Seriously 😂, I had to double check to make sure this was new report. Gosh I would give anything to see an angry drunk Kiefer going Jack Bauer on someone (limited to verbal ofc).
Yeah like first off we are jumping to conclusions- there is a degree of likelihood that this “driver” was obviously part of a sleeper cell, and Kiefer was just doing his job.
One time I was out in Hollywood having drinks with friends at a divey sort of spot. Kiefer came in wearing a three piece suit, with a 20-something model on his arm. We were hammered so sadly we were NOT discrete, and immediately were like “holy shit you’re Jack Bauer!” (this was maybe 2011 so 24 was fresh on our minds). Told him we were fans, he said “thanks bro”.
He bought us a round of shots, said goodbye, and was gone.
he lent me his lighter and we smoked a cigarette together outside of a hotel in ann arbor. he also let me take a photo of him with my friends who were too shy to ask. super nice dude at least in that instance!
I saw him getting kicked out of Los Globos in Silverlake. Security stood in front of the door to keep him out. I was in my 20s at the time and was thinking, how sad..
I was just chilling one day and he passed by and handed me a box of takeout. At first I said I wasn't hungry but he was all "You don't like rice? Tell me, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong?" So I had some but I looked down again and it turned out I was actually eating maggots! Motherfucker walked away laughing to himself.
I saw Kiefer at a grocery store in Los Angeles once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I worked with him on rabbit hole, one night we were all drinking as a crew and he showed up, got hammered, paid for everyones bill and then kissed me on the cheeks goodnight... im also a guy lmao
I feel like all of the controversy would have been avoided if David Hayter didn't voice Big Boss in MGS3. He wanted Kurt Russell to voice him in MGS3 and Russell was just like "why would I voice of a ripoff of Snake Plissken? I was already Snake Plissken".
I've run into this dude a few times in a few different bars, and he's always super fuckin drunk, but he was always incredibly nice and easy to talk to. I'm surprised to read this.
Initial reaction to something like this is generally that it’s 100% his fault but we should remember that we don’t know that for sure. Assuming it is, I hope he takes accountability for it and comes out better on the other side.
Likewise. I was in Vegas, my buddy's brother was the GM at a well known stripclub, wound up chatting it up with Keifer. Came in all non-descript, flannel shirt, jeans, boots, driving a big ass pick up truck. Was on his way to his place in New Mexico he said. Eventually he asked me if there was a place nearby to get a drink, so I sent him half a block away to Kelly's bar. Later on, Kelly hit up my buddy's brother to thank me because Keifer wound up being some really cool guy, bought drinks for everyone all night.
So equally surprised to hear as he was nothing but super laid back, funny, and loved to talk about hockey lol. Guess we all have our demons.
That’s sort of the thing with addiction. He might be the nicest guy in the world usually, but once in a while chronically drunk people have a bad night. It’s just so much easier to make a bad choice when you’re drunk all the time that even the nicest people fuck up once in a while
Was Lost Boys the movie where that kid told Keifer “Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store vampire”? It’s been a few years since I saw it so I might be misquoting the movie.
Now that’s a throwback. My wife and I watched the whole series a decade ago, and we recognized a lot of faces. Blew our minds. I hated that show when I was a kid. It is adult humor for sure.
Don't hit my son with them negative waves so early in the morning. Think the bar will be there and it will be there. It's a mother, beautiful bar, and it's gonna be there. Ok?
“The investigation determined that the suspect, later identified as Kiefer Sutherland, entered a rideshare vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim,” Terzes said.
The confrontation was verbal, not physical, and unfolded after the driver allegedly repeatedly refused to allow Sutherland to cancel the ride and let him out, according to a source close to the investigation.
So did he physically assault him or not? And if this all went down because the driver wouldn't let him out of the car... I would argue that is some form of a self defense.
“Earlier today I shot my old partner, a friend of mine, because he tried to stop me from doing what I have to do. Don't think for a second that I won't do that to you.”
