For better or worse, Variety reports that Sarah Palin appears ready to ink a deal with the Discovery Channel to get her own reality show. (For better: this means she’s probably giving up any thoughts of running for any type of office now. For worse: She’s going to be on TV regularly now.) Discovery is willing to shell out an unprecedented $1 million per episode for the Alaskan travel show called Sarah Palin’s Alaska. The show will be co-produced by Mark Burnett, the creator of Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?, which is also a name we would have accepted for Palin’s show.
TLC, which is owned by Discovery, is one of the networks in the running to actually air the show. Sigh. Remember when that “L” in TLC stood for “Learning”? [Photo: Getty Images]
