Remember how the cast of Will & Grace filmed a little video around the 2016 election on a perfect replica of their set? Turns out that replica was the real thing and played a huge part in reuniting the cast for a video that eventually lead the comeback of the series 11 years after it was cancelled.
Debra Messing was on Live with Kelly and Ryan today and she explained the whole story. Both of the creators went to Emerson College and after the set was done at Smithsonian Museum, they sent it to their alma mater to live out its days.
Then one day, Max Mutchnick got a call from his old school that there was a leak where the set’s exhibit was and they needed to pick it up while they got it fixed. Well the executive producer came up with a brilliant, emailed his cast that he had the set and wanted to know if they would be interested in shooting that a little video to get people to go out and vote. Without hesitation they all said yes and the rest is Hollywood history.
