According to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, Garofalo, who’s signed on as a series regular, “will play a government agent who is part of the team investigating the crisis befalling Jack Bauer and Co. in the upcoming season.”
Three reasons why this TV Addict loves this signing: 1) We can only hope more of Garofalo’s WEST WING alum follow her lead. Martin Sheen for President anyone? 2) Garofalo will add some much needed humour to the heavy-handed show. 3) In her spare time, perhaps Garofalo can help out the 24 writers with some plot ideas. Rumor has it, the writers are having a bit of trouble this season coming up with new story ideas.
