This is not an April Fool’s joke. Sarah Palin will take her first stab at television hosting when she fronts a new Fox News series, Real American Stories, premiering Thursday April 1 at 10pmET.
Guests for the first show include country singer Toby Keith, rapper/actor LL Cool J and Jack Welch. Get excited.
The show will “focus on a range of such stories including a Marine Medal of Honor recipient who gave his live to save his comrades.” But also there will be the celebrity guests – a very broad range of celebrity guests.

Hockey momma said knock you out.
I think she’s done as a politician and I liked her and had high hopes. Oh well. Next!
LL Cool K is one of the early rappers who didn’t do the gangsta thing.
He played Robin Williams half brother in the movie “Toys” years ago.
Aaaaah
Silly me. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, I get the exposure mantra - for someone who wants to be a journalist, which is where she started out of college, right?
Too much exposure in politics is a bad thing though. It just gives the left more soundbytes to use negatively.
Overexposure was my first thought as well. I like her, but don’t want to see her every time I turn on the tv.
Personally, I think it would serve her more to take a bit of a leave, spend time with her family, and come back again.
Why would this guy write ‘this is not an April Fool’s joke’? What’s not to believe? Geez. I guess he wants to determine what Sarah may and may not do, huh?
we worry for palin alot. We put all our hopes and dream from this nightmare on her shoulders, but if she does not run for 2012, everyone will be be depressed
Oh great, more celebrities!
As I said when she signed up with FOX, she is not running.
Otherwise she would be touring and speaking overseas.
Think Ronald Reagan! Movie star - Governor - Potus!
IMHO We have enough *one-trick* ponies in Washington DC.
Sarah is not a phony pony - she’s a steeple chasing work horse;)
You gotta be kidding me.
Ronald Reagan says “Hello!”.
What do you think Reagan did in between losing to Ford in ‘76 and running in ‘80?
“...Look what overexposure has done to the kenyan...”
Yes, Sarah needs to be careful to keep her forums positive and not let herself become “a television personality”. Even the best TV types are still not what Sarah can be.
One of the driving forces in elections nowadays, is the "youth" vote. The young are very idealistic, don't know squat about history or thinking logically, want a bunch of free stuff, and will vote for whoever is "cool". You've got to have that group energized when you enter into a campaign. I'm convinced that what helped BJ Clinton win was going on Arsenio Hall and playing the saxophone. I was in my 20's at the time, and even though I didn't trust the Democrats, even I felt that was just "too cool".
I dunno. I mean, it’s kind of like being a porn star. If someone has been a rapper, it’s hard to imagine that they can be a real person, and not this Dennis Rodman kind of pierced, tatooed freakazoid that no normal person would ever want to get within 20 feet of. If you go to a concert it’s sort of like going to the zoo. Except Marky Mark. I guess he grew out of it ok, I like Entourage.
This IMO isn’t just overexposure—it’s wrong exposure.
I tend to agree. There’s very little Foreign Affairs experience to be gained in documentaries of Alaska and Celebrity Features.
