(TMZ) TMZ has learned that Khloe Kardashian is the front-runner to become the "X Factor" host and we're told the suits want it to happen.Sources intimately connected to the show tell TMZ ... Khloe is definitely #1 among the women who tried out and is generally considered the best in the entire pack of host wannabes.
Khloe did a screen test that went over well. The suits -- including Simon Cowell (who has probably never worn a suit) -- believe Khloe makes the most sense in terms of audience draw, since they've already invested heavily in Britney Spears and Demi Lovato to attract young viewers.
Producers will make a decision soon. The host won't appear until the live shows air, and that begins next month.
As for the odds ... as one well-connected source tells us, "There's at least an 85% chance she'll get the job." more on this story
