Janeane Garofalo joins 24
The little wisecracker will play a government agent on the team investigating the crisis surrounding Jack Bauer and crew. And though the politically-loud Janeane may have a clash or two with 24's producers, who are perceived to be among the most conservative in Hollywood, she'll fit right in alongside fellow plain Jane alt-comic Mary Lynn Rajskub, with whom she is sometimes confused-- and by whom she was replaced on The Larry Sanders Show back in the Nineties.
The big difference between the two? You'd never see a picture of Janeane getting a slobbering mouthkiss from Rush Limbaugh, as did Mary Lynn in a real-life episode she's still explaining away.
