So it appears that Todd Palin has a walk on role in a new sitcom.

So Jason Jones, formerly of the "Daily Show," has a new sitcom on TBS called "The Detour."

I have seen it, it sucks ass.

Which I guess makes it the perfect opportunity for Todd to emerge from the wilderness and make his first non-reality TV appearance.

Here's more courtesy of The Wrap: 

Although Alaska has a very distinct personality of its own and fits in perfectly with this season’s long story arc, it’s also a place Jones is familiar with. “I had been up to Alaska a fair amount when I was on ‘The Daily Show’ to cover a ‘certain governor,'” he grinned, referring to, of course, Sarah Palin. Jones spent 10 years as a correspondent working alongside his wife, Samantha Bee, on “The Daily Show” during the Jon Stewart era. By the end of 2015, he had 118 in-the-field segments to his name, a show record.

His character, Nate, has an opinion of Alaska that’s a tad different: “If you’re not born here, you’re certainly running from something,” Nate says in tonight’s episode. “It’s a place you go to disappear.” 

Huskies, moose, glaciers and the Iditarod aside, Jones couldn’t shoot an entire season set in Alaska without filming what the state is most noted for: the Palin family. Jones reached out to them, and they reached back — Sarah’s husband Todd even has a role in an upcoming episode. 

He plays the referee of a kids’ hockey game, who gets into a brawl with an intense coach, played by Jones. “He makes a bad call, and they end up fighting,” Jones said. “As we’re tussling, I threw in the line, ‘I’ve been to your house, Todd! You can’t see Russia!’ And then [Todd] threw back the line, ‘She never said that!'” 

Jones later asked Palin if he was cool with that adlib. Palin smiled and answered, “Yeah, you got your joke in.” 

“From what I hear,” Jones added, “[Sarah] thought it was funny.”

Of course she acted like she thought it was funny.

I think the Palins are just happy that somebody is paying attention to them other than the local police and the tabloids.

I will assume that this filming took place BEFORE Todd got his ass handed to him by Track last month.

Probably more this guy...

...than this guy.

Trailering snowmachines to trailhead for trek out to the cabin... perfect way to usher in the new year! May 2018 be a year of breakthrough, joy & victory for all!

So is this the potential launch of Todd's career as an actor in poorly written sitcoms?

Yeah I would not start counting those Emmys yet. 

The Daily Show's Jason Jones tries valiantly to reason with yet another Right Wing nutjob. Gotta admire his perseverance.

"The GOP is trying to save the American people from a disastrous health care plan."

You know if this really WERE a disaster the Republicans would be sitting back with a large tub of buttered popcorn just waiting for it to crater so they could ride in with their "I told you so's" blazing all ready to sop up all of that sweet sweet political credibility.

I loved the hostage negotiation metaphor.,

Last night's hysterical coverage by the Daily Show of the Affordable Care Act roll out. Featuring, by the way, Sarah Palin's old pal Gina Loudon.

I have to admit I damn near snorted my wine up through my nose when I realized that it was Gina Loudon speaking for the anti-Obamacare side. Could I really be this lucky, I thought?

Yes, I could. And she was just as dimwitted and uninformed as you could possibly imagine. In fact she is SO ignorant that Jason Jones breaks character to call her out on it.

As many of you remember the last time we talked about Gina Loudon was when she participated in "Wife Swap" back in March. It should also be remembered that she quit the show about halfway through.

Yep, that's a friend of Palin's alright.

The Daily Show's Jason Jones DESTROYS a conservative talk show personality concerning the IRS "targeting" of Teabaggers.

I have rarely seen anything quite so beautiful.

Jason Jones made this guy look like the douchebag that he is, and used his own words and intolerant behaviors to do it.
