The Sarah Palin interview with Oprah Winfrey is set to air Monday November 16th in a world exclusive that will see the former Alaska governor talk about everything from Levi Johnston, to her new book, and her now famous interview with Katie Couric.

Oprah always maintained that she wouldn't have Sarah Palin on her show as she didn't want to advance any political agenda (even though she had Barack Obama on twice), but now it seems an appearance by the much loved and hated former governor is pure ratings gold.

Even though Sarah Palin's appearance on the show coincides with the release of her new book, many have been wanting Sarah Palin to talk about her life and her thoughts for a long time and Oprah gives her the platform to do so. She does have a lot to deal with these days, from her daughter's ex-boyfriend going naked for Playgirl and his interview with Vanity Fair, and then her own family life and family matters, the ratings are already set to sky rocket for Monday's interview.

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin burst onto the national political scene as running mate for Senator John McCain in the 2008 presidential election. Now, following her decision to step down as governor of her home state of Alaska, and on the eve of the release of her first book, Palin will speak first to Oprah in a world exclusive interview.

Oprah had Barack Obama on her show twice before he ever declared that he was running for president. After Obama decided to run for president (then thought to be a candidate with no chance of winning - him being a black man not being the least among reasons) and Oprah publicly endorsed him, she said she would not have any of the candidates (including Obama) on her show because of her public endorsement of Obama. That seems quite reasonable to me. If Oprah had had Palin on during the presidential campaign, people would have pre-judged that Oprah could not have been unbiased with Palin.
