Discovery to pay THE PALIN $1M per Episode of her new series
Read Time:27 Second
Discovery Communications is reportedly set to announce that it will air former Governor Sarah Palin’s (R-AK) travelogue reality series about Alaska.
Reality TV king Mark Burnett apparently pitched the series to the major networks earlier this month, where is was soundly rejected.
Now, it seems, Discovery is in talks to give it a home.
The show will feature Palin, who will reportedly get $1 million per episode, as a tour guide around her home state, enlightening viewers on the “characters, tradition and attractions in the 49th state,” according to Variety.

Oh boy, I can’t believe that they actually trust her to be a tour guide in Alaska. Please don’t let your children watch this show, she’ll confuse the hell out of them. This may turn into a comedy act. Someone tell Tina to get ready for this one, some good material for Saturday Night Live.
Don’t cha just hate it?
This is what Palin is all about these days, getting rich. The book deal, the Fux deal,$200,00 speaking engagements and now this. It’s all about the money. Not as though there is anything wrong with getting rich, but don’t pretend it’s about anything else, like caring for the American people.
You are absolutely right Holte. At least we won’t have to entertain thoughts of her running for office any time soon, with emphasis on the soon…
There are a lot of people who like Palin and have nothing better to do than sit in front of a TV, so…maybe the show will do well. I imagine the Discover has crunched the numbers and tested advertisers. My guess is that they will order a minimum number of episodes and lock in enough advertisers to cover their initial costs. The real test will be if more episodes are ordered.
Very true Jerry. I read that Mark Burnett, the producer of all of those reality shows like Survivor and etc. shopped The Palin’s idea all over and no one wanted to touch her. Discovery finally caved.
I am going to stop watching the Discovery Channel if this happens, and it looks like it will. Unbelievable! The Palin should be giving John McCain oral sex. One million dollars per episode. We will never get rid of this beast…
ewwww, just ewwww. You don’t even have the courtesy of offering brain bleach to those of us that might need it after that visual. 🙂
LOL Jess. I will try to find brain bleach. That is the least I can do…
No worries, I just stuck a screwdriver through my forehead instead. It hurts so bad I don’t remember what I needed it for. 🙂
