Janeane Garofalo
To Join Cast Of 24!!

Wow by HippieFella	Aug 20th, 2007 10:03:59 PM
I love it.
Leah Cairns (BSG's Racetrack) would've been better. by Pennsy	Aug 20th, 2007 10:06:32 PM
She mentioned at the Wolf Galactica 3 convention in London last weekend she auditioned for the lead female guest role on the show. I'm a dimmycrat and I can't stomach Garofalo.

Great, now we have two surly, dumpy broads by GrandMuffTarkin	Aug 20th, 2007 10:09:25 PM
How far into the season are they gonna hold a scowling contest?
will she make out with Rush Limbaugh too? by INWOsuxRED	Aug 20th, 2007 10:09:55 PM
Thats pretty fucked up
Let me guess...she'll play a mole inside CTU by SpyGuy	Aug 20th, 2007 10:14:47 PM
Moley moley moley moley... And yes, Garafalo and Limbaugh need to just have sex with one another and get it over with already. The tension between those two is thicker than dried rubber cement.
Bet she plays an outsider with a caustic wit by Yeti	Aug 20th, 2007 10:15:18 PM
just throwing that out on a limb.
Is it just me by Macktheknife01	Aug 20th, 2007 10:16:01 PM
Didn't there used to be this sorta geeky cute chick in the mid 90s named garofalo. I was just wonderin' cuz i saw this chick (or dude i wasn't sure) who was called garofalo who was screeching about neocons and bush. I think she/he was one the characters from the geico caveman commercials. Just wonderin if any body knows what happened to that cute girl
KILL CHLOE!!! by Osmosis Jones	Aug 20th, 2007 10:18:27 PM
Honestly, she's the only recurring character standing after the bloodbaths of seasons 5 and 6?! I'd personally put a bullet through her perpetually scowling face if it meant bringing back Michelle. I LOVE YOU, REIKO...!

A buddy was her roommate in NYC right out of college... by HarrysTitCheese	Aug 20th, 2007 10:30:38 PM
she had a sick cat she wouldn't put down. It just wandered around the apartment dying of cancer. He took it to the vet and did it himself. Told her it went out the window and never came back. I wonder if she still wonders what happened to her pussy.
Pound Sand, welcome back! by Pennsy	Aug 20th, 2007 10:39:13 PM
thinks the ratings gap between Heroes and 24 will widen more next year
Countdown to cancelation started last season by eppdude	Aug 20th, 2007 10:43:30 PM
Keifer knows it, the writers know it, too. Season 7 is crucial. If it sucks, they really should cancel it. I own seasons 1-5 on DVD, but I will NOT pony up for 6.
We ask for Ripley... by Shermdawg	Aug 20th, 2007 10:50:43 PM
...they give us Garofalo. -_- Well, on the bright side, the show can't get any worse than the last two years. Right? RIGHT???
What's the big deal? by DarthFloyd	Aug 20th, 2007 11:06:01 PM
Chances are they'll kill her off quickly for 'shock effect' like they usually do.
Actually, Garofalo plays a govt agent well. by Prof. Pop-Cult	Aug 20th, 2007 11:25:04 PM
She was good in Clay Pidgeons. And I could easily imagine her playing a straightforward Fed agent type in 24. If you ignore her personal politics, she has this acting id persona that translates convincingly as a government, non-nonsense type. Thank Agent Scully or Agent Starling with glasses. Frankly, I think she should have been cast as the main lead in the movie version of Whiteout (and not Kate Beckensale).
Heard she will be playing Senator Katherine Harris by BrandLoyalist	Aug 20th, 2007 11:37:29 PM
See her help Jack Bauer keep the Army's secret Gay Bomb out of the hands of terrorists. Will the symptoms of her RLS interfere? Only Sundaynistas know for sure!
Stay by AlwaysThere	Aug 20th, 2007 11:45:06 PM
I liked her in that movie.
Savvy political stunt casting... by Jim Jam Bongs	Aug 20th, 2007 11:47:11 PM
Here's what I'm willing to bet: Her character is not at all going to be quirky or off-the-wall. She may not even wear her trademark emo glasses. Her character won't be a traitor or turncoat. She's going to play the kind of character that the Republicans, dittoheads, conservatives, right-wingnuts, Rush Limbaugh will be forced to admit: "I really like the character -- even if I don't personally like the actress who plays her. But she plays the character very well." I believe this is exactly what the producers are going to pull here, and why Garofalo was convinced to do the role (other than for the money, of course).
At least David Fury should be able to write her some by glodene	Aug 20th, 2007 11:54:21 PM
funny lines...And with her dry wit, this could be downright symbiotic creative-wise.
Casting news I don't care about by twitchinmonkey	Aug 21st, 2007 12:07:37 AM

