The former candidate for the vice presidency was seen with Burnett, and an insider confirmed that she met with reality topper Mike Darnell sometime last week at Fox (where she and her family ended the day by visiting American Idol. Palin stayed in the green room). She also stopped by CBS to meet with NBC Universal TV Chairman Jeff Gaspin.
When asked about the meeting, one executive quipped, “she’s pitching a sequel to Commander in Chief,” a reference to the ABC drama from Rod Lurie who starred Geena Davis as the first female president.
Palin began her week in Los Angeles by appearing on the show, where she told Leno that her previous dream was to become a sportscaster – and then she told some jokes. She also took advantage of Oscar week by visiting gift suites.
