November 16, 2009 Sarah Palin nicknames Levi Johnston 'Ricky Hollywood'Posted: 01:22 PM ET
Note: "Joe the Plumber," McCain campaign adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer, and former NY congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava join Larry tonight to discuss all the bombshells from Sarah Palin's new book and interview with Oprah.
Palin appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Monday to promote her already bestselling book Going Rogue: An American Life. She opened up about the father of her grandson who has publicly bashed her, saying that Levi's "aspiring porn" career - referring to his deal with Playgirl magazine - is a "bit heartbreaking." "I believe he goes by the name Ricky Hollywood now," she jokes to Oprah. "He's quite busy with media tours. ... That's Levi's gig right now." Regardless of their differences, Palin says she realizes Levi is still a teenager and that he will "forever be the father of this beautiful baby," her grandson Tripp. As for Bristol, Palin says that her daughter was "devastated" and "embarrassed" when the media got word that she was pregnant. "I was naive to think that the media would leave my kids alone," Palin says, reflecting on her time on the campaign trail. She recalls that she never wanted her daughter's pregnancy to be "glamorized." Another memorable moment as a VP hopeful was Palin's interviews with CBS anchor Katie Couric, who Palin refers to as "the perky one." The former Alaska governor says that during those interviews she was "annoyed" and felt that her words would be twisted no matter what. "Her agenda was not necessarily to show me in the best of light," Palin says of Couric. "If people only know me from that interview, I don't blame them." Palin's new tell-all book Going Rogue: An American Life hits bookshelves Nov. 17. Filed under: Larry King Live Levi Johnston
