Ted Nugent, legendary rocker, "Motor City Madman," outspoken advocate of the Constitution's First and Second Amendments and host of Outdoor Channel's Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild joins former vice presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for the January 29 episode.

"Ted Nugent is not only a rock-n-roll icon, but a true American outdoorsman who practices what he preaches," said Palin. "His outspoken candor regarding America and our civil liberties is a breath of fresh air. I'm so excited he's joining me for an episode this season."

"Sarah Palin is a great American and a great friend to freedom lovers everywhere," proclaimed Nugent. "She will go down in history as a strong, courageous freedom fighter for 'We the People' in this diabolical culture war. I am proud to stand with her."

This season, Amazing America will visit the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, featuring archery, shooting and wheelchair basketball competition for injured veterans; discuss "Operation Home," a program that builds houses for veterans, with former Army infantryman and Dancing with the Stars winner JR Martinez; travel to Maine to learn training techniques from a Wilderness Rescue team; and go behind-the-scenes at the Bristol Motor Speedway and the city's bomb squad, as well as many other adventures.

Palin has been a dynamic figure in the media since 2008, when she was nominated as Senator John McCain's vice presidential running mate. She is a three-time New York Times best-selling author (Going Rogue, America By Heart and Good Tidings and Great Joy), has generated almost 100 million Google hits and has more than 5.5 million organic and engaged social media followers. Time Magazine has named her as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" twice (2009 and 2010). Governor Palin has been married to four-time Iron Dog champion Todd Palin for 26 years. They reside in Wasilla, Alaska, and have five children and two grandchildren.

Nugent, a tireless constitutional rights advocate and award-winning host of Outdoor Channel's Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild, is a proud member of the National Bowhunters Hall of Fame, and author of more than 40 publications, including New York Times best-sellers - Ted, White & Blue: The Nugent Manifesto; God, Guns and Rock 'n' Roll; Kill It and GrillIt; BloodTrails and BloodTrails II.
