The audience groaned as the comedianpoked fun about the former Olympian's rumored transition from male to female. "We gotsome groundbreaking performances here too, tonight," Jamie began.

Khloeshared a similar sentiment, expressing her disappointment in aninterview with The Insider With Yahoo! on Thursday. "I think it's very mean, but you know, I wish him allthe best. It is what it is," said the 30-year-old. "I know Jamie, so I think that's also why that's a really low blow. But, hey, guess that's what he felt the need to do for a little press."

Given all thepublicity the family has received recently, the interviewer asked the brunettebeauty if she would go back and do the show again knowing all that she knows now about living in the public eye. "I would. I feel like this is our life and this is what we signedup for," she said. "When things are good, you definitely want to talkabout it. When it's bad, you have to know that comes with the territory. It'snot always bunnies and butterflies. Sometimes there's rain."