Celebrity Guest Star #1 by Magma Suit	Aug 21st, 2007 12:14:26 AM

P.S. by Magma Suit	Aug 21st, 2007 12:15:01 AM
If you don't care aboot it why post it the talkbalk?
Now I have another reason to not watch this show... by tendermelon	Aug 21st, 2007 12:17:18 AM
...other than pure disinterest.
That's what this show is missing... by smackfu	Aug 21st, 2007 12:22:00 AM
A complete and utter cunt. I used to like her, but then she went a full decade making a bassett hound face and acting like that depressed, fucked up mother on every block who takes people's frisbees when they land on her lawn.
Good move 24 producers. by LordEnigma	Aug 21st, 2007 12:38:29 AM
Janeane rules. She will also be worth a few hours of debate on the set with the conservative writers and directors. HOOYEAH!
"A complete and utter cunt" by Defunct Gamer	Aug 21st, 2007 12:42:32 AM
A class act this one. It's nice to see that the talkbackers are a mature lot.
That's TWO strikes... by jwardlow	Aug 21st, 2007 12:45:56 AM
As much as I love 24, that makes TWO strikes against it so far for the new season. One more and I'm not even going to bother watching the first new ep in January, much less any of the others.
the show can't get any worse than the last two years" by newc0253	Aug 21st, 2007 03:29:50 AM
with this news? possibly, yes. I liked Garofalo in Larry Saunders. I even liked her in the West Wing. But i won't deny that news of her casting in 24 has the potential to blow chunks, particularly if she plays another shrill Wayne Palmer's sister-type.
I can only hope by Aloy	Aug 21st, 2007 03:30:47 AM
...that her role isn't as one dimensional as an FBI agent sounds. She is capable of great work and it would be a shame for her to be wasted on a lame character.
Am I the only one... by raw_bean	Aug 21st, 2007 04:05:12 AM
...who has a real thing for Janeane Garofalo? Am I twisted, or is she actually a hottie?
UGGHHHHHH....... by GobBluth06	Aug 21st, 2007 04:49:43 AM
UGGHHHHHHH...... I hate Janeane Garofalo. I love 24 though. Here's hoping she gets one in the noggin or the gut during the season.

Janeane Garofalo is a Hotty by kevinwillis.net	Aug 21st, 2007 06:57:34 AM
Although I'm not sure I'd want to be in a relationship with her. She accused "Men are from Mars" love guru John Gray of being sexist because he says men and women are different. She's not a liberal, she's a radical leftist. But it sounds like groovy stunt-casting to me, and I'm sure she'll do a great job. However, life keeps me from enjoying 24's highly linear narrative. I can never catch enough of it to have any idea about what's going on.
Raw_bean... by Abin Sur	Aug 21st, 2007 07:48:07 AM
Unfortunately, you're not alone...I'm afraid I have to admit a certain fondness for Ms. Garofalo...kinda reminds me of Midol Girl. Now if the writers can just get her and Chloe to make out, I may put this show back on my season pass.
Janeane Garofalo by jimjom	Aug 21st, 2007 08:08:39 AM

