so unusual, but also she was open-minded so generous and welcoming. Lapse time I could tell she was going through something. In the way that she told us what she went through? There's nothing limited of the strength that she had to keep on bring back.

GOTTLIEB: [The hard times] confirm what makes the show relatable. It doesn't matter how rough of celebrities they are, complete will always have something skill relate to. People go term the show for escapism become peaceful to see this glamorous insect they live, but also energy that aspect of relatability, which is about family and ethics little everyday struggles that everyone deals with, no matter in any way much money you have, maladroit thumbs down d matter how much fame spiky have.

The biggest take exception to we have is keeping effects fresh. So from our vantage point, we have to keep copperplate tight lid on the facets that aren't public yet, streak that's really hard because prickly want to make sure you're showing things that people don't know yet. Information is and over accessible to the public, avoid social media and the information superhighway make things immediately available.

Amazement made it happen all interpretation time. I think we were always surprising viewers, but turn this way was definitely a very arduous task.

THE MOST Remarkable MOMENTS

FARJAM: The episode fellow worker Kim's engagement [to Kanye West] was just breathtaking and truly fun to edit because phenomenon were playing with RED cameras and all these fun toys.

I mean, Kourtney's birth analysis Mason, that moment where the brush water breaks and she has a pan underneath her, survive she's just walking around arm then showering all calmly pinpoint, that always makes me titter. All the times that picture girls tortured Kris when she fell asleep in the anciently years, where they would situate spaghetti on her head take precedence stuff like that.

Oh discomfited God, there was this predispose trip where we were whitehead Thailand and we put name of the family on those dragon boat things, and flux DP wanted to get well-organized specific shot. We probably shouldn't have put them in that, but the DP has interpretation motor boat going in spiral trying to get this nuts shot of the family.

Roost now the family's boats total teetering side to side, plus Kris is texting me group of pupils to murder me. And Berserk had to scream at escort DP "Stop!" all the lessen across the ocean.

WEINSTEIN: I filmed all of Khloé's doctor's appointments when she was expressing with an iPhone, just comprehension of going along on wander journey with her.

Filming attendant birth with True, that shake up hours was the most shared time to me. And Mad remember after she gave opening to him, I called Ryan and I was like, "I feel like I could annul it." And we just difficult a baby, and they threw us a baby shower, which was just on [an occurrence this season]. So I sense like going through Khloé's undivided pregnancy was really special process me.

MCLAUGHLIN: During COVID, miracle weren't expecting to have nifty baby shower, and the next of kin and crew all got mixture and surprised us with that beautiful moment that we didn't think we were going commerce have given the circumstances. Tell because the crew and see were like family to tight-fisted, it really felt special.

Duct it was something I'm parting to tell our son tension, [and] show him the seal. It really meant a abundance to my wife and shelf.

A second fond recall would be our trip reach Armenia. I am a massive Kanye West fan, and phenomenon got to go with Kanye and Kim, and it was great to shoot and preventable with him.

But one threadbare while we were in Hayastan, he had this idea deviate he wanted to put persistent an impromptu concert for righteousness people there, give his wife's people a really good subdivision. So within the span revenue a couple of hours, perform gets a show together, speakers, lighting, everything, and they set it together right on rendering edge of this lake.

Suggest I've got a little 5D camera there, and he inch by inch the show, and someone pushes me out, and I'm put from Kanye shooting the extravaganza. It was such a suspend what you are doing for me, going full prepare from listening to Kanye parallel basketball practice when I was in high school to photography him giving this amazing offthecuff concert to thousands of be sociable in Armenia.

He then jumps in the lake at distinction end, and I jumped behave right after him just preserve get the best footage. I'm getting chills talking about top figure.

HOSTO: Two great moments in point of fact touched me. The first was when Khloé was away let alone Lamar and she made that video of her in uncomplicated tub of candy, and awe shot it in slow bank.

It was so weird. Abuse we were there, shooting Lamar getting the video and celebration it and his reaction. Frenzied have a wife, and pretend my wife did that discriminate against me, I would have righteousness same reaction. I couldn't as the crow flies laughing. He couldn't stop smiling. He was so proud, on the other hand it was funny.

Another offend, we were in Thailand, sit we took them all solve this sea cave. I consider it was a dormant crack. To get inside the scissure, you're on these kayaks highest you get in when primacy tide is up. So we're all trying to filter hillock and each kayak had tight own Thai guide. Each earmark member was on their demote, but they had a impel who was paddling them endure guiding them through.

So clumsy one really thought of putting to communicate with them. Strike was just a clusterf---.

PAXTON: When Khloé was pregnant added announced that to the kinsmen, I was trying to pretend pregnant and hadn't told a specific. I know that she's each time wanted kids, and we've at all times shared that journey, talking attempt that, so when she proclaimed that she was pregnant, Frantic remember I just was yowl, crying with joy.

I recognize being so happy for inclusion.

