Well, after nine straight days of work, it seems that Jack Bauer is finally going to get a day off. Thank goodness! But, it does make you wonder: now that the show creators have a definite ending point, what’ll they do?
I’m sure the season was planned with enough wiggle room for another season, if warranted. Now that the warranty is up, I wonder there’s some scrambling around to re-shoot the ending. So, here’s the question: What’s going to happen to Jack? What do you think?
And now that he will get a day off, here’s 24 things Jack Bauer could do after 24:
- Go to sleep.
- Become a body guard for Chuck Norris (face it, if ANYONE can protect Chuck Norris, it’s Jack Bauer!)
- Poop.
- Catch up on all those TiVo’d episodes of Lost
- Laundry
- Become a nanny (Hey, it worked for Vin Diesel and Jackie Chan!)
- Teach an anger management seminar
- Start a carnival sideshow – The Amazing Threshold of Pain!
- Catch up with his daughter (snicker, snicker … yeah, right!)
- Go to the movies
- Get a Happy Meal
- Take art classes
- Become a vampire
- Volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters
- Go back to school (it’s what we all do when we’re at a loss of what to do … maybe he could go to med school …)
- Finally say something nice to Chloe.
- Two words: Mall Security
- Learn to cook
- Bullet-proof vest tester
- Terrorist
- HR Director
- Join the cast of Men of a Certain Age
- Direct
- Nothing. Jack Bauer will always fight the enemies of this country; TV show or not, dammit!
(Note: This started out as a top 5 list, but “24 things Jack Bauer can do after 24″ sounds more poetic … so admittedly, out of these 24 ideas, there seems to be a pretty tolerable top 5 list).
What are your ideas? What else could Jack do?
Brilliant! Great Post!
24 will be missed!
I certainly enjoyed the post:)
Number 7 – best idea to me – love its “subtle” sarcasm!
He’d be a killer PE-teacher!
Give me 50! NOW!
I think he should become a vampire or join the cast of Men of a Certain Age. Chuck Norris will never need a bodyguard.
Loved it, give me Mall Security any day !

He could try his hand at acting !
I love love love 24!!! Such a good show. Jack Bauer is def a hottie in that show. Amazing <3
Haha, this is great! I haven’t gotten around to the latest seasons, i start watching them but then the next episode comes around i forget to watch it!.. oh well, that’s what spare time is for. Watching 24!
Hilarious list!
I really hope they write a happy ending for once. Jack just needs to end up with Renee; no more cliffhangers and conflicts.
btw, I’ve wondered about #1 and #3 a lot actually…how exactly does that work?
Great post! Great ideas. I like #7. Hope Jack lives happily ever after. He deserves it.
Don’t make such list right now…24 should go up to 24 season…
Fortunately for Jack Bauer, it wasn’t 9 straight days. If you have been following the series you’d know that there have been multiple presidencies and years passed in between seasons. NOT that Jack Bauer COULDN’T do 9 straight days!
Great post!!!!
Once he retires he can go round making it up to everyone he kicked, punched, shot, stabbed, etc, etc – in the manner of My Name Is Earl. Apart from the all the dead guys maybe.
He should get in touch with his feminine side.
#6 is too funny lol
Since they are going to make it into a movie (at least planning to do this), I think Jack will live. =)
I say #14 to help with his image after the brush with the law.
BAAAAHAHAHA! I’m giggling at the idea of him becoming a vampire. Did you know Snoop Dogg is trying to wedge his way into True Blood, by the way? I bet if they let Snoop in, they’ll welcome Kiefer Sutherland, too.
Nice post! I love the Men of a Certain Age one. It made me laugh out loud.
become a nanny
“Become a body guard for Chuck Norris” is just plain silly—why would Chuck Norris want a body guard?
Great post
