Housewives Desperate for Palin Appearance

Former VP candidate could cash in on SNL popularity

Share

(Newser) – Sarah Palin may have a visit to Wisteria Lane in her future. Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is “very hot to trot to have her appear on the season-five finale,” a Hollywood insider tells the New York Post, and Disney execs love the idea. Cherry "sees her as the ultimate guest star," but an ABC rep denies the report.
