This is not an April Fool’s joke. Sarah Palin will take her first stab at television hosting when she fronts a new Fox News series, Real American Stories, premiering Thursday April 1 at 10pmET.

Guests for the first show include country singer Toby Keith, rapper/actor LL Cool J and Jack Welch. Get excited.

The show will “focus on a range of such stories including a Marine Medal of Honor recipient who gave his live to save his comrades.” But also there will be the celebrity guests – a very broad range of celebrity guests.

LL Cool J still has a career?

Tuskegee fighter pilot Shelby Westbrook was voiced by LL Cool J in the History Channel series WW2 in HD.

and did a yeoman like job of it.

Does she want to be a politician or a journalist? I like her a lot, but I can’t figure out the TV series gigs.

I really WISH she wouldn't do this.

Look what overexposure has done to the kenyan...she doesn't need to be on the tube so much.

Ol' Colonel Parker (Elvis' manager) always said, "You gotta leave them wanting more...". That's why you never saw Elvis on TV much unless it was something of a spectacular nature...and it worked...he's been dead over 30 years and people are still buying his work and crying over him.

Also, interviewing other people and dealing with critics is no way to build up your popularity.

I don’t think she is going to run. Neither is Huckleberry.

I will watch though.

[70th Division]

Good exposure and getting paid for it. makes sense to me.

[Woebama]

She and Huckabee are both smart politicians. It’s not something I understand politically but Godspeed.

“LL Cool J still has a career?”

He’s in NCIS Los Angeles...my wife likes him...I think he’s OK...I’ve seen him act and he’s actually pretty good.

Multi talented people deserve no respect.

NCIS Los Angeles.

[Red Steel]

NCIS Los Angeles

[blackie]

He was cast as a series regular in the CBS police procedural NCIS: Los Angeles, a spin-off of the NCIS. LL Cool J plays Special Agent Sam Hanna, an ex – Navy SEAL who is fluent in Arabic and an expert on West Asian culture. The series debuted in autumn of 2009, but the characters were introduced in an April 2009 crossover episode on the parent show.

He does a good job.

"LL Cool J still has a career?"

He stars in the CBS NCIS spin-off, which I gather does fairly well. This is a smart move on his part as NCIS skews a little more conservative than most broadcast dramas on TV.

[Vendome]

Yes he does and he is a great guy. Very funny and personable.

Always enjoy meeting him.

I'm going to get real tired of SP real fast if she starts having every stinking vapid hollyweird idiot known to man on a tv show. Like there's not enough of that out there already.

I won't watch, but I'll still be embarrassed for her and of her if she does that.

You sure?
Isn't Greta on 10 PM on Thursday April 1 at 10pm ET as normal? When is Greta's program supposed to come on then?

[Maelstorm]

Sarah can be anything she wants to be. She is doing it her way. I was worried initially but I’ve been really impressed with her instincts. I know some here cant deal with it when she doesn’t tie herself to a cross and wait for Armageddon.
Sarah is preparing herself not to be a Barry Goldwater but a Reagan and yet I believe she will be something more.
