About Will and Grace

Will Truman (Eric McCormack) and Grace Adler (Debra Messing) are best friends and roommates in this adult comedy about two people who are perfect for each other, except that Will is gay.

Both living in New York, Will is a lawyer and Grace is an interior designer. Grace moves in with Will after leaving her fiancé at the altar. She plans to stay until she gets a place of her own, but ends up being roommates with Will. Grace does eventually move out, but only across the hall. Will is a gay yuppie who divides his time between his job and his devotion to best-chic-pal, Grace. Grace is a spacey, sweet, all-American girl who can't help but date jerks.

Enter Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes), Will's flamboyantly gay and energetic good friend, a well-meaning but a sarcastic and wise-cracking moocher. Will never fails to poke fun at Jack's behavior, but when Jack really needs him he will always be there to lend support and money. The ensemble is rounded out by Grace's secretary/assistant, Karen Walker (Megan Mullally): a rude, self-absorbed rich snob who is constantly sipping martinis and likes to tell Grace how to live her life. Don't get Karen wrong, she does have a soft spot...sometimes. There is also, Rosario (Karen's maid), whom Jack is pretending to be married to so she doesn't get deported. The hit show follows this wacky crowd and the crazy adventures they get themselves into.

Beyond outstanding ratings, the show has also been showered with Emmy awards, including an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Eric McCormak), Outstanding Supporting Actress (Megan Mullally) and Outstanding Supporting Actor (Sean Hayes).

Will & Grace has also been honored with a People's Choice Award, multiple Golden Globe nominations (2001's highest nominated series), two American Comedy Awards, three GLAAD Media Awards and a Founder's Award from the Viewers for Quality Television.

Emmy winners David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are executive producers and creators. Multiple Emmy Award winner James Burrows (NBC's "Frasier," "Friends") is director and executive producer.