shes not just a terrible actress by ZO	Aug 21st, 2007 08:22:45 AM

Someone had to say it, right?
They're flailing by The Selecter	Aug 21st, 2007 08:33:26 AM
Production already postponed twice due to creative issues. The most interesting part of this season will be to see how much of a train wreck it turns out to be.
????? by just pillow talk	Aug 21st, 2007 08:41:58 AM
For real? she's all yours Kevin...ewwwww
Aw, crap by vich1	Aug 21st, 2007 09:43:48 AM
That really sucks.
Yay for lousy stunt casting by Rickey Henderson	Aug 21st, 2007 09:54:45 AM
$10 says she drops out like Eddie Izzard did last season.
Umm...I thought 24 didn't want any recognizable on?! by Darth Bauer	Aug 21st, 2007 09:55:37 AM
I always loved that I didn't really know anyone(other than Keifer, Hopper, Vosloo, or Lou Diamond Phillips) on 24 over the years. Plenty of people know who Garofalo is. This sucks for one of my 2 favorite shows. What happens next, THE SHIELD kills off Mackey in the season opener?
I'd watch if she was playing Senator Katherine Harris by INWOsuxRED	Aug 21st, 2007 10:40:48 AM
But I don't really have much of a desire to watch Garofalo act, nor do I have any desire to watch "24".
Chalk up another vote for Janeane Garofalo's hotness! by MisterE	Aug 21st, 2007 10:46:55 AM
I've been in love with her since she starred in "Mystery Men."
This will be the equivalent of the west wing by emeraldboy	Aug 21st, 2007 11:46:21 AM
they took the token Republican and stuck her down in the basement and then gave her one episode before she vanished. Now it will be Janeane Garofalo's turn. The west wing was fine because she was a liberal in a liberal show. Joel Surnow is a self confessed "right-wing nut job". Liberal on a neocon show. I give Janeane Garofalo's all of three episodes.
Jesus Janeane! by down75	Aug 21st, 2007 11:58:16 AM
Why not just commit suicide... At least that way we get to hold on to the little bit of fond memories we have. The only thing redeemable about 24 is it keeps Keifer busy so he doesnt try to re-make or re-imagine(destroy)any of his fathers work.
Finally a 24 talkback by Shakes	Aug 21st, 2007 12:09:25 PM
I've been meaning to bring this up for awhile but didn't have the chance. Last season I heard all the bitching about how the show has gone down hill and just rehashes old plots. I'd seen season 1, and 5 and 6 but that was it. Well this summer I started watching season 2 via netflix, and sure enough, you guys are right. As soon as the disc started there was this realistic-ness and clarity to it. I honestly don't think I would have been able to watch the past two seasons if I would have been so aware of how good things were early on. These newer seasons are like a parody. One thing that doesn't change though is the non-CTU related subplots that suck. Kim with the little girl, the sister who things her sister's soon to be groom is a terrorist, etc. Oh, and one more thing, it's nice in those early seasons seeing how not everyone at CTU is a data analyst. I'm sure as 9/11 George Tenet wasn't directly looking at lines of code and asking his analysts to set up a work station for him.
When her character is killed off, will anyone care? by Puddleglum	Aug 21st, 2007 12:13:54 PM
just askin.... Too bad she won't be playing The Bowler from Mystery Men (or, whatever her character's name was.) It might infuse some originality into the next season of Twenty-four.
Who Will Kill Whom? by Guncrazy	Aug 21st, 2007 01:43:46 PM
Either Jack Bauer is going to kill her within the first few episodes (and ratings will soar), or she's going to do for 24 what she did for Air America.
not to sound too crude... by RockLobster800	Aug 21st, 2007 01:46:45 PM
and I really cant avoid sounding like a perv, but I might as well air this-I think Janeane is really cute (more so in the 1990s but hey) and I also enjoy a bit O kinky bondage. 24 is known for its constant kidnapping storylines. if this means that at some point Janeane winds up bound and gagged in the back of a van Ill be a happy man. Sorry....
She's a Twat by _Maltheus_	Aug 21st, 2007 01:50:57 PM
