Kardashian is no stranger to the spotlight, having dominated the reality TV genre with her family-based shows Keeping Up With The Kardashians and The Kardashians, which the family launched with streaming service Hulu last year.
In 2021, she even hosted the popular US comedy show Saturday Night Live, which reportedly impressed Murphy.

American Horror Story has a history of featuring well-known personalities, including Lady Gaga, Macaulay Culkin, and Angela Bassett.
Each season of American Horror Story is a self-contained mini-series, featuring different characters in separate fictional universes, though some are loosely inspired by true events. Fans eagerly anticipate the show’s 12th season, set to air later this year.
