This Monday night Kiefer Sutherland returns to TV in the series reboot, 24: Live Another Day. The show is returning for limited run of 12 episodes, or a half-day. SPOILER ALERT: Jack Bauer may have survived eight hellish days/seasons, but he met in is after just one Saturday night. The iconic character was killed for badmouthing Beyonce on SNL.
The hit Fox drama 24 ended its eight season run back in 2010. Now after taking the past four years off, Jack Bauer is clocking back in for another half day. Recently, Kiefer Sutherland opened up to TV Guide about his return to 24:
“It was done for me. I went off to do a play in New York, a movie in Sweden and then got involved with Touch. But when I called [executive producer] Howard Gordon to congratulate him for winning the Golden Globe for Homeland, he said, ‘So, I have this thing that's been gnawing at me.’ I thought he had a new show in mind. I was pleasantly surprised when he brought up 24. The decision to get back into it took me about 15 minutes. Then I spent the next six months going, ‘What the hell did I take on?’...Walking away as cleanly as we did, there was a real sense of accomplishment. We always said there were things we could do better or tried to improve on, but I was as proud of 24 as anything I've ever done. So now we owe it to the franchise and our audience to maintain that extraordinary level of quality and heart-pounding drama. I remember looking at [executive producer] Jon Cassar that first day of shooting and saying, ‘Look, if you see me doing anything that doesn't remind you of Jack Bauer, you've got to tell me right away.’"
Jack Bauer recently crossed networks in a SNL cameo. The character tried to help Andrew Garfield escape after badmouthing Beyonce. Sadly, Bauer couldn’t escape his destiny.
