Kiefer Sutherland on 'Designated Survivor': 'It's A Challenge to Write a Political Show at this Precise Moment'

Kiefer Sutherland stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday (February 27) and dished about playing a unqualified president on ABC’s Designated Survivor.

“It’s a challenge to write a political show at this precise moment,” the 51-year-old actor told Stephen. “You got nine or ten writers sitting in a room trying to think of something that’s going to be just shocking and unbelievable and I think they’re having a pretty tough time.”

“I am aware,” Stephen quipped, adding that, these days, “reality tends to leapfrog you no matter what you think of.”

That same evening, Kiefer joined his co-star Kal Penn at their 92nd Street Y Presents: Designated Survivor – Talk And Preview Screening held at the Kaufman Concert Hall.

Maggie Q & Kal Penn Tease 'Designated Survivor' Season 2 at Tribeca TV Fest!

Maggie Q flashes a big smile alongside her co-star Italia Ricci as they hit the red carpet together at the 2017 Tribeca TV Festival season two premiere of Designated Survivor held at Cinepolis Chelsea on Sunday (September 24) in New York City.

The 38-year-old actress and 30-year-old actress were joined at the event by their co-stars Kal Penn and Paulo Costanzo as they all sat down for a Q&A.

“At the end of last season, we did have to slightly change the ending because it was too close to home, because of what was happening [in real life],” Maggie revealed (via EW). “We were shooting it or we had the script, and what was happening in the news happened exactly in the script, and then we had to crop the ending as we shot it.”

“We’d head in a direction and then boom – it would happen,” Maggie added.
