Better Left Unsaid
In 2017, the cast went on the Today Show to promote the series and talk to super-fan Russell Turner. During the interview, host Megyn Kelly asked Turner “is it true that you became a lawyer– and you became gay– because of Will?” The cringe-worthy moment only worsened when after awarding Turner with tickets to see a live-taping of the show, Kelly stated she was unsure of Turner’s journey toward a law degree but believed “the ‘Will & Grace’ thing and the gay thing is going to work out great!” To this day when confronted about her appearance on the show, Debra Messing has stated she “regret[ted] going on” and is “dismayed” by Kelly’s comments.
