The Todd Palin Show

Every now and again, conversations between myself and KK lead to ideas we would like to see put forth on television. Previous pitches include:

Wild Dinner: Impossible
Uniting chef Robert Irvine of Dinner: Impossible with Bear Grylls of Man vs. Wild. Robert has to construct a gourmet meal for approximately 400 people in a short amount of time out of items Bear locates after they have been purposefully stranded on an island/in the mountains/etc.

Sportstime with Samantha
Lots of talk about the "third plate line" and reminders as to the rules of football.

The Fanboy Next Door
A no-frills cooking show. Hosted by someone like Harry Knowles, but much less successful and extroverted. Easy meals that can be constructed and consumed without ceasing your current quest in World of Warcraft and/or Star Wars marathon (Original trilogy only, of course.)

Latest pitch:

The Todd Palin Show
(Inspired by Jason Sudekis' latest portrayal of Mr. Palin during SNL 2 weeks ago. The Todd Palin Show would cover the obvious topics (ice fishing bait & tackle, proper hunting apparel selection, jerky recipies) and also feature culturall relevant debates (Artic Cat vs. Skidoo, bow hunting vs. rifle hunting vs. musket hunting). TTPS would air either on the Outdoor Network or PBS, preferably paired with the fishing show hosted by former Minnesota Twins player, Kent Hrbek.
