We have known for a while that Will & Grace was ending again this season, and today we found out when it’s sexond series finale is going to air. NBC announced that Will Grace and Jack and Karen will say goodbye to each other again on April 23rd.
Before, their final episode debuts, we will get a 30-minute retrospective hosted by Eric McCormack at 8:30p. It will feature clips from both runs along with comments from superfans like Norman Lear and Elton John.
Then at 9p, it is time for the finale “It’s Time,” with the apartment packed up, Will (Eric McCormack) is determined to not reminisce about his life in the city or his ex, McCoy (guest star Matt Bomer). Grace (Debra Messing), on the verge of giving birth, keeps having false alarms of going into labor. At the behest of Stan, Karen (Megan Mullally) goes to the top of the Statue of Liberty to get closure with her ex-husband. Jack’s (Sean Hayes) dream of taking a bow on a Broadway stage becomes a very real possibility. Minnie Driver and Brian Jordan Alvarez guest star.
I wonder if in a few years, when they bring the show back for a third time if they will make Will and Grace’s children disappear again?
I don’t know about you, but I am sad to say sayonara to the sitcom again.
Ellen DeGeneres doesn’t work on Fridays anymore. Therefore, Sean Hayes filled in for her on today’s show, and Matt Bomer, who plays his BFF’s ex-fiance’ on Will & Grace, was his guest.
The two of them played a game called Taste Buds. It is simple, the two hunky men are blindfolded, with their hands behind their backs, and they have to guess what the food is on the plate. Since they can’t see where the plate is, someone has to guide their faces down into it.
For Hayes’ first try, he got whipped cream, and that left the white stuff on his face. Bomer had the same problem with hummus. The next samples were solids, and they got stuck on what was ever left on their face. That, in turn, made the pretty mugs, not as handsome.
The game was boring, but their faces were funny covered with food. It would have been even funnier if the helpers really smashed their faces into the food instead of gently placing them down. I am sure that is not the first time Hayes has had a creamy substance all over his face. He seems like a pie in your face type of guy. Where did you think I was going with creamy substance?
Back in 1998, Debra Messing, Eric McCoirmack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes got the job of a lifetime when they landed their roles on Will & Grace.
Twenty-one years later, they are still playing the same parts. However, not for much longer. That is because the sitcom is coming to an end.
Before they say goodbye, they shared a photo from the beginning of the show’s run and one as they prepare to tape their last episode for a long time. In the two decades, neither the cast nor director James Burrows nor creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan have aged a day. They just got better haircuts!
Anyone who watches Will & Grace can tell that Debra Messing has been heavily influenced by Lucille Ball. Well this week, she and the cast of the NBC sitcom will be filming an episode that will be paying tribute to I Love Lucy.
According to Entertainment Weekly: Messing, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally will each play Lucy in a different dream sequence while Eric McCormack will recreate Ricky Ricardo. The mag says that, “Messing gets to play Lucy in a ‘Vitameatavegamin’ scene, Hayes will assume the title role in the chocolate factory, and Mullally will recreate the memorable grape stomping moment.”
The sitcom got the go-ahead to do it from Lucie and Desi Arnaz, Jr. with the former appearing on the special episode. We do not know what she will be doing, but she teased us with, “A very special guest star, playing a very fun role … Any guesses??” I have none.
While I cannot tell you what she will be doing on the show, I can tell you it will air sometime in the Spring before the sitcom signs off for a second time.

Before Sean Hayes starred in The Three Stooges, he worked with the modern-day stooges in Mo’ Money. He looks the same now as he did when he was 20 in that 1992 movie.
Last week when he was on Late Night, he told Seth Meyers why he got fired from the movie shortly after they filmed that cameo. I guess you can say he was not able to wiggle it out of that situation.
