September 22, 2016 (Los Angeles, CA) –  Caitlyn Jenner and Transparent creator Jill Soloway opened up to ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT about Jenner’s highly anticipated cameo on the show.  Playing herself, which ET first reported back in July, Jenner appears in a dream sequence during a game of Wheel of Fortune. The moment is trippy, fun and is a way for Jenner to make a cameo “with a lot of humor,” Soloway says, “and invite a lot people to enjoy the confluence rather than question whether or not it's realistic.” 

Soloway goes on to explain how her relationship with Jenner formed, stating, “I had a beautiful phone call from Caitlyn after the first season, letting me know how much the show helped her and her family… As a huge Kardashians fan, that's potentially a high point moment in my life. I'm imagining Khloe Kardashian watching what I've written. I could die.”  Ultimately, “it wasn’t a question of if,” she adds. “We knew we were going to do it.”

When discussing what it was like to play herself onscreen, Jenner tells ET, “It was so simple really…My lines were already written! Doing reality TV, we have no script -- and it was great to work with such talented actors.”

As for season three, “I will definitely be watching,” Jenner says, “and hopefully my kids will as well. Transparent has really brought this issue forward. It's a subject that affects so many families around the world. It is so great to keep this conversation moving in the right direction. Nobody does it better than Transparent in such an entertaining and thoughtful way.”
