"Do you have a flag? Tell me now or millions of people will die!"
My favorite comedian teamed up with my favorite TV show. This should be interesting. Odd, but interesting.
He was vaguely menacing as a villain in the 1998 Avengers movie, in a weirdly Clockwork Orange sort of way.
I may start watching 24 again if only to see Eddie Izzard. Eddie Izzard is my hero.
That’s approximately fourteen distinct kinds of awesome.
I have never viewed a single episode of 24.
If I start recording it to watch when Eddie shows up, am I gonna be confused?
Probably not, though old characters do tend to pop up randomly.
“Death, death, death, death, LUNCH…death death death…”
…you’re lucky I’m Church of England…
“Running, jumping, climbing up trees, putting on make-up when you’re up there.”
I wasn’t sure how the show could get better. Thank Og someone more creative than I is handling the casting for the show. This is going to be so cool.
“Cake or death?”
“Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry…”
“You said death first, uh-uh, death first!”
“Well, I meant cake!”
“Oh, all right. You’re lucky I’m Church of England!”
“Well we’re out of cake!”
Eddie could really stand up under interrogation with those rambling monologues. Suddenly, I think Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Icecube will have some competition as my favorite people on 24.
Yay!
You know an overrated FOX show is slowly dying and reaching for ratings when…
What movie? There was no such movie. Didn’t happen.
I think you hire somebody a little bigger than Eddie Izzard if you’re trying to boost your ratings.
Several other sites are reporting it also. I hope its’ true and not a Rowan Atkinson as Lord Voldemort style rumor.
Access Hollywood (I know. I know. It came up first on Google) adds this (general background for season six):
Season five concluded with a battered and bloodied Bauer captured by Chinese government agents and headed for points unknown. Season six picks up 20 months later. Wayne Palmer (DB Woodside), the strong-minded brother of the late President David Palmer, is now himself the President of the United States, while his sister, Sandra Palmer (Regina King), is a determined and powerful advocacy lawyer. After a series of horrific terrorist attacks, Palmer and his team of advisors, KAREN Hayes (Jayne Atkinson) and THOMAS LENNOX (Peter MacNicol) – as well as CTU colleagues CHLOE O’BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub), CURTIS MANNING (Roger Cross) and BILL BUCHANAN (James Morrison) – begin an unthinkable, nail-biting day.
Jack Bauer gets an adorable 6 year old boy as a sidekick?
I’ve never watched a season of 24. This is cool enough to make me watch it. I just pray we get a monkey with a gun.
I do have to wonder if this means that at some point Kim will be covered in beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees…