It's almost not fair to compare...on account of Keifer's total minutes of dialogue across the entirety of the game is...wait for it...22 minutes. By comparison In Metal Gear Solid 4 David Hayter had anywhere from 2 to 3 hours of spoken dialogue.
Even more ridiculous, there's many hours that kojima paid for him to record but just didn't end up using... Konami actually had a decent argument when you read into it, kojima really did waste a ridiculous amount of money on 5. Then didn't even bother to finish it before they got tired of his stuff.
yeah there's a lot of Metal Gear Fans that insist on just treating it as a "fuck Konami!" situation but the reality is that Konami wasn't necessary wrong about Kojima's wildly wasteful practices.
What doesn't help their case was that Kojima's track record with the series basically ensured they would recoup their expenses. Also they clearly just wanted to be a pachinko company for awhile there.
Victim sustained no injuries so sounds like kind of a nothingburger. Assault has a pretty broad range of definitions, it could be something extremely minor and this guy just recognized him and saw an easy paycheck.
You can tell Kiefer Sutherland is a good actor because he was able portray a kind hearted, well adjusted and mild mannered peacemaker on designated survivor whose such a boy scout he sounds like he has to practice being upset in the mirror because he's so agreeable and meek he doesn't know how to raise his voice or sound angry.
Meanwhile in real life he's a belligerent mess who gets in fist fights, drives like a maniac and is so consistently sauced that his blood is permanently 40% ABV
He's always been kind of an asshole. I remember Freddie Prinze Jr really hating working with him on 24. He's Tommy Douglas' grandson so I tolerate his buffoonery to a point.
In all the times I’ve met him he’s been very very nice.
Even introduced himself to me, not the other way around.
He does get really drunk though. I’ve seen him take a swing at someone and miss by a solid foot. To Kiefer’s credit the guy he swung at was an asshole and deserved it. Kiefer was very apologetic to the bar staff after.
With all that's going on in the world right now, its nice to see something familiar to ground us a bit.
Kiefer's shit faced and swinging at the help, everything's going to be okay.
Just give it 24hrs.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
No, no, it's: Beep. Beep. Boop. Beep.
Hey that’s my ringtone
Me too!
Beep. Beep. Boop. Boop... Bop?
Did you lose the bleeps?
And the sweeps, and the creeps.
Chloe, open up a socket now, damnit.
Son of a BITCH
Damn it Chloe
say that again
If it were a month earlier do you think we'd see him tackle another christmas tree?
He actually recreated this in a Christmas film called Tinsel Town that came out last month
hilarious
“Kiefer you’re a pirate, man”
that would explain everything
Had to look that up. Holy shit!
I'm glad he took an Uber and didn't drive! Next step will be not punching the driver
The twelve steps of getting home hammered.
He was airing his grievances. Ah hell, wrong holiday.
Just a little post-Festivus feats of strength.
Festivus isnt over until you pin a random service worker, Kiefer
If he'd taken a Waymo, he wouldn't be in this mess.
That driver knew where the bomb was.
So comforting!
I thought he was on the wagon. Oh well.
Bro everyones wagon is on the Oregon Trail right now, even his.
This shits choco mountain on 150cc and I've got the broken controller
The Cheeto stained transparent mad cat controller
I think I died of dysentery.
can I have some
How do you think they got the liquor from town to town? On a wagon.
You mean to tell me if I had put that drink six inches over to the right, Sutherland wouldn't have done this?
Could've been Hennigan's.
It's the no smell, no tell, scotch.
Is it on the wagon or off the wagon?
Seriously 😂, I had to double check to make sure this was new report. Gosh I would give anything to see an angry drunk Kiefer going Jack Bauer on someone (limited to verbal ofc).
Well, we need some stability around here
We could use a little bit of this and some unhinged mel aka meltdown gibson
Should have just given him the location of the bomb. This could have all been avoided.
