Another Sarah Palin Reality Show? Maybe Not
Email
Sarah Palin, reality TV persona non grata?
Sarah Palin effectively chose her media career over politics when she announced in October that she would not run for president. But it appears the media may no longer be interested.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former Alaska governor and current Fox News contributor is shopping a new reality show. Like her first venture, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” which aired on TLC in 2010, Palin is reportedly collaborating with genre guru Mark Burnett. One major difference: This series will focus on Palin’s husband Todd and his career as a championship snowmobile racer instead of the Mama Grizzly herself.
THR claims both TLC and A&E Networks passed on the project. A representative for TLC declined ABCNews.com’s request for comment, a rep for A&E was unaware of any new pitch from Palin and Burnett. When asked if the network would be interested in a new Palin show, the rep said, “We wouldn’t comment on something like that.”
Part of the problem could be the price per episode. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” sold for more than $1 million an episode, and Burnett and Palin are seeking similar compensation for their new show.
But the reported cold shoulder could also be because of Palin’s receding public profile. She’s laid low since removing herself from 2012 presidential speculation and her frequency of Fox News appearances has declined, reportedly because she chose to announce her 2012 decision on a radio show instead of the network.
Representatives for Palin and Burnett did not respond to ABCNews.com’s requests for comment.

I’ve always thought she was intellectually stupid but I definitely thought of her as much more savvy than this! She should have KNOWN that this would happen when she did not run. I’ve lost money on her because I was 100% sure she would throw her hat in the ring (even with her knowing that she would lose) so that she could keep this gravy train rolling. She didn’t and just as predicted things are shutting down. What could she possibly offer that is of interest? FOX appearances slowing? I don’t think it has to do with her annoucement but more that she is no longer relevent. Next to dry up are the speaking engagements. She REALLY blew this from a marketing and financial perspective..

Another desperate act by a fading (and failing) conservative media star

Sarah, thank God in Heaven, your 15 minutes is up!
Bye, bye.

Oh yeah I’d tune in that show provided it didn’t air the same time as Gilligan Island or Gong Show reruns.

Sarah who???

Sarah Palin has been overshadowed the last few months by news of the Kardashian marriage and the Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher split. I have to say that as non-significant those things are in the grand scope of life on this earth, it was nice break from Sarah Palin. I hope that she and her daughter both leave the spotlight and go back to Wasilla or whatever hole they sprung up from.

Why not. lol
Heck, put the whole money chasing grifter family in this one. She got enough delousional followers that will gladly watch and give up their hard earned money buying the crap she selling. I still can’t believe there was that many people in this country that actually thought this annoying idiot would put herself on the campaign trail for president. I wished she would have because that would have been the icing on the cake for this circus called the Repub primaries. lol

Honestly, ever since the Glenn Rice story broke Sarah has been persona non grata. The election announcement was just convenient to keep her off FOX.

without the presidential bid, she is just not that interesting…….
Don’t care about her, her family, TV, books, movies, CDs, anything Palin….
she screwed her fans over by not running, and she is just not interesting….
they already cancelled the bristol show before it even aired… no one is interested in this clan….
Now that she’s nearly broke, she wants the limelight, but no one cares anymore

Wait a minute. I thought her next project was to sue that Author because she claimed he lied about her.

I doubt it! Her 15 minutes are up!

Say goodnight, Sarah.

