During the show, he discussed the program’s “amazing run” and thanked the entire Kardashian family – specifically, Kris Jenner.

“I almost feel like I’m family with her, and she is truly an amazing partner and I think one of the savviest business people on the planet. Think about how she manages family and how she manages an incredible empire. It’s no small task, and she has really propelled that franchise and those businesses into what they are today,” he said.

He also talked about the start of the show 14 years ago, when Kris invited him to film a family barbecue. Ryan said the footage was “magic” from the start and he pushed E! to give the show a chance.

“Thank you to the Kardashians, who changed entertainment forever, I think,” he went on to say.