I just like calling crazy feminist types twats. The rest are ladies. But this news has zero impact on my anticipation for this show. I don't care who plays the parts, I care how they're written. Hearing that it doesn't involve CTU may be good though. They need to do something radical with the show, otherwise this will be this be the finale season officially or unofficially for many here. And if they have to have a mole, make it Chloe. The mole thing is boring, but they might reinvigorate it to make it a old-timer that Jack has always depended on. Alright, I'm talking out my ass here. This show is such a parody of itself that I've long since stopped wishing for it to be quality, I'm now thinking they should "Plan 9" it. Failing that, they should make it more realistic and have Jack snap for all he's been put through. But Bauer is such a little bitch that even after hearing that CTU will be left out of it, I still know that he'll spread his cheeks for them when they eventually crawl out in the third act.
As a big 24 fan... by James Westfall	Aug 21st, 2007 02:01:24 PM
I can only hope the demise of Garofalo's character is bloody and cruel. Like being caught in huge gears cruel. And hopefully it happens early.
Garofalo=flames on Marwan's nipples. by Unlabled	Aug 21st, 2007 02:56:32 PM
Remember the days when 24 developed relatively unknowns and make them stars (Tony Almeida)?? This 24 shit starting going down hill when Sam-Wise was pressed into CTU service just to get merked out by a neurotoxin. Damn you Surnow! Damn you all to hell!
Going out on a limb by thatdudewalter	Aug 21st, 2007 02:59:26 PM
CTU analysts bicker like melodramatic schoolgirls on their periods. Someone gets taken into CTU for protective custody, but CTU gets infiltrated by bad guys, making you wonder if they would be better off hiring a bunch of stormtroopers led by Barney Fife for security. Quirky side characters die. Jack says "DAMN IT!!!" Remember, you heard it here first!
Oh, and... by thatdudewalter	Aug 21st, 2007 03:03:11 PM
...after revealing that the writers were working manmade global warming into the plot and this casting news, can we finally put the "24 is made by rightwing nuts" conspiracy theory to bed?
I'll give 24 one last chance... by echobase	Aug 21st, 2007 03:03:52 PM
... but if this season is as bad as the previous one, I'll quit!!! Please please please, don't ruin what used to be the best show on the air!
Probably the last season by Neutron	Aug 21st, 2007 03:12:29 PM
All great shows must come to an end, and this season is shaping up to be a bitter swan song. The ultra-right-wing fascist neocons with their global warming plots and Garofalo hirings have finally gone too far! Season 6 was a huge disappointment and it wouldn't take much for me to call it a day on this show.
Chloe and Garfo In a big dance number. by Knobules	Aug 21st, 2007 03:31:55 PM
The show is a mess. it might as well go love boat and have music numbers and ridiculous Aaron Spelling 70's bs until it implodes.
Yeah, and Eddie Vedder's Jack's dirty ex-pat brother by GimmieMyBackpackBack	Aug 21st, 2007 03:37:09 PM
24 used to be so awesome, but last season everyone involved shit the bed, totally. It started off awesome, though.
Last season... gguhhgh by turketron	Aug 21st, 2007 04:23:39 PM
I hope that season 7 will be a return to form for the show, as 6 was pretty bad. Amazing how well it started off, then tanked. They really shouldn't have killed off Graham Bauer so early on and really didn't need all of the stupid office drama that went on. My best to worst list: Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 or 5 (toss-up... I'll go with 5 by a hair because it didn't involve Marwan and his dastardly escapes) Funny that Season 4 was the first season I started watching. Season 6 (waaaay at the bottom)
Global Warming Plot??? by _Maltheus_	Aug 21st, 2007 04:24:47 PM
If that's true then I just may have to give this one up. THAT'S how they respond to criticisms that the show is getting boring? Come on, tell me that's not true. I'm switching back to leaded gasoline too. I'm so fucking sick of the global warming hype that the media has actually turned me against the environment.

