Such appears to be the case given the announcement that Monday's episode of "Oprah" was the most watched for the daytime talk queen in two years.
Palin even drew more viewers than pop singer Whitney Houston when she sat with Oprah earlier this year.
Just imagine all the sighs and rolling eyes in newsrooms from coast to coast.
As THR.com reported Wednesday (h/t TVNewser):
Oprah Winfrey’s interview with former vp candidate Sarah Palin scored the talk show host her highest rating in two years.
Monday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" drew a 8.7 household rating and 13 share -- the best since Oprah had the entire Osmond family on the show in 2007.
That means Palin also topped Oprah's heavily viewed interviews with Whitney Houston at the start of the season.