Dammit, Chloe.
DAMMIT WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
AND WHERE THE HELL IS THE BATHROOM?! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN HOLDING IT IN TODAY?!
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (whatever that countdown noise is when the scene cuts)
I think when it was airing everyone online seemed to settle on UGH PLOP UGH PLOP.
There’s always a bit of this dramatic echo for a split second after each beep so you’re not wrong, it can sound like that
beep BEEP beep BEEP
"I'm gonna need a hacksaw"
She didn’t open a socket in time.
Son of a bitch!
DAMMIT!
SALT THE SNAIL
I clicked for 24 jokes and I am not disappointed.
23 left to go
22 now
(procedes to torture the uber driver)
DO IT NOW
Yeah like first off we are jumping to conclusions- there is a degree of likelihood that this “driver” was obviously part of a sleeper cell, and Kiefer was just doing his job.
The following takes place between 12 am and 1 am.
events happen in real time
Event occurs in real time
One time I was out in Hollywood having drinks with friends at a divey sort of spot. Kiefer came in wearing a three piece suit, with a 20-something model on his arm. We were hammered so sadly we were NOT discrete, and immediately were like “holy shit you’re Jack Bauer!” (this was maybe 2011 so 24 was fresh on our minds).

All the cool shit happens when I'm not in Ann Arbor. The most interesting people I see there are my doctors.
we were there for the folk fest which he played in! just happened to be staying at the same hotel
I saw him getting kicked out of Los Globos in Silverlake. Security stood in front of the door to keep him out. I was in my 20s at the time and was thinking, how sad..
Donald leaves a big acting shadow
Kiefer has surpassed that shadow in his own right and is legitimately a successful nepotism project.
I’m 28 and more familiar with Kiefer than Donald. Mainly from 24, Metal Gear Solid games, and that cool cowboy movie he did when he was real young.
Young Guns
Don't forget Lost Boys
I was just chilling one day and he passed by and handed me a box of takeout. At first I said I wasn't hungry but he was all "You don't like rice? Tell me, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong?" So I had some but I looked down again and it turned out I was actually eating maggots! Motherfucker walked away laughing to himself.
Holy shit this is hilarious

It's an old pasta sir, but it checks out.
same thing happened to me when I met Steve Blake
Honestly we can't keep letting celebrities get away with this exact scenario.
I worked with him on rabbit hole, one night we were all drinking as a crew and he showed up, got hammered, paid for everyones bill and then kissed me on the cheeks goodnight... im also a guy lmao
He has long had issues with alcohol.
At least he was taking a ride share instead of driving?
"Good evening, Mr. Sutherland, and welcome to Uber. Before you get seated, I'm going to need you to blow under a .09"
Best i can do is .24
still shouldn't assault the ride-share driver
That all depends on what sensitive information the driver was keeping from him.
Or the driver was actually a Christmas tree
That would explain everything.
Best video on the internet.
Oh you guys just have rules for everything these days. So who exactly is he allowed to assault then!?/s
Dude gets 24 hours every few years to punch as many people as he wants, he’s just being selfish taking all the punching.
24xThePurge
”I thought this was America!”
It’s called harm reduction
maybe the ride share guy was being a dick
Finally a reasonable take.
baby steps
Respectfully - it depends what valuable information he was withholding
As evident when he had a brief stint as a pirate
https://youtu.be/dCiageqMHJc?si=BBy2s0rJk3Mx5uVC
Fake news! He gets along swimmingly well with alcohol or did not read the article?
DAMNIT CHLOE CALL ME AN UBER
Jack it’ll be 18 minutes for a non-shared Uber!
DAMMIT! I NEED UBER BLACK!
Stand by Jack!
She’s too busy mashing it.
It would so surreal to be attacked by Jack Bauer.
SNAKE? SNAKE!!!!!
