LOS ANGELES — Kim Kardashian West and Kendall Jenner may star in "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," but can they keep up with the jokes?
According to "Entertainment Tonight" and Cosmopolitan, the celebrity sisters took the stage Sunday night to present the Emmy for best competition series – and drew some possibly unexpected laughs in the process.

Kardashian West appeared straight-faced as she began, "Our family knows firsthand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves."
As chuckles erupted from the audience, a wide-eyed Jenner added, "Telling their stories, unfiltered and unscripted."

Eeeek. There was a very loud laugh from the audience when Kim Kardashian was presenting. Laughing at her; not with her. It was uncomfortable (and, in my opinion, uncalled for) in the room. #Emmys
