As NBC’s Will & Grace returns to our screens for season 2, stars Debra Messing and Eric McCormack joined us for a compelling conversation, looking back at the beloved show’s razor-sharp jabs, its warmth and wit, and its unprecedented political and social relevance.
They shared their proudest moments, told behind-the-scenes stories of how it all came together, and look forward to Season 2 of the show’s revival. They also shared news of projects, like Debra Messing’s movie Searching, which went to Sundance, and opened August 24.
Recorded on October 1, 2018 at the 92nd Street Y.

Eric's "i love to work remark" is SO Will and Deb's "i hate it" is SO Grace. Their dynamic is ❤

Watched it all and I like Grace's honesty about how it took her a while to get back into character. I remember thinking the same thing.

Eric McCormack as Will Truman is really the absolute BEST tv performance ever. Never, ever a moment when his posture, his vocal intonations, his emotional components aren't completely spot-on. Best. ever. Forever, maybe. ( Tyne Daly as Mary Beth Lacy, best female. Love her. )

The problem is nostalgia is not always helpful. It is easy to see the past through rose colored glasses.

Will needs a Keanu Reeves!!!! Why not? He's super edgy and such a sweetheart he would be willing to do a guest apperance.

Ali’s shirt is buttoned wrong! Look at her collar- one side is way higher than the other. How did production not catch that?? 😂

Debra Messing should have played a newer version of the Thin Man as an older Myna Loy.

*FWIW, I have purchased all the disks for the original, and enjoy them periodically through the year. the best line in all the shows is "George Stephanopoulos." I would love to love Will, even though he is technically not my type. however, he is a great man, and if he doesn't want to marry Patrick [whatshisname], I will make myself available.*

Eric still so handsome and sexy after all these years ! This interviewer though....who is she ? One thing for sure is she is ANNOYING ! She insists on throwing out an unfunny quip right after she asks a question.She does it through most of the interview. I wish they would have used a better host/ interviewer. Grace/Debra a lot more serious than I knew or expected this actress to be ! At times though, she almost seemed a bit pompous in her attitude, but that is probably because I was expecting more funny down to earth Grace in her rather than remembering that this is Debra Messing not Grace. Not a criticism, but I think I enjoy the "softer" Grace personality than Debra. Eric though, still the same and charming as Will. Is the reboot version still on in 2020..or was it cancelled ? ?

Debra is very serious and passionate in real life and very stubborn. I watched her do multiple interviews during the previous political race and she was pushing Hilary Clinton onto all of us 🤮🤢

I was hoping they would say Debra was much kinder, had more compassion and moral values, and not near as shallow as Grace. Oh well...😏

Social media is the end of civilization. We just have to facebook it- I mean, face it. We're just tumblring down a rabbit youtube- hole. Ugh, when I'm nervous I twitter- jitter! You've probably lost pinterest. No instagram gratification here. Haha... that kind of twerked- worked!

35:50, what a load of crap!! There is literal footage of behind the scenes of Friends rewriting on the spot because a line didn't take in front of the audience. There are interviews with the 6 cast members where they talk about this very thing. They all talk about how they stopped in front of the audience and rewrote lines depending on how the audience responded. WTF, DM!?? 🤔😧🤥

She has the most obnoxious laugh, good grief!! It's unbearable. Also, I'm rewatching the show from the beginning. I've realized that Grace has absolutely no redeeming qualities. Jack & Karen are there for the laughs and I think it's obvious they're not suppose to be based in reality. Grace however, is suppose to be relatable. Grace is a horrible person!! 🙂✌️

Ali Wentworth, whoever that is, is just horrible. Desperate, climber, scene chewing and embarrassingly unfunny. How soon things on the show imploded. The real star of the show, Megan Mullally, was bullied and sidelined by her friends and the final season must have been horrific for her. Debra is a great actress but her political side is too extreme and leaked into the show, alienating the viewers, who deserted it en-masse.

Yes watching her so far up Hilary Clintons ass during the race was disgusting. Especially knowing what we know now -
