More TV Guide spoilers from 4/27

hidden text below:

Question: Why haven't the producers of 24 made Mary Lynn Rajskub a regular yet? Chloe is one of the best characters on TV, and I think Monday's episode was my favorite hour of 24 all season. Chloe with a machine gun? Enough said. — Michael Meinecke

Ausiello: Prepare yourself for what I like to call an Ask Ausiello Super-Scoop, Michael Meinecke. Sources confirm for AA that Mary Lynn Rajskub (aka 24's terrorist-slayer Chloe) has just sealed a deal to return to 24 next season as a full-fledged, honest-to-goodness, Kiefer Sutherland-esque series regular! I suggest you join me in saying a big thank-you to the TV gods.

Question: What happened to the secretary of defense (William Devane) on 24? He just disappeared with no explanation. — Al

Ausiello: He snuck out for a few hours to shoot the ABC comedy pilot Crumbs.

Question: We don't get TV Guide magazine here in the Middle East, so please tell me who is the classic villain that is due to come back on 24 (Ask Ausiello 4/20/)? — 2good2betrue

Ausiello: I thought your name sounded Middle Eastern. Anyway, the classic villain who's making a comeback is lethal-handshake-girl Mandy (Mia Kirshner).

Question: Can you tell us if the two recurring characters who "bite it" on 24 are male or female (Ask Ausiello 4/20/)? — Joel

Ausiello: Both male.
