Jack Bauer - In NYC, Following Me on Twitter...

Jack is back - and this season he is in New York City.  Also, for some reason, he is following me on Twitter...

Maybe Jack is interested in my coverage of the Brooklyn Arby's opening?!?

Anywhore, I watched the 2-hour season premiere of 24 last night, and plan on watching the next two hours tonight.  If you haven't figured it out by now, I LOVES me some 24.  And I love Keifer Sutherland - who I once saw on the street in front of my job.

As an added bonus, 24's producers have cast total cutie Freddie Prinze, Jr. (above) as a CTU agent - because Jack Bauer must have a hot Papi sidekick for some reason (Carlos Bernard, Freddie).  I may not know why this is, but I would like to thank the producers for the additional eye candy.

But after watching dear Freddie last night, I remembered how bad of an actor he was/is.  He is SO lucky to be so cute - and to be married to all that Buffy money...

Did anyone else watch 24 last night?  What did you think?

Happy Birthday to Kiefer Sutherland

Happy 43rd Birthday to Kiefer Sutherland - who plays the awesome Jack Bauer on the awesome show 24.  Speaking of 24 ... Season 8 premieres on Jan 17th and I cannot wait!  But is it just me, or does it seems like there will be A LOT of good television on all at the same time - starting in January?

Anywhore, you may remember I had the pleasure of walking past Kiefer on the street back in September.

NYC Celebrity Sighting - Kiefer Sutherland

OMG - I just passed Kiefer Sutherland on the street! As I was walking toward my restaurant a few minutes ago, I saw a man get out of a cab and pause for a moment in front of my job. As I got a little closer I noticed it was Kiefer Sutherland, and he had stopped so a delivery man could take a cell phone picture of him. Jack Bauer was dressed in jeans and a plain white t-shirt, cigarette dangling from his mouth, and he was smiling from ear-to-ear. Then he went on his merry way, right past me - still grinning.

I have to say this ... Jack Bauer is shorter in person than I thought. Although he may not be tall, here are some "true facts" you may not know about Jack Bauer...

Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

Jack Bauer sleeps with a gun under the pillow. But he could kill you with the pillow.

Jack and Jill went up the hill. Only Jack came down. Jill was a f*cking terrorist.

Jack Is Back

I LOOOOVE 24, and was extremely excited to watch 24: Redemption last night. The show has been absent for almost 2 years because of production issues and the writer's strike, so Redemption was intended to get everyone up to speed before the January 11th premier. Kiefer Sutherland shot, stabbed and yelled his way through two hours of ass-kicking. BTW, did you ever notice that Jack Bauer yells "DO IT NOW!!!" at least once every episode?

Anywhoo, they also introduced the new President of the United States, played by Broadway veteran (and out lesbian) Cherry Jones:

The biggest shocker (for me) was at the end when they showed a preview montage of the upcoming season. Somehow, Tony Almeida (played by hottie Carlos Bernard - below) is back from the dead, and he's now a BAD GUY!!!

We also learn that C.T.U. has been disbanded, and my absolute favorite character - Chloe (Played by Mary Lynn Rajskub, below) - is now a stay-at-home Mom!!
