Mary Lynn Rajskub's nerdy Chloe has long been my favorite part of Fox's "24," and the pleasure is only doubled this season, as the show's added another comic, Janeane Garofalo, to the mix as a sort of Bizarro World Chloe, but within the FBI.
So far, we've only seen the pair not exactly together on one of "24's" split screens, but Rajskub, who's here -- looking beautiful and yet still Chloe-like -- promises we'll see them in the same place at some point.
Rajskub, who's known Garofalo for years, said, "We tried not to laugh when we were in scenes together. You may notice that our eye lines are off," because they were afraid to make eye contact.
The actress, whose pregnancy was written into the show at the end of the previous season -- she delivered a 9 pound, 5 ounce baby boy in July -- joked, deadpan, that she'd become pregnant as quickly as she could to match the script.
"That's how committed I am," she said.
A few minutes later, some reporter comments on how "slim" Kiefer Sutherland remains and asks the actor for his fitness secrets.
Most of us hate even hearing questions like this -- if I wanted the stars' workout tips, I'd read entirely different magazines -- but Sutherland, who plays "24's" Jack Bauer, probably scores a few points when he suggests his secret is "fear and panic."
