Hey all of Alaska, this is Sarah Palin, your former governor here in Wasilla.
Hey, I just want to take a second to wish you all a very very merry Christmas,
my most favorite people in the entire world.
Alaska I love you.
>> She loves them.
That's why she's working so hard to move back to DC,
when she becomes the representative.
She's running for congress right now.
Now, that video is freely available, that one I think that's on YouTube.
If you would like something more personalized,
Sarah Palin as for awhile been on Cameo.
Cameo is of course the site where you can get celebrities or
something approaching celebrities to make custom videos for you for pay.
And we previously on this show have made fun of Sarah Palin specifically for
doing those Cameos.
It turns out that joke is very much on us,
because she has been doing very well for herself over on Cameo.
Let's talk about the money she's been making recently.
So she had to do a financial disclosure form.
We expect that for people running for
house presidents don't have to do it anymore.
But anyway, she earned over $211,000 on Cameo just last year.
That is nearly 40K more than she would make as a member of the house.
Just pumping out those personalized videos, she made over 200 grand in a year.
And if you look at this next graphic you'll see a breakdown of some of
the other things she's made money off of.
So let's see a little bit of its from TV.
I don't know what young conservative is.
I imagine it's a way that billionaires have a front company that pretends that
there are young people who are super conservative and
they use that as a way to funnel money to right wingers.
They like also there's Pie Spy which sounds like a company I would actually
make, but anyway she made 70 grand there and
it has something to do with services for the elderly.
I don't know anything but I'm gonna say if you looked into that I bet it's corrupt.
But anyway, let's focus now on the Cameo.
You can see here a shot of her actual Cameo.
She has 465 reviews and apparently people quite like her services, five stars.
That's how you make over 200 grand.
She sells the videos by the way for $199 each and
promises delivery within 24 hours.
Is that a bargain Jessica?
I don't know, she certainly is doing well for herself.
>> Man, I really blame SNL for this.
It's their fault.
When Sarah Palin was saying stuff like immigrants need to speak American and
we need to make laws based on what the bible says.
That would have been a really great time to have some really good satire on
the descent into white Christian nationalism and
SNL was like the best we can do is make fun of her voice.
Sorry, we're gonna make her a meme and now her voice is so profitable and
she's making so much money off of Cameo.
I blame SNL although I would really like to like submit to her,
hey, can you say this quote?
And it will be like a Eugene Deb's quote or like a checkerboard quote.
It will be like it's a Ronald Reagan quote.
My friend really likes it.
Can you just say it and be like this is so true.
>> Well, that I like that, but you would be paying her $200 for
the pleasure of that joke.
So maybe think twice.
Yeah, look, I blame SNL to I blame Tina Fey specifically.
And I think she can actually help though if she were to make a Cameo where
she makes videos as Sarah Palin.
I think given the choice between the two,
I think even right wingers would rather have the Tina Fey version.
So, maybe that could fight back against this financially.
I just want to mention one other thing here.
So she has 465 reviews as of when we took that screenshot.
We were looking into the people have done the best on Cameo and I don't know for
sure who it is, but Brian Baumgartner from the office, he has 4100 reviews.
Almost ten times what Sarah Palin got and she made 200 grand.
He is pulling in money.
He apparently made more than $1 million dollars in a single year and
honestly I like it.
He was funny on the Office.
He's giving people what they want.
He's not trying to turn America into a Christian fascist state.
I think I haven't actually listened to his podcast so maybe he is.
I doubt it and so that's what Cameo should be for.
Not financially propping up people who are gonna try to actively take part in
the overthrow of democracy, but doing like Brian Cox.
Apparently people like Mick Foley on there, something like that.
And apparently you can make big money Jessica,
maybe I should have gotten on there a few years ago.
Well, any other thoughts?
>> No, that's showbiz.
Baby Sarah Palin on Cameo.
>> Exactly.
Exactly. Okay,
I'll read the Rudy reviews Sophie don't worry.
Rudy Giuliani apparently not doing as well.
He apparently made $11,000 last year.
That is not as good.
He got a review from Spaghetti who gave him one star and said I'm really not sure
what Rudy was thinking with this useless bizarre Cameo recording.
He didn't personalize it anyway, didn't mention me or the intended recipients,
any of the items I asked him to, he just rambled in a diatribe for
eight minutes off topic.
There was no value, I would leave zero stars if it were an option.
I wasn't a fan of his before, I really just ordered this as a prank.
But honestly, now I kind of just hope the guys, okay.
I've never seen anyone owned by a review on Cameo like that.
