WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sarah Palin will sit down with Oprah Winfrey the day before her new memoir hits bookstores, Harpo announced Tuesday.
The former Alaska governor will make the appearance on Oprah on November 16 to talk about her highly anticipated tell-all, "Going Rogue: An American Life."
Palin has never before appeared on the popular daytime talk show. Last December, Winfrey said she had invited her on the show to discuss the election, but suggested at the time that Palin had instead chose other interviewers

Unconfirmed from Palin’s side.
However it’s a good thing that it is LIVE (as Oprah’s site indicates).
If this is the real thing, it’s good that Palin demanded it to be unedited.
Sarah is going to make me record an Oprah show. This makes me uncomfortable. I am going to need to apply for a variance or else risk losing my conservative man card.
Dear Sarah Palin - please skewer some of the RINO’s.
She better be ready for the “race card.”
Now Sarah’ book is a ‘tell all’? Is it being marketed that way?
Don’t do it Sarah. Snub the Oprah.
AS the Front Runner for the 2012 GOP Nomination, Sarah has no reason to go on Oprah.
However, as an author, Sarah will be helped by going on Oprah.
oh geez... who thought THAT was a good idea?
she WON’T Need the sales bump- Oprah’s crowd will hurt sales if anything
I am gussing the publisher is just doing ‘the usual’ book promotion, without using their heads
Since this will be (as indicated) live, it’s a win win for Palin.
If Oprah or the audience will be disrespectful (as I expect) they will be exposed to be the classless fascist goons they are. And Palin’s responses and counterattacks will reach an enormous audience unedited.
Plus if it helps her make big bucks, I’m all for it.
Nooooooooooooooo!
We can take it. Last time I recorded daytime tv was when Laura guested on The View.
No.
Instead of the book it will be 25 minutes on the pregnant daughter and the idiot daddy. imo
Good for her. At first I thought it was a bad idea, but now I look at it and I think its a great idea. Do I like Oprah, NO, I can’t stand the woman, but I don’t think she is a bad person. She just has a different point of view. I think Sarah will do great on her show. She has to market herself to a different kind of audience. Oprah isn’t a journalist, she is an interviewer. This won’t be a gotcha interview, she will ask her about the campaign, her life, her book, etc. But I bet she will ask her “Now Sarah, you don’t actually believe President Obama pals around with terrorists do you” you all know thats coming. Sarah can handle Oprah. I can handle Oprah for crying out loud, if I can do it, Sarah can do it
“Sarah is going to make me record an Oprah show. This makes me uncomfortable. I am going to need to apply for a variance or else risk losing my conservative man card.”
Ha ha ha ha. I was thinking the same thing, man. I can honestly say that I have NEVER EVER watched the Oprah Winfrey Show ... That is, until Sarah is on.
What makes me uncomfortable is her support for Rick Perry. I understand her support, since they were both governors last year.
Having this be live should be interesting. No way for Oprah and her minions to edit what she is saying. I think this is a win/win for Sarah. She will go on her show, promote her book, and also maybe change a few minds. Oprah’s audience are primarily Democrat, so who knows, maybe she will bring a few of them to her side
I personally predict the biggest audience in the history of the Oprah show, going away. And, the Oprah will be nothing but kind. She's lost to many viewers since she became overtly political. She cannot afford to come off as condescending, brash or rude.
It will be an interesting dynamic - and probably a boring dynamic - with both interviewer and interviewee in a position where they could lose. I'm sure both will end up being in a vanilla, make no mistake kind of demeanor.
Yeah, I bet ‘LIVE’ was the only way in which Sarah would agree to the sit-down. She should be O.K., since the interview will be out of the hands of the hack editors.