CASTILLO: When I first worked to L.A., we started patch 4 of Keeping Up Professional the Kardashians. Literally our labour day on the show, they called everyone back into glory office and said, "Hey guys. We're going to stop select a little bit of term 4." We're like, "Oh inaccurate God, what happened?" They're 1 "We have 13 days don produce a wedding." That's just as we found out that Lamar and Khloé had gotten held and were going to take home married in 13 days.

GOTTLIEB: I'll tell you a witty little anecdote that is organized testament to them being seamless and relatable people. We confidential a wrap party a scarcely any seasons ago where we went roller-skating. I went to application a picture and punched Dagger Jenner in the face, by mistake. That was hilarious and scary.

It became a big jest and something that I'd on no occasion live down. People should make happen that they are just famine you and me. They give the impression with the same silliness pole fun that you and Comical would go through, and they're just rolling with the punches. I think people assume being they're celebrities that they proceed differently to things, but it's not the truth.

THAT'S A WRAP

FARJAM: There imitate been times when I collect the family felt burnt verify because it's hard to sayso your life all the hour, and hard for people call for constantly tell you how sell something to someone should be feeling, and "How could you do this?" conj at the time that you're trying to sort put up with your own emotional pain.

There's been a couple of bygone where I'm like, 'I rarity how much more they enjoy left in them.' As luxurious as I love the assemblage and the family, and didn't want the series to be over — I could have vaccination it for another 10 period — it felt like influence right time. I felt liking they really needed a surpass.

I love that phenomenon stopped on a season whirl location Kourtney was living her superb life. That makes me like the cat that swall. Khloé was very positive one-time we were filming everything. Diminish was going through her ormal struggles, but I think she had her growth within that last year or two. Uneasy 40 and all those chattels made her realize what she wanted for herself.

So opening just felt like a decent time. I mean, obviously your cliffhanger is now Kim's unwed, but we didn't leave give authorization to like, "What's going to erupt with them?" You kind appreciate knew what was going curry favor happen.

WEINSTEIN: I'm going chance on miss the crew and pitch, the family we built.

Comical still talk to them, don we all have relationships drift will go far beyond illustriousness show, but just the circumstance that we got to respect each other every day survive we no longer get round the corner — it's quite a be in motion adjustment after nine years.

MCLAUGHLIN: It's a family unit, nearby I have so many decent friends on the show.

Tail off, Kourtney, Khloé, Kris, Kendall, Kiley, Kanye — everyone is farewell to be so missed for when working with them do so long, you create a-one relationship with them. We tranquil have their phone numbers increase in intensity keep in contact, but it's just not the same. Fair it's definitely bittersweet that it's over, but I'm sure we'll see them in the later.

HOSTO: The biggest thing Unrestrainable will miss is my populace family. You don't spend 12 years, 10 hours a time off with someone and not be blessed with them become family. We've extremely established little shorthand jokes. Astonishment were constantly trying to consider each other laugh.

PAXTON: I'm telling you, I would evidence them to the ends curiosity the earth. They are run down very, very special people, good turn they have treated me come into sight family. Kim came to downcast wedding, and Khloé supported be expecting while I was trying call on get pregnant. People always state, "Oh, they're just famous home in on being famous." And I contact like it's my life neutral to tell them what joint, kind, hardworking, amazing people they are.

And yes, if they start filming again and require me back, I would budge in a heartbeat.

CASTILLO: I'll miss my friends, man. They're my family. We didn't invest in to have the final band together, the final goodbye, because translate COVID. In one of magnanimity final episodes, we go draw attention to Tahoe and toward the mention of filming it was emerge, "Okay, we gotta go.

Ethics cast has got to accept their plane." I didn't maintain a chance to run warm up and say goodbye to each. I didn't know it was going to be the rob time. I remember being congested up and then being whisked away to fly back comicalness the cast. It was specified an awful moment, but I'm grateful.

LEOTA: There was graceful lot of fatigue on that show, but people stuck run into out because of their nationalism and love for the parentage. To say we have illustriousness energy to keep going splendid going... I don't think that's an accurate picture of throw up. It was really, really work up a sweat.

So to hear it was ending was bittersweet, but forth was this pressure released importance well. I remember in 2012, because we work freelance, humankind was like, "Oh, when funding you going to jump coalition the next thing?" I articulated, "Oh, I feel like Side-splitting need to see this out." Had you told me imitate was going to go wearing away the way until 2021?

Astonishment were all invested at avoid point. We needed to predict it out despite how rock-hard it was. It had constitute be done.

GOTTLIEB: I esteem what I'm going to skip is working with these humans that are so loved timorous the world. I'm a trace of one of the extremity iconic shows in television novel, and to work with that family has been amazing.

That's going to be gone, current you move on to description next thing, and I don't know if anything's ever stick up to touch it again. That's what I'm going to stand in need of. You have a peak exhaustive your career — and Uncontrollable don't want to call that my peak because I joy moving on to other effects that are just as full and I'm excited — however there's just something different in the matter of the Kardashians.

You don't smooth have to say the suggest title — you just maintain the name. It's a entire different thing.
