Just a hunch here, but we don’t think that 24 will come to an end soon. Or ever, now we come to mention it.
It can’t. Kiefer Sutherland can’t afford for it to stop. Because, if reports are to be believed, Kiefer Sutherland has been conned out of $896,000 by a huckster operating a fraudulent cattle-based scam. Apparently Kiefer was promised a tidy return for an investment into a Mexican cow-selling scheme that looks as if it didn’t ever exist.
Which means that 24 will probably continue for years, until it largely revolves around Jack Bauer bursting into rooms and then immediately forgetting what he went in there for. We’d watch it.
If you ask us, steer roping promoter Michael Wayne Carr is the luckiest man alive. Well, maybe not the luckiest – nobody with the name Wayne Carr could ever be considered to be the luckiest anything – but he’s certainly up there. Why? Because the police found him before Kiefer Sutherland did.
According to reports, not so long ago Kiefer Sutherland was approached by Michael Wayne Carr, who presented a too good to be true, once in a lifetime investment opportunity which inevitably turned out to be too good to be true – and now Kiefer is $896,000 out of pocket. EW has details:
The San Joaquin County, Calif., District Attorney?s office claims the actor was told by an adviser that Carr would net a large profit selling cattle bought from Mexico. No evidence points to any purchases. Carr will be arraigned on 12 felony charges, including three counts of forgery, two counts of obtaining money by false pretenses, and five counts of theft with ?great taking enhancements.?
But as we’ve already pointed out, Michael Wayne Carr is the one who should be counting his blessings here. Being arrested by the police and potentially serving a long jail sentence is nothing compared to the punishment that Kiefer Sutherland would have doled out if he’d got hold of Michael Wayne Carr first. And that’s not just because he’s Jack Bauer, either – even we know that the man we see on 24 shooting people in the chest and suffocating his own brother with a freezer bag is a work of fiction.
No, we mean the real Kiefer Sutherland. Cross real-life Kiefer Sutherland and anything could happen to you – you could be on the receiving end of a vicious headbutt, or you could be taken on a terrifying drunken joyride around Los Angeles or, at the very least, you could be made to dress up like a Christmas tree so that Kiefer can fling himself at you like a lunatic. Really, this outcome was best for everybody.
As for what’ll happen to Michael Wayne Carr now he’s been arrested, it’s anyone’s guess. Although, having said that, his chances of getting to kiss Anne Hathaway on the mouth have probably just risen exponentially.

LOL. I’m not a big fan of 24 either, and I think the story will just go on and on and on.
