While the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star has previously emceed radio shows in Dallas and Miami, this will be her first full-time TV hosting gig.

“The rumors are true…” she tweeted Tuesday evening. “I will be hosting @TheXFactorUSA this season!!!”

She also wrote on her blog, “I’m a huge fan of the show so I literally fell over in my chair when I heard that I was being considered for the role.”

“The show already has such an incredible panel of judges and it is truly an honor to have been given this opportunity to work with them,” Kardashian continued.

She added, “I’m thrilled, overjoyed and of course a little nervous about this new step in my career, and I can’t wait to get started. Wish me luck!”

Lopez, who is a regular correspondent on “Extra,” tweeted, “Alright guys, it’s official… I’ll be hosting @TheXFactorUSA!”

“Looking forward to working with @SimonCowell and the rest of the amazing team,” he added.

They’ll debut when the show begins its live portion later this fall.

    I started the XFactor this year but found it even worse then last year. This just confirms I made the right decision in stopping watching it.

    Khloe is great and Mario is cool but I’m not so sure they’re the right fit for the show.

    I think Khloe is a refreshing addition to the show I may even watch the show now, Mario is okay but I really like Khloe, I think she will do a wonderful job. I wish them both all the luck in the world.

    Oh, cool. I think it’s a good idea. I think they will both make a lively pair. And being an announcer has nothing to do with judging contestants. It’s about being able to ‘sell’.

    Wow! I sure enjoyed watching The X Factor. Sorry but not a Kardashian fan & will no longer watch it.

  • Lola

    I have no problem with Mario. But the fat, untalented in everything Kardashian, judging talent? Since when? She doesn’t have any, what is she going to use as a measuring stick? Her fat arse?

  • Truffles

    Just lost a long time fan. Enuf with the Kard-ass-ians.

  • Nautilus

    really? a person with no talent host a talent show? that’s like a vegan hosting a BBQ show.
