Sarah Palin to host the "Today" show. Really? Eva Braun wasn't available? [View all]

I'm sorry but morning shows on the main networks (ABC/CBS/NBC) should be as little about politics as possible. Do you think Sarah Palin is going to go in there and be non-partial about the topics discussed? Or will she go in there with her old and tired tirade about how awful the 'liberal media' is and how 'wretched' Barack Obama is. Or if you're going to put someone like Sarah Palin in the 'Today' show why not pair her up with someone who counterpoints her like Dr. Jill Biden or Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood.

Sarah Palin to Host 'Today' Show, Take on Katie Couric

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will guest host on NBC's "Today" show this Tuesday.


The Peacock network may have seen ABC up the stakes in the morning news show ratings poker game. Last week, ABC announced that Katie Couric will be filling in for Robin Roberts on ABC's "Good Morning America" this week.

"I see this as a good opportunity to bring an independent, common-sense conservative perspective to NBC. We’re 'going rogue' and infiltrating some turf for a day,” Palin told Breitbart News.
