Kathy Griffin takes aim at Sarah Palin


Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Comedian Kathy Griffin brought her "Life on the D-List" show to Sarah Palin's home state Friday, skewering the former Alaska governor at a raucous show in Anchorage.

Griffin was escorted on stage by Playgirl model Levi Johnston, who fathered a child with Palin's oldest daughter and is involved in a child support battle with Bristol Palin.

Earlier in the day in Palin's hometown of Wasilla, Griffin said she went to her house and left a note inviting the Republican leader to the show.

She asked the crowd to look around and see if anyone was doing a pageant wave.

Griffin welcomed news that Palin is trying to shop a reality show or docudrama about Alaska. She called that a "gift from God," all wrapped up with a ball on top.

Producer: Sarah Palin Reality Show Won't Be 'Salacious'


By Catherine Donaldson-Evans

Ready for Survivor: Wasilla? Don't count on it.

When producer Mark Burnett says he's shopping a reality show featuring Sarah Palin, he's not thinking bikinis, tiki torch-lit tribal councils or anything involving bug eating.

And nobody will tell the losing VP candidate, "You're fired."

"What it's not is a reality show following her around, getting up in the morning, or her family and all the salacious stuff," the Survivor and Apprentice producer tells The Associated Press.

What it is all about, in his vision, is along the lines of the Discovery Channel's Planet Earth. Picture the 46-year-old ex-Alaska governor visiting fishing boats – minus any deadliest catching – or taking a trip to a gold mine.

Says Burnett: "It's being in and experiencing the great charm and beauty of Alaska with Sarah Palin."

3. Burnett is reminiscent of Donald Trump: delusions that anything he touches turns to gold.

4. I've looked over his bio and he has some losers imo
Shark Tank
Bully Beatdown
Starmaker
How'd you Get So Rich?
Toughest Cowboy
Wedding Day
Amnesia
My Dad is Better Than Your Dad


It appears that they are mostly niche type shows.

5. Shark Tank isn't so bad.
I've seen several episodes. It was rather a hoot.

6. Sounds like a travelogue...
A better idea is to have Sarah get a new job every week, screw it up & end each show with the words: "I QUIT!" ;-)
