Like LL Cool J, Toby Keith was unaware of his inclusion in Sarah Palin's show
Unlike LL Cool J, Toby Keith is still in 'Real American Stories'
Toby Keith
Like LL Cool J, Toby Keith was in promotional ads as one of the guests scheduled to appear on “Real American Stories,” a Fox News show hosted by Sarah Palin. Unlike LL Cool J, Keith is still slated to be on the program, but his inclusion was news to him.
We just talked to Toby Keith's representative. Keith, who says he's a registered Democrat, was not told about the usage of a past interview for Palin's program. "We were never contacted by Fox," his rep tells Hitfix."I have no idea what interview it's taken from.They're promoting this like it's a brand new interview. He never sat down with Sarah Palin."
As HitFix already reported here, LL Cool J questioned the usage of an old Fox interview in the Palin show via Twitter. Fox responded by yanking the LL Cool segment from the show, which airs April 1. Keith's segment is still in.

ddc So, Palin is hosting a show that features old interviews that other people conducted with famous people? This is bizarre. Oh, nevermind. It's Fox "News."
March 31, 2010 at 5:33PM EST Reply to CommentChiknoir68 And in a Fox News typically racist move, they not only cut LL's interview with lightening speed but did so with a juvenile comment about his acting career. Did they cut or tell Toby Keith to enjoy his fledgling music career? Anything and everyone associated with Fox News can go to hell and I hope it will be soon that they are banned from airing their simple-minded and racist rhetoric. Then again, when O'Reilly's on, it's good to know where all the rednecks and racist "god-fearing Americans" are.
