AsburySkinsFan Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/TV/03/24/sarah.palin.reality.tv.ppl/index.html?hpt=T2 Good news for those who can't get enough of Sarah Palin: The former Alaska governor -- who's now a Fox News commentator, best-selling memoirist and Republican campaign machine -- has a deal in the bag with the Discovery Channel, a source at the network confirmed to PEOPLE. According to everyone from Variety to The Washington Post, the series "Sarah Palin's Alaska" has been picked up for a reported $1 million-plus per episode. Variety says Palin's project with reality TV rainmaker Mark Burnett "will center on interesting characters, traditions and attractions in the 49th state -- with the ex-VP candidate as a guide." A spokesman for Palin referred questions to Burnett's office, which did not return requests for comment. Neither did a Discovery spokesperson. So much for the 2012 run, she's proving over and over again she's all about the benjamins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidmorals Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 So much for the 2012 run, she's proving over and over again she's all about the benjamins. Yeah, but she probably quits the show halfway through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 She may be one of our nation's brightest politicians afterall. Most of our politicos have to serve for years before they get the kind of renumeration she's gotten... and then they actually have to work and weedle as lobbiests. Man, does she know how to work the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboDaMan Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 A million clams an episode? Really? I mean, it will no doubt get mad ratings the first few weeks for the freak factor if nothing else. Maybe help push Discovery back into people's rotation if its slipped off. But at some point its another travelogue, and that's some serious coin, hope she banks it while she can.

ljs Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I told ya so...told ya she wasn't running for president. and those who ***** about her making money, ya'll are just jealous. Have at it I say- make all the money you can. FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskinjoe Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 She doesn't need the money. How much do you think her book returned? Perhaps she's lining her coffers to finance a run? A million plus per episode? How many episodes per year? How many years until the election? Hmmm... I still wouldn't brush her aside so fast. Being bashed on TV and the internet does not translate to a majority... It is only a majority from the perspective of the viewer or reader. Find out how much $$$ Hillary Clinton still owes from her failed 2008 campaign and perhaps it will put things in perspective for you. The founding fathers put their personal AND financial lives on the line during the Revolution. Maybe she will to... Boy... she sure is campaigning across the country a whole bunch... forming relationships with potential future congressmen and senators. Yea. She's just spending money from her book to make money. That's it. You betcha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky72 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Will they be shooting animals from helicopters in this Discovery Channel series? Yeah, that's my question. I like nature shows and will likely tune in, but if it turns into a hunting show or a platform to push any political views forget about it. I might be a tad inconsistent, I watch fishing shows or crab-fishing shows. But crabs and fish seem a lot less sentient than large mammals like wolves or bears so hate those hunting shows. Even though I love to eat dead pigs, which are smarter than both. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, she's doing a lot of living off the land lately. She's got to be careful though what with the designer clothes and $800 eye glasses. She's a real woman's woman.
