Palin hosts Fox special

Sarah Palin is hosting a special — her first as anchor — on Fox News Channel tomorrow night in Greta Van Susteren’s 10 o’clock time slot.

The show, called “Real American Stories,” is another step for Palin toward a substantial TV career and perhaps away from a run for the White House in 2012.

It will be her second TV show in less than a month.

Last week, the Discovery Channel’s TLC said it had won a heated bidding war for a series about Alaska that will be hosted by Palin.

The Fox News show is a one-time experiment, for now, to see how audiences react to the former governor as a TV host. The show was put together in virtual secrecy and announced only two days before its air date.

Van Susteren broke the news on her blog that Palin was taking over her timeslot for a night.

Make sure you tune in!” Van Sustern wrote, apparently to avoid speculation that Palin was being auditioned to replace her.
