Did anyone else notice that last night's season premiere of 24 featured a terrorist named "Tomas Sherak"? (It was a little hard to miss, since the name was mentioned about a dozen times during the episode.) The real-life Tom Sherak, of course, is a partner at Revolution Studios and the former chairman of Fox's film division. Naming a terrorist after a studio exec really lacks the shout-out cachet of, say, the writers of The O.C. slipping their agents' names into their show.

Variety's Brian Lowry noticed the similarity in names a few weeks ago, but the producers said it was just a "weird coincidence." Of course it was! When they stuck their finger into the Hollywood Creative Directory looking for a name for the evil terrorist, it could've landed on anyone.
