The award-winning, ground-breaking, and much-loved cast of Will & Grace are back after 10 years, and they have a strong Will & Grace-style video message for their fans regarding the 2016 Election.
The show was the first outwardly LGBT sitcom consisting of a zany and hilarious gang of friends that include; Will Truman (Eric McCormack), an intelligent gay lawyer—who is best friends with Grace Adler (Debra Messing), a slightly ditzy interior designer— who employs Karen Walker (Megan Mullally), a drinking, pill-popping very funny rich snob who just works for something to do, and Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes), a lovable and very shallow gay man who never grew up.
The reunion clip opens up with a scene on the original set of Will and Grace’s apartment in New York City, and within seconds, Will asks Grace, “How is it possible that Donald Trump is a nominee for president of the United States?” They both, not paying attention, confuse the conversation and at one point when Grace is talking about Trump and Will is talking about some fantasy, Will realizes and says, “Oh, I’m talking about the wrong dick.”
Karen, representing the 1% comes in with flags and toting Trump handbag. Grace reminds Karen that that Karen’s closest friend, her housekeeper Rosario, is a Mexican-American and Donald Trump has said terrible things about the Latino community. Karen talks about how she generously sent Rosario to college. Will interrupts her and says, “You mean, Trump University.” He adds Trump University does not count as a bonafide college and “dusting” is not a bonafide major.
Jack comes in upset about the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie splitting up — on the same day he broke up with his latest beau (an often occurrence with Jack). Will and Grace ask Jack if he’s voting for Hillary which Jack resents them asking. He says “not all gays think alike” finishing his sentence with Will. Karen expresses glee that Jack might be on the “Trump Train,” but Will he’s not voting for Trump either and he’s not sure he’ll vote at all. Will and Grace tell him he has to vote—it’s un-American not to vote! Karen also pressures on Jack to vote for Trump or else he’ll have to deal with people who are like the audience of the Broadway hit, Hamilton. She adds, “And the play has George Washington as president — as if a black man could ever be president!”
The next scene shows Will saying, this is the most important election of our lifetime. Grace reminds Jack that Hillary has been a two-time First Lady, she has been a senator, secretary of state, and she is going to appoint the best justices to the Supreme Court who will protect Jack’s civil rights. Grace adds she’s never dreamed of being a president because no woman has ever been, and she can think of no better message to send to little girls (and little boys who are going to be little girls, and little girls that are going to be little boys...) that one day they too could hold the highest position in this country. She tells Jack, If he helps elect Hillary Rodham Clinton, “then you, ‘Just You’ “ (Using “Just Jack” hands) will be a part of the America that finally shatters the glass ceiling. Feeling patriotic and emotional, Grace breaks out into, “Go Tell It On the Mountain,” which drives the cast (and 10 years of audiences) crazy.
Will asks Jack, “What’s it going to be?” Jack says he’s pondering, but he still hasn’t heard the one thing that has convinced him to want to vote for one candidate over the other. Will tells Jack,, “Katy Perry likes Hillary.” and that does for Jack who then who looks at Karen and says, “Sorry, Kare—I’m with her.”