Finally…this annoying dingbat’s time is up! She’s no longer in the news every single day. She no longer makes headlines and she no longer has enough stupid people following her dumb as s to run for office. Maybe I won’t have to hear from this total incompetent moron for the rest of my life. Thank God!
Posted by: Michael | December 13, 2011, 1:37 pm 1:37 pm
I think her whole political career has been aimed at getting famous. One more media whoe trying to get and keep her face recognition. If she ever did become President, I would become convinced that USA was truly a lost cause and move to Canada
Posted by: Greg | December 13, 2011, 1:39 pm 1:39 pm
I totally would have watched Sarah Palins Alaske if one of the episodes had included her getting mauled by a grizzly. Just like I would watch Jersey Shore if they all got taken out in a drive by shooting. For those that would be offended, I am being sarcastic!
Posted by: Greg | December 13, 2011, 1:42 pm 1:42 pm
Sarah Palin’s 15 minutes was over months ago. She couldn’t get another “reality” show even if she changed her name to Sarah Kardashian.
Posted by: Whyzupp | December 13, 2011, 1:42 pm 1:42 pm
Who cares……nobody. This woman is two dogs short of a porch.
Unfortunately, there is a very small segment of the RepubliKKKon party
that are too gullible (ignorant??) that feel she can do no wrong. These are
known as PPF’s or Poor Pathetic Fools.
Posted by: Beckerhead | December 13, 2011, 1:58 pm 1:58 pm
As a viewer, I would like to see a reality show about how Sarah Palin deals with the fact that her husband had an affair with Shailey Tripp. Now THAT’S must watch TV!
Sarah dahling – put your wig back on and go suck on a Bailey’s.

If Todd needs the money, maybe he will tell the truth about Sarah’s faked pregnancy.

Go away Sarah, nobody cares anymore

I’d rather watch a Paris Hilton reality show. Hilton, like Palin, is famous for doing nothing, but at least Hilton is hot!
Posted by: tstorm | December 13, 2011, 2:23 pm 2:23 pm
Thank God this country has finally grown weary of this woman. Her 15 minutes of fame had stretched into a full hour and she had more than overstayed her welcome. But this is what happens when we fool ourselves into believing we’re a diamond when we’re just a cubic zirconium.
Posted by: martha moore | December 13, 2011, 2:23 pm 2:23 pm
I’d watch if it showed Todd visiting his masseuse/prostitute Shailey Tripp and then pimping her out to his buddies. Or maybe a show on they faked Sarah’s pregnancy.
The u-no-what is about to hit the fan since the Anchorage Police Dept. was caught red handed covering up for the Palins by putting out a press-release written by Palin’s lawyer and then lying about returning Shailey Tripp’s (Todd & Sarah’s masseuse) belongings. All charges were dropped against her and she had to get TWO court orders to force the police to give her stuff back. As this story is coming out now famed forensic experts are looking at her laptop, cellphones, etc. to see if Palin’s Anchorage Police tampered and erased information since they weren’t shreddable like the emails. Check out both Malia Litman’s and Shailey Tripp’s blogs for all the juicy details!

To all of you idiots that have rediculed Palin for her lack of brain, intelligence, or physical prowess, you yourself are too stupid to see that she is worth about 12 MILLION, give or take a couple. I know you will say that she stole it, conned it, spread her legs for it, and whatever other insults that you can sling, but the fact is; she had the intelligence to make it, and still to make more. None of you can say the same.

all you man are so sceared of palin , becouse she makes sense , and locks so mutch better then your wifes, and you women dont like her becouse you cant put your boots next to her , becouse you just average locking dumm american idiots,
Posted by: hedy | December 13, 2011, 2:40 pm 2:40 pm
Ha haaaa! Her 15 minutes of fame is dwindling. 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 …. You’re done Palin. You’re no longer relevant. I suppose she realizes that, and THAT’S the reason she’s shopping for a reality show for her HUSBAND insteand of herself. But, who gives a rats’ butt about Todd and his snowmobile racing? Couple that with the fact that they are asking for $1 million per episode …. UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. Seemingly, the networks realize that, as well.

Can we please get rid of this idiot and her family…I can see their BS from my house.
Posted by: Tahoe Craig | December 13, 2011, 2:57 pm 2:57 pm
you guys just can’t get enough of bashing her. If she ran for President you would criticize her, if she doesn’t run you will criticize her. If she is such a non-factor than why do you keep writing about her. Get a life, and move on to some other topic. There is certainly much that you should be covering, instead of devoting time and energy to your hatred of Sarah Palin. You really show your ignorance here. Again I say, get a life and leave the Palin’s alone! DONE!!!

