Conservative website, The Daily Caller, publishes interview with Tonight Show producer about extravagant demands by Sarah Palin. Inspiring Palin to shout "Fire up the Facebook!"

"Wait, we needed to hire a fucking plane to get you here?"

This week, The Daily Caller’s Jamie Weinstein published an interview with longtime Tonight Show producer Dave Berg, who has a new book out about his experience working with Jay Leno titled Behind the Curtain: An Insider’s View of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. Included in the piece are some comments about Sarah Palin that the former Alaska governor is rushing to correct. 

“After the campaign, she had a book to promote, and wanted to do the show, but it was difficult to work out the logistics because she didn’t like to be away from her family for long periods of time,” Berg told Weinstein of Palin. “Finally, the only way we could get her to come to Burbank was to book a charter jet from Anchorage for $35,000. The jet was big enough to accommodate all of her family members.”

We have all heard of the outrageous demands that Palin has demanded in the past so of course this is not at all hard to believe. And it is even easier to believe since we covered it here at IM way back in June. (Scroll to the bottom.)

Of course hearing this infuriated Palin who quickly applied the whip of inspiration to her ghostwriter's back and she quickly pooped out this post: 

Guess the boys at The Daily Caller spent a bit too much time at the frat house and not enough time in their college library. (Or maybe it’s in one of their Jr. High tree forts where their leader gathers the boys to “report” their “conservative” issues.) Their claims about what I supposedly “demanded” of the Tonight Show are, in their frat boy terms, B.S. This is not the first time we’ve had to correct their sloppy “journalism.” Paraphrasing and dramatizing sure doesn’t fit into any fair and balanced image, especially from a little fella loving his title of FOX News Channel host. Maybe those bow ties are a bit too tight, bros. 

In contrast to your erroneous reporting (Hey! Come to think of it, this time it’s merely erroneous; it’s not your usual misogynist slant!), we loved visiting the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I had a blast on the show. Leno’s team was top notch, professional, and funny; and some even brought their families to work that day so they could meet mine. That was neat! Thanks for the memories, Jay! 

I’m looking forward to reading Dave Berg’s great new book “Behind the Curtain: An Insider’s View of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show.” Dave reached out by email to my team to share the following: “I consider Gov. Palin’s booking on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show one of the best gets I ever got. I had worked long and hard to book her, both during and after her vice-presidential campaign. She turned out to be a charming guest, who also did a killer standup, and her ratings won the night by a large margin. You can’t ask for more from a guest.” 

Thank you for the kind comments, Dave. Back at ya!

Okay well here's the thing, producers like Dave Berg deal with divas ALL of the time.

Just because he sent her a nice e-mail schmoozing her a little, which he probably does to all of the challenging guests, does NOT mean he did not think she was a pushy bitch.

And by the way the website that I sourced way back in June was the Hollywood Reporter.

So is Palin claiming that both the Daily Caller AND the Hollywood Reporter demonstrated poor journalism? Or is it possible that she is just pissed off that somebody let the world know that she is a pretentious celebutard, who is ALWAYS squeezing the very last nickel out of every public appearance.

Remember her family's motto:

"What's in it for us."
