Barbara Walters Sits Down with Sarah Palin for 5-Part Interview

ABC’s Barbara Walters will sit down with former Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for a five-part interview series later this month.

The interview, timed to coincide with the release of “Going Rogue: An American Life,” begins airing on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, Nov. 17. Portions will also air that week on “Nightline” and on “20/20″ Friday, Nov. 20.

We’re told the interview will take place both before and after Palin’s sit-down with Oprah Winfrey on Nov. 16.

It was Walters’ ABC colleague Charlie Gibson who got the first sit-down with Palin after she was chosen as John McCain‘s running mate in the 2008 presidential election.