At first I thought Saara would be able to make a difference> NOW I am disappointed with her as she seems more to be a attention starved teen. She seems to be a gamey person with all the tactics she uses keeping people on the edge of their seats only to be disappointed and frustrated with her lack of respect for the people that helped get her where she is currently. I think it is good NOT to hear from her and wish she would just stay on the sideline and stop playing games!
Posted by: Leilani | December 13, 2011, 3:00 pm 3:00 pm
I am sorry but I like Sarah no I take that back I am not sorry I like her. She is just a down home woman that with the right direction could be a heck of a leader. She didn’t need 15 mins for fame. The press and people with little or no education wouldn’t like her. She is above all of you. Lets just let the press pick the next President like always what do you say dummies.

Say goodbye to Sarah, oh how we can only hope! Post by LEN only proves our point!

Sarah Palin? The name sounds vaguely familiar but doesn’t ring a bell. Who is she? Was she a child star that couldn’t transition to adulthood and OD’d on horse tranquilizers?

I’ve always thought she was pretty and she does have style, but she needs to step back now. She made her money and maybe there is another book or two out there, but that’s all I see for her.

who cares about stupid Sarah Palin
Posted by: andy | December 13, 2011, 4:21 pm 4:21 pm
I would like to see her do a sitcom on politics and special interest groups that change the direction of our country. Such as Lobbyist, Foreign Governments, Drug Companies, Unions, Hollywood, Wars and why they are started. The list is unending and the TRUTH is what the American People would see first hand.

aww, poor palin can’t get anyone to accept her desire for another reality show. welp sarah, you prepared the bed, sheets, pillows and blanket, NOW SLEEP IN IT!!! now if only we can get the kartrashians to fade away…
Posted by: Jax | December 13, 2011, 4:31 pm 4:31 pm
Sarah is probably one of the top five VISABLE people capable of managing the affairs of our government. The problem is that the media functions like God, it makes and takes away, destroying any thought contrary to it’s own. Unfortunately for we Americans the media supports Mr. Obama who wound not even make it on anyones list of any number.

I’m sure Roger Ailes, CEO of FoxNews is figuring out a way like he did with Glenn Beck to get rid of Palin. Here is what Mr. Ailees said about Palin in the past: “Roger thinks Palin is an idiot. People like her haven’t elevated the conservative movement.”
So her usefullness to FoxNews and to Mr. Ailes is over so now how do you fire her without losing loyal fans for FoxNews. Mmmmm, a sticky situation for Mr. Ailes but Mr. Ailes didn’t get where he is at by being timided so soon Palin will be fire from FoxNews.

She has been supplanted by Michelle Bachmann as the dumbest politician/public figure in the Republican Party. Bachmann is not only dumb, but crazy, so even polling 1% she’s a better press draw than Palin has become.

I’ll bet a reason she didn’t run is so now she can say, “if I had, I would have beaten him.” If she’d actually run she probably wouldn’t have even been the candidate.

I hope she is sad, no one wants her anymore.

Wasilla is going to get REALLY boring now that you’re over Sarah. Maybe you should fake another prenancy to cover for one of your daughters again liar. Trig is NOT her baby…that much was always crystal clear. Your bigotry and irritating voice will not be missed…good riddance loser.

To those who seem to think the ability to hustle a buck means someone is worth paying attention to, I say if you’re fool enough to “buy” into that (pun intended), well, it’s your money. Do you also think Paris Hilton is smart? Are the Kardashians smart? Is Snookie smart? They are all worth millions for one reason or another. Doesn’t mean any of them are worth paying attention to. Circumstances made her lucky enough to become governor, something that would never have happened in any other state in the union, and her notoriety in being elevated from nowhere into the presidential campaign attracted lots of people willing to pay her for her celebrity status. That’s how she became worth 12 million. (Funny how that money doesn’t seem to be able to cover her ethical legal bills, BTW, she is still begging for help with that, and neither did she pay for her summer’s “family vacation” on the pseudo-campaign bus.) All she is now, is famous for being suddenly famous and the people who were flocking to her before have found someone else. It won’t be long before FOX news dumps her too, mark my words.

Oh I love these Pathetic liberal voices, as if they know anything.When you have core beliefs you are always going to have followers and haters, so Mrs. Palin as well as Tim Tebow will be on the scene for a long while.
