Palin & Burnett shopping reality series (HI, THR)
By Nancy Tartaglione
Sarah Palin has teamed with reality guru Mark Burnett to shop a TV docudrama about Alaska. EW's Hollywood Insider blog reported yesterday that it is believed Palin has already met with ABC, Fox and CBS while in LA for her spot earlier this week on "The Tonight Show." She was expected to meet with NBC Universal TV chairman Jeff Gaspin today.
Network sources confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter which says Palin and her family would be on-camera in the show, which one executive described as "'Planet Earth' meets Alaska meets her family," referring to Discovery's high-definition nature hit.
"There's an awful lot of interest in her," one executive told THR. "As a short-order series, it might work. It would depend on what kind of footage you get."
