LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Sarah Palin -- reality TV star?

Television

The former Alaska governor is teaming with uber-producer Mark Burnett ("Survivor") to shop a reality series about her home state, network sources confirm. Palin and Burnett made the rounds at least three of the major broadcasters (NBC, ABC and Fox) while in Los Angeles for her taping of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" this week.

Palin and her family would be on-camera in the show, which one executive described as "'Planet Earth' meets Alaska meets her family," referring to Discovery's high-definition nature hit.

"There's an awful lot of interest in her," one executive said. "As a short-order series, it might work. It would depend on what kind of footage you get."

1. She should have like, 8 or 9 more kids. It would help her chances.

:woohoo:

[Soylent Brice]

8. only if she's going to be on TLC. otherwise,

she just needs at least 1 "D" list celebrity (maybe Stephen Baldwin - should fit right in), and it should take off.

[RockaFowler]

2. What interest??

I guess if people like watching train wrecks. The reason why she's on all the time is because the MEDIA wants her around. Her approval ratings are in the toilet and she's a do-nothing idiot who quit. I guess she's shopping around a better way to quit!!!

3. I saw that headline and thought it was going to be about Sarah Palin shopping. n/t

4. OK I might tune in for the exorcism episode

5. TVLand seems to be reality show's dumping ground, so look for it there

[DrDan]

6. what a great way for her to get exposure - and to control the exposure

Ronnie had his "Death valley Days"

7. She will fit in with all the other trashy, stupid "reality" series.

[Myrina]

9. ... just watching her on Leno, you could see THAT is what she wants ...

... she doesn't want to hold elected office - that would be work - she wants to be in front of the cameras. She wants to be "a star".

:puke: :puke:

10. What? A series watching Sarah Palin shop? I thought she had minions to do her shopping for her.

11. Sarah Palin has huge litter of children after ballroom dancing wife swap!

[Brother Buzz]

17. Insert a balloon commandeered by a challenged kid in there somewhere and you'd have a smash hit

[66 dmhlt]

12. The way Comcast endlessly promotes her on their front page ...

I already think she has one.

(God, I HATE Comcast!)

13. Sure hope Levi puts a stop to having his son on TV

[LiberalFighter]

14. A reality series based on her state? Alaska is big but big enough for a reality show.

This would be one show we would need a campaign to hassle the network.

[gatorboy]

15. What was it again about Republicans hating celebrities?

Oh, wait. It doesn't count for conservative cretins.

Never mind!

[Raschel]

16. Funny that they call the President messiah when they worship Palin like she's the Virgin Mary.

Projection I guess.