24's Political Leanings by _Maltheus_	Aug 21st, 2007 07:01:38 PM
It was once a Fox News, pro-torture neo-con type show, but over the last couple of years it became a liberal bitch-fest. That's why some people see it as conservative and some see it as liberal, for lack of better labels. The super-pro-torture years seemed like straight-up military psyops compared to what we have now. I'm guessing that Kiefer got tired of being the poster boy for torture and make it clear that he'd only stay on in these late season if they made the show more Hollywood friendly.
I tend to mistake her for Sarah Silverman. by glodene	Aug 21st, 2007 08:04:13 PM
Generic semi-cute smartass nerd-chick. Other than that i'm ok with her joining the cast for this season...As long as they make up for the cluster-fuck that was season 6. I did'nt even bother to look at the season finale.
I hope she dies of torture at Jack's hands... by gorydon	Aug 21st, 2007 10:18:43 PM
and that he calls her a stupid cunt while doing it. I think that could draw in a few more viewers and give the folks something to talk about around the water cooler the next day,

The only "stunt" that would save this show by Dr. Chim Richalds	Aug 21st, 2007 10:49:13 PM
is if the writers actually wrote out the entire season in advance. And without stealing every single plot device from a previous season, this time.
She's my favorite white girl. by ZeroCorpse	Aug 21st, 2007 11:01:50 PM
`Always was. Seriously, I'd fuck Nancy Grace to get to Janeane Garafalo. She was geek chic before it became a fashion trend, and she's the real thing, not some dimwit faker wearing rectangular glasses. Most of the girls who try to pass themselves off as geeks now really AREN'T geeks. They're mainstream, mundane, dim-bulb fashion templates.
hopefully she gets caught in a cougar trap by BLWiseass	Aug 21st, 2007 11:31:15 PM
and doesn't get rescued. She is quite annoying.
i honestly don't understand by newc0253	Aug 22nd, 2007 02:58:17 AM
how 24 became shit so fast but it did. I get that a show can't maintain greatness for ever. Every show has its weak episodes and sometimes weaker seasons. Even Buffy had season 6 problems. What continues to astonish me is how 24, with writers like David Fury and Manny Coto on board, became so bad so fast. I haven't seen a show tank this hard and this fast since Alias season 4 (and even that was prefigured by the mediocre season 3). What's also disturbing is how widely loathed season 6 was. For example, I thought season 3 was better than season 2 when many other 24 fans hated it. I thought season 5 ran out of steam halfway through, when many other 24 fans loved it to death. But there seems to be near-universal consensus that season 6 was shit.

"this Republican love-fest of a show" by smackfu	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:13:15 AM
Uh...what? The past couple of seasons of 24 have been so overtly using the show as a platform for mocking and accusing the Bush administration that it even made me (a canadian liberal) roll my eyes. - secret shadow government pulling the presidents strings (Skull & Bones conspiracy theory) - said shadow government framing muslims for an orchestrated attack designed to give the US an excuse to attack middle east (common 'Bush/Israel really attacked us' conspiracy theory) -an inept wartime president also orchestrating a terrorist attack to further his own goals and having it backfire horrible (see above conspiracy) Seriously, if you think 24 is PRO-republican, you have problems inferring.
Ruminations by fireclown	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:53:59 AM
I used to have a love hate relationship with Gerafalo. It's pretty much gone over to hate since she went insane and all that. This is stunt casting, but that might be what the show needs. I'm thinking she can be herself and be a truther type, denying that there is a terrorist menace while they keep blowing the crap out of things left and right. Kind of a ridiculous greek chorus kind of thing.
I repeat again by emeraldboy	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:18:34 AM
Joel Surnow described himself as Right wing nut job and Has said that while the show is pure entertainment, they have used it as a plat form raise republican issues. Season 6 demonstrates this. The terrorists bring there war to america, the neocon president orchestrates a coup against the Liberal black president and bring martial law to the streets of america.
24's right-wing side by beardo	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:40:52 AM
Even when 24 runs plots that could be perceived as liberal, the series pretty consistently maintains a right-wing feel to it. 1. Approval of torture 2. Paranoia 3. Extremely cynical view of human nature and interaction All features usually displayed by right-wing art. Also, look at when 24 does make a liberal viewpoint, such as in season 6 when it turned out the Muslim internees at that camp were really just pissed off guys getting negative info from a website. That was the single worst plotline in 24 history, and I remember both Teri Bauer's amnesia and Kim's nanny troubles. 24 uses things such as oil villains and chicken hawks to good effect, but when the series actually takes a literal liberal standpoint, it crumbles, because the series isn't designed for it. Also, I wouldn't call 24 a neocon show. Surnow himself says he doesn't believe in nation building, a key neocon trait. I tend to think of it as more of a hard-line conservative type series.

