“You’re lucky I’m retired.”

When given a chance to either move to Los Angeles with his daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) or get caught up in another day of hell, Jack Bauer makes the smart choice: he throws himself into harm’s way.

In this trailer for Season 8 of 24, Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) finds himself in New York trying to stop the assassination of a Middle Eastern leader (Slumdog Millionaire‘s Anil Kapoor) at the United Nations. New faces helping him along with this mission include Katee Sackhoff, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Mykelti Williamson.

returns to FOX’s schedule on January 17.

Although it had been 18 months since we last left Jack Bauer (longer than the writers’ strike itself), fans still cared enough to welcome 24 back. Even though it was down 23% from Season 6’s debut, last night’s two-hour “bridge” movie - with help from an earlier football overrun - gave FOX wins in the viewers and the demos.

    UPDATE:  Kiefer Sutherland Gets 48 Days in Jail

    Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, News

    Kiefer Sutherland In time, Jack Bauer had this legal matter resolved in a mere 10 minutes.

    Wanting to quickly put his Sept. 25th incident behind him, actor pleaded no contest today to a misdemeanor drunk driving charge.  Assuming the judge accepts the arrangements of the plea deal, Sutherland will serve a recommended total of 48 days in jail.  At the formal sentencing on Dec. 21th, prosecutors will ask that Kiefer serve 30 days for the DUI charge and an additional 18 for violating probation.  This was Sutherland’s fourth DUI-related offense; he was still on probation for a 2004 incident.

    If all goes according to plan, Kiefer will be able to serve part of his stint in late December (while 24 is still in hiatus) and the remainder after the show’s finale.

    Kiefer SutherlandWow.  When’s the last time a man was busted for doing something stupid?

    was booked this earlier this morning for a misdemeanor DUI.  The actor, who had attended a party earlier in the evening, was initially pulled over for making an illegal U-turn in West Hollywood.  TMZ reports that Sutherland was subsequently taken in for blowing twice the legal limit for alcohol.  He has since been released from custody after posting his bail.  (NOTE TO FOX HONCHOS:  If you are going to throw a party for your celebs, shouldn’t you make sure they don’t embarrass you by leaving drunk?  Just a thought.)

    This is Sutherland’s 2nd DUI within five years; if convicted, he must serve a minimum 5-day jail stint.  He is scheduled to make his next court appearance on October 16th.

    Janeane Garofalo Joins ‘24’

    Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Prime Time, FOX, NBC, 24, West Wing, The, Announcements

    GarofaloJaneane Garofalo (Ratatouille, The Truth About Cats and Dogs) will once again channel her serious side and enter the world of TV politics.  The actress-comedian brought her signature snarky flair to NBC’s and now she’ll (hopefully!) do the same for Fox’s .

    Garofalo will star in the show’s seventh season as the requisite government agent who investigates Jack Bauer’s latest crisis.  I am regrettably doubtful - but seriously hopeful - that she can help bring the show a much-needed spark.  Season 6 was such a ridiculous bore that I can’t even remember how it ended.

    Those needing to review last year’s recaps (like me) have until September 10th to get all caught up.

    24 Gets Two More Years

    Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Renewals

    Kiefer Sutherland Fear not, loyal 24 fans, the Emmy-winning show will be around for a couple more seasons. In the land of 24, however, that’s really only two days. 24 has been a ratings winner for Fox for the past six seasons (somehow I can’t believe it’s been on that long) and this season’s finale will air May 21st. Star Kiefer Sutherland has a contract through 2008-09, when the series is expected to wrap. So, at least fans can be assured that Jack Bauer will ride out the series until the very end. What’s in store for season number seven? Well, producers say that some big changes will be in the works—only you’ll have to tune in to find out. Or read recaps, I suppose.
