Discovery Picks Up The Sarah Palin Show

Via Ben Smith, word of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s next big payday: “Discovery Communications is expected to announce that it has won the Sarah Palin tourney. The cabler had been a front-runner to land the untitled Alaska-themed series, to be produced by Mark Burnett Prods…. Show is believed to have fetched more than $1 million an episode — a hefty pricetag for a freshman unscripted cable skein.” But what might the show really be about? Funny you should ask.