Well, so much for 24 being a right-wing show... by anchorite	Aug 22nd, 2007 12:16:27 PM
the producers obviously sleep on the left side of the bed if they decided to cast Garafalo. Bye Bye, 24.
Not a Global Warming plot by Steve_Dooku	Aug 22nd, 2007 12:20:35 PM
I thought I read that the production was going to be "green" - meaning the trucks and generators would run on biodiesel and everybody would use one sheet of Cheryl Crow toilet paper and other save the planet type of stuff.
maybe the producers of 24 are...whaddyacallit... by oisin5199	Aug 22nd, 2007 02:13:44 PM
professionals! It's very clear that there is a mix of political views both behind the scenes and on camera. They can obviously work together and create good drama (last season notwithstanding). I think anyone who can't watch a show because they disagree with the political views of one actor, who will most likely not express those views on the show (re: the whole professionalism thing), is a consummate, simple minded dumbass. Sorry.
24 isn't Right Wing, you're just retarded. Sorry. by TallBoy66	Aug 22nd, 2007 03:01:44 PM
Must be hard, being stupid and all. With a show that had a sitting Republican President mastermind terrorist attacks on his own country so he could get oil overseas, I wouldn't exactly call it Right Wing. Man, you're dumb. Really dumb. Try thinking slower next time, it'll work.
24 by beardo	Aug 22nd, 2007 04:26:00 PM
Thanks Node32774. I'd agree that even the "liberal" plots still play out in a right-wing way. If the average Republican were to find out that Bush masterminded chemical weapons attacks within the country to advance his agenda, they'd probably wanna see Jack Bauer fuck his shit up just as much, if not a lot more, than the average liberal. In 24's world torture and the death penalty are consistently acceptable punishments, and that is very right-wing. That said, there are PLENTY of plots to make liberals happy, too, unlike a show like the dickhead West Wing where everyone to the right of Karl Marx was seen as pure evil.

Why do no-talent people keep getting work in Hollywood? by Gorrister	Aug 23rd, 2007 08:47:14 AM
She is one of a myriad of so-called 'actors' who have zero acting talent yet keeping finding work. She plays the exact same character in every movie/show she is in: herself. Her act never varies in the slightest.

Michael Moore is in town working on his new documentary, only to find himself the target of evil Republican assassins. Can Jack save Moore in time?
I heard.... by phrozen_ghost2k6	Aug 23rd, 2007 11:45:42 AM
I heard she was playing a traitorous terrorist sympathizer who constantly, and most of the time with no basis, attacks her own country and shows her utter contempt for the people who keep her safe and give her the ability to spout off at the lips.... O sorry..thats real life....
Death Knell by malificus	Aug 23rd, 2007 12:20:59 PM
No, this will be great, they can do wry comedy with Lucy-esque vaudeville thrown in like classic Abbott & Costello bits with the ghost of dead Edgar: Chloe:"Who's on first?" Dead Edgar: "Chloe.....aagghhh" falls over foaming at the mouth while Jack fires his pistol in the air yee-hawing like the Texan on the Simpsons.
24 Hours of Inconsistency by StephenHawkingDiarrhea	Aug 23rd, 2007 04:20:59 PM
I love 24, but I can guarantee that by refreshing the plot is going to last for the first 6 episodes, and then it will revert to the same old formula as the first 6 seasons. The problem is the writers don't plan out the entire season from the beginning and rely too much on fan reaction. The last few seasons have felt jumbled and all over the map because of this. If they did what HBO shows do and what LOST is doing the final 3 seasons, the show would be as rewarding as seasons 2-3.
Janeane is a hypocrite and not as good as we thought... by Janeane The Acerbic Goblin	Aug 23rd, 2007 10:33:20 PM
Personally, I think it's really hypocritical of Janeane to do this show, considering she trashed it on AAR. I used to like her, but she's really gone downhill for a while, and she's not really as hip as she thinks she is. She was really rude on her Ratatoutille press tour (check out her Craig Ferguson appearance), and Ratatouille is one of her best films (even though she's not the star of it). I think there may be some talent left there, but 24 ain't gonna bring it out.
Well this is a major plus... by Saluki	Aug 24th, 2007 09:47:11 AM
... But will the actual storyline be worthwhile?
Janeane's lovin' the publicity... by Janeane The Acerbic Goblin	Aug 24th, 2007 07:49:18 PM
Garofalo is doing this role because of the publicity she's getting. She knew people would talk about it, and deep down inside she loves the attention (even though she has said she doesn't like doing interviews). She won't live up to the hype, though. She's a publicity hound. Google Janeane Garofalo interviews. The woman has done more interviews than any other minor celebrity EVER...
