Fan favorite Mary Lynn Rajskub is teaming again with Kiefer Sutherland for a 12-episode run of "24: Live Another Day" to debut next May on Fox.

The network said Thursday at the Television Critics Association meeting that Rajskub will reprise her role as Chloe O'Brien, the faithful counter-terrorist sidekick of Sutherland's Jack Bauer character.

Rajskub joined the original "24" series in its second season and appeared in the second-most episodes of any actor during the show's run from 2001 to 2010.

Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly says he's stopped by fans all the time thanking him for bringing back the Emmy-winning show.

Fox says the miniseries will take up Bauer's story several years after the events of the final season, with viewers following his foreign exploits in real-time.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
