The Peacock network may have seen ABC up the stakes in the morning news show ratings poker game. Last week, ABC announced that Katie Couric will be filling in for Robin Roberts on ABC's "Good Morning America" this week.

"I see this as a good opportunity to bring an independent, common-sense conservative perspective to NBC. We’re 'going rogue' and infiltrating some turf for a day,” Palin told Breitbart News.

Asked about the fact that she'll be going head-to-head on Tuesday with Couric — with whom she squared off in a controversial interview on the 2008 campaign trail — Palin said simply, "Game on."

For those wishing to take a trip down memory lane with Sarah and Katie, here's the interview.
