To be honest, we don't exactly "get" VH1's latest "comedy" Free Radio—it comes off like some ill-conceived, pitchroom fever dream in which network execs were somehow slipped peyote pills in their Diet Cokes before being sold on a cross between Yo on E! and The Office, as hosted by a young Gilbert Gottfried. Still, the show managed to score some impressive talent for the debut episode:

none other than beloved Eastside mascot Kiefer Sutherland, in what might be his first national TV appearance since jail. They don't mention when it was taped, but we'll put our chips on prior to his incarceration, as the hot topic of the day is the Lost Boys sequel controversy that riveted a nation last summer, a springboard for the show's irritating host to make unfunny observations about how Kiefer's face reminds him of Jeffrey Dahmer's. All hail the conquering writers, if it means shuffling this crap off the air.

He's funny, too. Like I needed more reasons to love him.

i've got a great idea for the next 24 season. Let's have Jack Bauer watch this guy scream as he gets eaten alive by lions that escaped from a Zoo. I love how Kiefer is totally unfazed by his comments and how the female host is thinking "Our show is totally getting canceled next week if we don't fire this guy right now"

@Desk_hack: So true. The more we learn - the more we love.

I can make the smile look scary, too.
Oh baby, yes you can. Yes. you. can.

Wow. I just watched it through to the end. Is a lobotomy a job requirement for this show?

If Kiefer fought an earthquake, he might not win, but it would KNOW it had been in a fight, dammit!

It's good for my health that Kiefer smokes. Otherwise I'd leave the hubby and roam the Eastside, stalking the Kief like everyone else here wants to. The demon tobacco is literally the only thing I don't like about him. (cough sneeze wheeze)
