Hollywood Execs Mull Career for Sarah Palin
Entertainment executives in Hollywood are debating and mulling a TV vehicle of some sort for Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The most talked about ideas so far range from her having a TV talk show like Tyra or Ellen to a reality TV or judge show according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Most industry insiders believe a talk show is the probable route for Palin. Although daytime syndication can be tough sledding, it would take a personality of her stature to break through the clutter, and her folksy red-state persona could be just the thing to connect with this female-skewing audience.
One producer/packager said he has held internal staff meetings about how to best parlay Palin’s appeal and skills, with a daytime talk show the likely vehicle. “I see her less as a variety-show host like Ellen (DeGeneres) and more of a single-topic host like Tyra (Banks), or maybe what Jenny Jones used to be,” said Chris Coelen, CEO of RDF USA.
Win or lose Sarah Palin is going to be around for decades to come. Conservatives in some circles are even secretly hoping for a McCain defeat so Palin can run as the Presidential candidate in 2012. I don’t see Palin on TV. I believe she prefers politics and being in the trenches.
