Donald Trump Is Responsible for 'Will & Grace' Reunion
by EG
We can thank President Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for the upcoming revival of Will & Grace, according to Debra Messing.
"The campaign season between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton absolutely was the catalyst for us coming back," the actress, 48, revealed at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills on Thursday, August 3. "If that election did not happen and it was a different kind of campaign season, we could not be here right now."
The NBC sitcom's original cast members Messing, Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes first reunited in September 2016 for a nine-plus-minute video released hours ahead of the first presidential debate.
"Just doing that made us realize that there is a kind of magical synergy between the four of us that just is there," Messing, who plays Grace Adler, said at TCA. "And the writing was just so smart and funny and relevant. I think that gave us all the confidence to say, 'OK, will this work in everyone's lives? And if it does, by all means, let's dive in together.'"
