Gwen Ifil

Palin infamously snubbed several of Ifil’s questions during the 2008 vice-presidential debate. If interviewed, Ifil could turn the tables on her.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright

If President Obama wouldn’t want to be seen in public with his controversial ex-pastor, you can pretty much assume Sarah Palin wouldn’t want to either.

Katie Couric

The CBS anchorwoman famously flummoxed the former VP candidate with a number of seemingly softball questions during the 2008 presidential campaign. Palin has been trashing Couric ever since, it would be fun to see them forced to interact one more time.

Spike Lee

Few filmmakers are as incendiary as Lee. The director of When the Levees Broke would likely press Palin on an array of topics she’d rather not touch

Mike Tyson

Tyson would intimidate, if not terrify Palin, although they might bond of the mutual ire they inspire from animal rights groups like PETA.

Wanda Sykes

Both openly gay and a fierce critic of Sarah Palin, comedian Wanda Sykes would relish the opportunity to take on the former Alaska governor’s conservative values.

Cornel West

Acclaimed scholar Cornel West could overwhelm Palin with his intellectual dexterity, grasp of history and radical politics. She wouldn’t want to take the chance.

Kanye West

Palin would be no match for the man who said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” and upstaged Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Keith Olbermann

Olbermann has repeatedly eviscerated Sarah Palin in several scathing “Special Comments” on his MSNBC show Countdown. She would rather gargle with gasoline than sit across from Olbermann.

Marcelas Owens

Palin’s show is supposed to feature “real American” stories and they don’t get more real or heartbreaking than Marcelas Owens’. The right vilified this 11-year-old health care advocate who lost his mother at age 27 because she lost her health care. But it’s another thing to sit across from him and question his motives.

Rep. John Lewis

Civil Rights era legend John Lewis a formidable powerhouse in the House of Representatives and has the kind of gravitas Palin might melt in the face of.

Gary Coleman

If his recent volatile appearance on The Insider is any indication, Sarah Palin would not like Gary Coleman when he’s angry.

Levi Johnston

Palin’s would-be son-in-law turned Playgirl model has been making the rounds spilling embarrassing secrets about the Palin family. A clash between these two on air would be cringe inducing but undeniably entertaining.

Lisa Jackson

Jackson, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, wouldn’t think much of Palin’s conservative energy policies and her decades of experience on the topic might make the former Alaska governor look like a lightweight.

Hillary Clinton

Palin mocked what she considered Hillary Clinton’s thin skin before she herself jumped into the presidential race and began complaining of the personal attacks she received. It’d be interesting to watch Palin squirm in the face of a real female trailblazer.

Lil Wayne

Even though he is currently behind bars, Lil Wayne is still the biggest act in hip hop. And he prides himself in speaking truth to power. Something tells us Sarah Palin would be no match for “Weezy”.

Minister Louis Farrakhan

Although at an advanced age, the Nation of Islam’s Farrakhan is still as fiery as ever and would put Palin on the hot seat when it comes to issues of race.

David Letterman

Palin and the Late Night host got into a very public war of words last year after Letterman made some crass jokes about her family. She accused him of being a perv. He mercilessly ridiculed her oversensitivity. They’ve never sat down face-to-face yet – and if they did it’d be ratings gold.

Chad Ochocinco

NFL receiver turned reality-show dancer Chad Ochocinco might not get Sarah Palin to change her name…But how would she react to #85’s signature line: “Child, please.” ?

Michelle Obama

After having consistently bashed her husband, Palin could find herself tongued tied if confronted face-to-face by the first lady.
