Will & Grace is an American television sitcom created by David Kohan and Max Mutchnick that aired for eight seasons on NBC from September 21, 1998, to May 18, 2006, and resumed on September 28, 2017.[1][2] The show earned sixteen Emmy Awards, and 83 nominations. Will & Grace is set in New York City and focuses on Will Truman, a gay lawyer, and his best friend Grace Adler, a straight woman who runs her own interior design firm. Also featured are their friends Karen Walker, a rich socialite; Jack McFarland, a struggling gay actor/singer/dancer who also has had brief careers as a choreographer, cater-waiter, nurse and talk show host; and Rosario Salazar, Karen's maid with whom she has a love-hate relationship.
Despite initial criticism for its particular portrayal of gay people, Will & Grace is the most successful series portraying gay principal characters, as it went on to become a staple of NBC's Must See TV Thursday night lineup where it was ensconced in the Nielsen for half of its network run. Every episode of the series was directed by James Burrows, one of the show's executive producers. In January 2017, NBC announced that the series would return for a 12-episode season during the 2017–18 season.[3] All four principal cast members (Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally) confirmed their return to the revival.[4] An additional four episodes were ordered on August 3, 2017, for a total of 16, and a tenth and eleventh season were also ordered.[5]
During the course of the series, 246 episodes of Will & Grace aired, concluding on April 23, 2020.

Will and Grace discuss how upset they are about Donald Trump being a candidate for President of the United States. Karen walks in, voicing her support for Trump, followed by Jack, who does not think he is going to vote because he is undecided. Grace tries to convince him to vote for Hillary Clinton, while Karen tries to convince him to vote for Trump. Shelley Morrison makes a cameo as Rosario. The cast reunited to film a 10-minute scene related to the 2016 United States presidential election where the characters talk about the importance of voting and who they think should win the election. It was released on September 26, 2016.[247] After the release of the webisode, it was rumored the show would get a revival, which was later confirmed by NBC in January 2017. |
