Asked if she had any interest in doing a talk show, Sarah Palin told The Hollywood Reporter, “I hear everyone recently got canned from The View, maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America’s heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts.” Too soon to worry about how remaining host Whoopi Goldberg feels about that – it’s all “rumor and speculation,” ABC told TheWrap. Not that Palin won’t be on the small screen. Sportsman Channel is bringing back Amazing America with Sarah Palin, labeling the former VP candidate who helped propel the net to triple-digit year-over-year growth in HH and key male demos the “First Lady of the Outdoors.” For her part, Palin promises “really inspirational stuff” for season two, launching in early 2015.
