Sarah Palin will make a surprise appearance on "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien" Friday night.

Security was thick around the NBC stage Friday afternoon, while the former vice presidential candidate was hurriedly rehearsing a skit.

Palin, who ensures high TV ratings wherever she goes, was a last-minute booking for NBC.

Sources say members of the NBC audience were led outdoors when first Palin arrived for rehearsals in order to keep her appearance a secret from them. Sarah Palin to appear on 'Tonight Show' By Paul Bond

She posted last night on her twitter page that she was doing a “Media segment” then returning home to Alaska..people were speculating on C4P that she would be going on The Tonight Show, guess its true. Hey Hollywood Reporter, thanks for ruining a good surprise, but now I know to watch it since I don’t normally watch that show

Word leaked out about the same time to a couple other outlets.

The New York Times actually had it first at 7:19 p.m., followed by The Wrap and then The Hollywood Reporter.

I think many supporters suspected some late show appearance as a finale.

It’s good. Palin is interesting and has the charm to mitigate the view that some may have from the media that she is a one-dimensional ogress.

Oh of course. I just hope the audience is respectful. This is LA, liberal looney capital, but hey, when Rush was on Leno they cheered him so I guess anything is possible. Letterman is gonna get owned tonight

From The Tonight Show website:

Ladies and Gents: Tonight's show is going to be amazing. I know I say that EVERY night, but tonight I mean it... Because we've got a very very special guest showing up tonight! Who is it, you ask!? I can't say! Not even the majority of our staff will know who it is until our mystery guest arrives this afternoon. No joke! This is top secret stuff!! However, because you guys are awesome, and I love you all... We'll be posting an early clip of their appearance tonight right here on our site!! Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook for an announcement of when the clip is up!

It's called killing them with kindness.

If she wants to run for President, she's going to have to go through the liberal gauntlet.

Nothing to do with Sarah but I just got a call from the Republican Party about an hour ago and man I bet that guy is sorry as hell he called me. I gave him an ear full. Stuff like , I wont give a dime to the Party until they grow some spine and balls. And told him that I quit telling people that I was a Republican and now say that I'm a Conservative. Then I named a bunch of pantie waste politicians like Graham, Newt, McCain, Huckster and more and anyone from now on that wants to “reach across the aisle” is going to be gone in the near future. I even told him I was a Freeper and there were a few thousands over here that feel the same. When my daughter got home I told her all I said and she said they also called her boyfriend and he told them about the same thing but added why are they not fighting for the Constitution. I was hot by the time I hung up.

The audience will be comprised of out of town people too and I’m sure they will all be told to mind their manners. In fact, I will be disappointed and quite angry if she doesn’t receive a very hearty welcome.

Many independents have molded their opinion of Sarah Palin exclusively from MSM. Going on shows like Tonight is a great way to change them.

I remember when Rush was on Leno and I thought he would be booed out of the building, instead I was shocked to see that they cheered him and he had a great time. This seems to be just a skit and not an interview, pretty much shocking the audience since he won’t even be announcing it. Even though they are out of towners, they are still liberal, its the same crowd that goes on Letterman, laughing at jokes about Conservatives but booing at jokes about Obama

Should be interesting, especially since Conan has been towing the NBC line and bashing Palin every chance he gets. Late Night with Conan was a pretty good show. His “Tonight Show”...not so much. The new gig has really exposed the obvious northeast liberal elitist in him. Before/during/after the election he wouldn’t touch Obama with a 10 ft. pole...but you could always count on a nightly smear on Palin/Bush/Cheney, etc...especially Palin. For that reason I stopped watching all together.

‘Nightline’ Continues Streak Against Letterman, Conan

ABC’s “Nightline” beat NBC’s “Tonight” Show and CBS’ “Late Show,” which was in repeats, in both Total Viewers and the 25-54 demographic last week, making it five weeks in a row that the program has averaged the largest audience of the three.
