Ricky Gervais in 24?

Ricky Gervais filmed a scene just for fun for season 6 of 24. He was too recognisable to be in the show, although you have may have seen Stephen Merchant pop up in the first episode. The scene Gervais filmed sounds brilliant:

"Ricky was just too recognizable to put in the show," "24" executive producer Jon Cassar told The Post. "But Stephen actually walks up to someone at CTU and hands them a piece of paper." Cassar said he hopes Gervais agrees to let the scene he filmed be included as a DVD extra. In the scene, a group of White House brass meet to discuss an impending terrorist threat. Gervais, dressed like a presidential advisor, keeps whispering under his breath to give the mission to Jack Bauer - and then acts incredulous when someone else says it aloud and takes credit for the idea.
