Will and Grace Trivia

The first ads to promote Will and Grace played down the fact that Will was gay. NBC wasn't entirely confident about how that would be received by the potential audience.

In episode #13, "The Unsinkable Mommy Adler", Bobbi Adler (played by Debbie Reynolds) sings the song, "Good Morning, Good Morning". Debbie sang the same son in the classic movie, "Singin' in the Rain (1952)".

Debra Messing has a couple of titles to her credit. In 1986 she won the title of "Junior Miss" in the state of Rhode Island. In 2003 she was named "Best Dressed Woman" by TV Guide magazine. Debra is also well-educated having received a Master's Degree from New York University. And please don't send her any flowers or perfume. She's very allergic to them.

Eric McCormack is also a college graduate with a degree from Ryerson University's School of Theatre in Toronto. Eric was originally from Canada but has since received U.S. citizenship while also remaining a Canadian citizen. He obviously respects both of those honors. At the 2004 National Hockey League game he sang both the Canadian and U.S. national anthems!

There were five episodes where Debra Messing missed her cast call. They were episode numbers 123, 138, 139, 140, and 141. She had a good reason though. She took a little maternity leave.

Karen Walker's squeeky voice was not an original trait. It didn't appear until after a few episodes.

Jack's website "www justjack com" was once a real website. It had some pictures and a letter that Jack's wife Rosario had written to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. When we last checked, it simply redirected us to the official NBC Will And Grace TV show website.
