Sarah Palin Hawking New Reality Series
December 12, 2011 at 6:37 PM Leave a comment
Sarah Palin thinks the public is so interested in her family life it’s willing to spend an evening or 20 sitting around watching hubby Todd ride around on a snowmobile, all to the tune of $1 million per episode.
The woman obviously has a massive ego:
Sarah Palin announced in October that she would not run for president, leaving her free to focus on her media career. But the GOP kingmaker and Fox News contributor is having some trouble selling a follow up to the Mark Burnett-produced Sarah Palin’s Alaska, her TLC show that bowed in November 2010 to a record-breaking 5 million viewers.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Palin and Burnett are pitching another reality series, this one more focused on Palin’s husband Todd and his career as a championship snowmobile racer.But for now, TLC owner Discovery Communications has passed, say sources. And A&E Networks, which entered into a bidding war with Discovery for Sarah Palin’s Alaska, also is not interested.
So far, networks have balked at the steep asking price – Palin’s Alaska went for north of $1 million an episode and sources say Burnett and Palin are asking for a similar payday for the follow-up.
Oy. Sad.
Newt is back so anything is possible but something tells me Sarah should move on.