No! That is NOT Solid Snake!
man I totally forgot about all this and the controversy around it. Now I wanna replay MGSV
I was quoting MGS2, but yeah there was also that.
I feel like all of the controversy would have been avoided if David Hayter didn't voice Big Boss in MGS3. He wanted Kurt Russell to voice him in MGS3 and Russell was just like "why would I voice of a ripoff of Snake Plissken? I was already Snake Plissken".
He's already a demon
Uber driver: Kept you waiting, huh?
Kiefer:
Snakes? Snakes… Snakes… I don’t know no Snakes
I've run into this dude a few times in a few different bars, and he's always super fuckin drunk, but he was always incredibly nice and easy to talk to. I'm surprised to read this.
Initial reaction to something like this is generally that it’s 100% his fault but we should remember that we don’t know that for sure. Assuming it is, I hope he takes accountability for it and comes out better on the other side.
I guess it’s not completely impossible that he had some good reason to punch someone. But I would say it’s extremely unlikely.
Sometimes being a celebrity alone can draw out the worst in others. Sometimes it can draw out the worst in one’s self.
Likewise. I was in Vegas, my buddy's brother was the GM at a well known stripclub, wound up chatting it up with Keifer. Came in all non-descript, flannel shirt, jeans, boots, driving a big ass pick up truck. Was on his way to his place in New Mexico he said.

And maybe the uber driver was just being a fuckwit.
You mean the guy who realized he’s a pirate enjoys drinking?
https://youtu.be/PhB_3Jz0x_s?si=5lKANgWNay4aP82m
That Christmas tree was a terrorist.
TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT YOUR LIGHTS!
All of you younguns with your 24 jokes. Where the hell are the vampire jokes?
Hard to do a good vampire joke since he was invited into the car.
Are you a lost boy here?
That’s better!
Was Lost Boys the movie where that kid told Keifer “Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store vampire”? It’s been a few years since I saw it so I might be misquoting the movie.
That’s Stand By Me
No it’s stranger things
I seem to recall Corey Haim saying something like that. I haven’t watched it in almost 40 years, though.
Where are the MASH jokes?
Oh you kids mean THAT Sutherland?
Now that’s a throwback. My wife and I watched the whole series a decade ago, and we recognized a lot of faces. Blew our minds. I hated that show when I was a kid. It is adult humor for sure.
Don't hit my son with them negative waves so early in the morning. Think the bar will be there and it will be there. It's a mother, beautiful bar, and it's gonna be there. Ok?
LOUD BEEPING CLOCK NOISES
"TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB IS!!!!!!”
Old enough to remember when he fought that Christmas tree.
Uh what a contradictory story.
“The investigation determined that the suspect, later identified as Kiefer Sutherland, entered a rideshare vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim,” Terzes said.
The confrontation was verbal, not physical, and unfolded after the driver allegedly repeatedly refused to allow Sutherland to cancel the ride and let him out, according to a source close to the investigation.
So did he physically assault him or not? And if this all went down because the driver wouldn't let him out of the car... I would argue that is some form of a self defense.
“WHERE’S THE MICROFILM?!!!”
He’s been a messed up guy for a while. I’m surprised he’s still alive tbh
Damn it Jack!
“I WANT THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE YOU ARE WORKING WITH”
WHERE IS SYED ALI?
His customer rating is gonna drop, most probably…
BEHROOZ!
Read that in his mom's voice
That was ENTIRELY in her voice holy shit how'd you do that
“Earlier today I shot my old partner, a friend of mine, because he tried to stop me from doing what I have to do. Don't think for a second that I won't do that to you.”
-JB
I'm curious what led to the encounter. It'd be very random to get into a car like that and just start going after someone.
The driver knew where they were holding his daughter and wouldn’t give up her location.
Are you saying that you know for a fact that driver was a Cougar?*
*actual big cat, not a horny woman in her 40s
Maybe Kiefer thought the driver was a Christmas tree?
That would explain everything.
