No, Ashton Kutcher has not commandeered my keyboard, and no, this is not a really early April Fool's Day gag: Funny lady Janeane Garofalo is joining the cast of 24.
Although details of the casting are few and far between at this point, what I can tell you is this: 1) Come fall, she'll be a regular, 2) her character is a government agent who is part of the team investigating the crisis befalling Jack Bauer and Co. in the upcoming season, and 3) since the comedienne's persona often brings to mind Mary Lynn Rajskub's prickly Chloe, the potential for on-screen fireworks is greater than it has been during any of the show's previous bomb threats.
For that matter, there's a good chance that there will be a few explosions behind the scenes, too, since the Ben Stiller Show alumna is legendarily liberal, and 24's executive producer, Joel Surnow, is notoriously conservative.

I think I speak for everybody here when I ask: Does Jack get to torture her?
This just in:
“24” to be re-named “The West Wing”.
/s
NOOOOOO!
Oh Lord! There goes the neighborhood. Wait maybe Jack shoots her!
Oh, puke.....guess it’s going to still keep going down the drain....
So she won't be acting.
oh well, back to family Guy reruns..
Family Guy? Granted, it can be funny as h@ll, but whoever's behind the show is SO blatantly leftist... frequently throwing in unnecessary political commentary, etc. When I saw a "Kucinich for President" bumper sticker on the Family's car a couple of years ago, that iced it for me!
Wow. Cherry Jones as President and now this goofball Garofalo as a government agent? The more I hear about the upcoming season, the more I am inclined to call it a nice run and rent a few seasons of Oz or something. I never go to viewings either, because I prefer to remember people as I knew them.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the show every Monday for the past six years with my son, but maybe time’s up.
Not only has “24” jumped the shark, the writers gang banged it....
...there goes the neighborhood....
“24” has officially jumped the shark.
Unless Jack gets to lop off the top of her skull, the way Team America did...
What’s going on with the show this season? Are they trying to alienate those who have supported them from day one? A woman President (Hillary?) and now Garafalo. Geesh.
Self Candelling Series now.
Seems sometimes like the Wizard of Oz:
Fox News Channel and Rush Limbaugh clearly demonstrate to anyone with a brain, that moving to the RIGHT is the way for a media outlet to draw in millions of viewers. So what happens?
Bill O’Reilly and Fox respond to this clear truth, by turning on their bedrock supporters.
Very. Very. Strange.
I think it’s a case of either FOX or Surnow wetting their fingers and guessing which way the political wind is blowing.
Surnow was also the producer on that Daily Show knock-off which died on FNC, so maybe he feels like he’s got to be more liberal or something.
