From The New York Daily News. A bit of snark but otherwise OK

“The Match Game” — like politics — makes strange bedfellows.
Proof? Sarah Palin, GOP mama grizzly, laughing like BFF’s with the ABC show’s host Alec Baldwin, the die-hard lefty.
Sarah Palin “is here because Tina Fey won’t return my calls,” quipped Baldwin, while shooting an episode of the racy fill-in-the-blank game show.

Palin’s fellow panelists like J.B. Smoove knocked back wine during the taping. Palin, 52, stuck with water. “I’m such a bore,” she said. But the gaffe-happy ex-Alaska governor held her own her name came up in one question and Hillary Clinton in another.
After the taping, Palin was game for Daily News Q&A.

DN: If you were President, what would you do on your first day?
SP: I would undo a lot of the executive actions that had been done to America under this administration. Um, yeah, it’d be a very, very busy first day.
Panelists filled in the BLANKS: Top row: Jack McBrayer, Leah Remini, Randall Park. Front row: Sarah Palin, J.B. Smoove, Kristin Chenoweth.

DN: Two reasons you still believe in Donald Trump?
SP: I believe we need an outsider who will unveil what the problems are in both political parties that have so disenfranchised the voter and made people not want to be involved in their own government any more. Trump is one who can unveil that. And then actually do somethin’ about it. Because he is a maverick and he is one to say the status quo has gotta go. That’s what I respect about Trump.
DN: You’ve been in beauty pageants. How do you feel about Miss Teen USA eliminating its swimsuit competition?
SP: I say right on! Good girls! Yeah. You don’t need to be paradin’ around, twistin’ around, showin’ your butt to some judge. Show what you’re made of in a more gracious and a more productive way. I woudn’t necessarily want my girls paradin’ around in a bikini in front of a bunch of judges.