Every Christmas I watch that video repeatedly. It's so unhinged and hilarious.
Although poor tree and the workers who undoubtedly had to clean it all up.
DAVID HAYTER WAS THE BETTER SNAKE
It's almost not fair to compare...on account of Keifer's total minutes of dialogue across the entirety of the game is...wait for it...22 minutes. By comparison In Metal Gear Solid 4 David Hayter had anywhere from 2 to 3 hours of spoken dialogue.
It was a joke in response to what OP thought started the assault
...Well I'm saying it anyway! haha.
Even more ridiculous, there's many hours that kojima paid for him to record but just didn't end up using... Konami actually had a decent argument when you read into it, kojima really did waste a ridiculous amount of money on 5. Then didn't even bother to finish it before they got tired of his stuff.
I say this as a huge fan of his works.
yeah there's a lot of Metal Gear Fans that insist on just treating it as a "fuck Konami!" situation but the reality is that Konami wasn't necessary wrong about Kojima's wildly wasteful practices.
What doesn't help their case was that Kojima's track record with the series basically ensured they would recoup their expenses. Also they clearly just wanted to be a pachinko company for awhile there.
Hey…you’re pretty good!
Yeah, when has anybody ever gotten into a ride share drunk and belligerent?
most uber drivers have cameras so hopefully we will find out.
New season of 24 dropped!
I was gonna say it sounds like the designated survivor finally snapped.
One thing for sure Sutherland has NEVER been the designated drivour
Thanks for that, Boss!
Big Boss?
The driver didn’t TELL HIM WHAT HE NEEDED TO KNOW.
OR WHO HE WORKED FOR
Remember that YouTube video where he tackles a Christmas tree?
He had a long career before 24 both in acting and criminal misconduct. He’s a pro.
DAMMIT!
Victim sustained no injuries so sounds like kind of a nothingburger. Assault has a pretty broad range of definitions, it could be something extremely minor and this guy just recognized him and saw an easy paycheck.
There will most certainly be a video
"THERE'S NO TIME! TELL ME! WHERE IS IT?!?!"
"Um, sir. This is an Uber..."
He just needed to get across LA within the hour to stop a bomb!
Dammit Chloe
Probably trying to stop a terrorist attack.
Let me guess, he was drunk.
As long as he yelled “DO IT NOW!!!” during it I’m cool
You can tell Kiefer Sutherland is a good actor because he was able portray a kind hearted, well adjusted and mild mannered peacemaker on designated survivor whose such a boy scout he sounds like he has to practice being upset in the mirror because he's so agreeable and meek he doesn't know how to raise his voice or sound angry.
Meanwhile in real life he's a belligerent mess who gets in fist fights, drives like a maniac and is so consistently sauced that his blood is permanently 40% ABV
Thats a weird coincidence. I started my first rewatch of 24 very recently
Would 24 hold up for a new viewer? I’ve always meant to watch it. Wondering if it’s too dated now.
Still worth it
Alright then.
Definitely holds up. I'm midway through rewatching them again currently as I couldn't find anything else to settle on
He's always been kind of an asshole. I remember Freddie Prinze Jr really hating working with him on 24. He's Tommy Douglas' grandson so I tolerate his buffoonery to a point.
In all the times I’ve met him he’s been very very nice.
Even introduced himself to me, not the other way around.
He does get really drunk though. I’ve seen him take a swing at someone and miss by a solid foot. To Kiefer’s credit the guy he swung at was an asshole and deserved it. Kiefer was very apologetic to the bar staff after.
That right there is why you're the best, boss! The one and only!
Hey now not the worst thing a president has done just saying
I guess he truly is a Lost Boy.
Just a demon after all
WHERE’S THE SENTOX NERVE GAS???
This boy seems lost ....
Didn’t he attack a tree a few Christmas’ ago?
Why was the driver keeping him in the vehicle? It sounds like he wanted to force a fare.
He'll be out in 24H
