CHICAGO, ILL. (AP) -- Sarah Palin says she wasn't aware of any controversy surrounding a possible appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" during last year's presidential campaign.
Palin and Winfrey embraced as the former Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential candidate appeared Monday on Winfrey's talk show.
Winfrey asked Palin if she felt snubbed at not getting an invitation to the show last year.
Palin said she didn't and told Winfrey, "No offense to you, but it wasn't the center of my universe."
Winfrey says she didn't have any candidates on her show during the campaign because of her support of President Barack Obama.
Palin's 413-page book, "Going Rogue," will be released Tuesday and she begins a book tour Wednesday in Grand Rapids, Mich.
