The LIVE episodes but it's just the cast breaking | Will & Grace

[@KeepSmiling09]

That whole 15 seconds of Megan's silence on the edge of laughter is delicious

[@TightyWhitieTrash]

I was waiting and waiting…and waiting for her to even have a slight giggle. Obviously, she refused to look at Sean during that silence 😆

[@evancarlson9329]

Her ability to not break is absolutely wild to me.

[@geektifyy]

She wanted to laugh so bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnShanklin-nc7ql]

It's her looking at him

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

"I see you're curious too, Jack." Kills me every time. She is Vicki Lawrence calibre.

[@jodiewilcox6772]

YES!!

[@PowerDiva]

I love how you can see the internal struggle she was having not to break when she saw his eyebrow. That's why she kept looking down for so long before continuing with her line. Kudos to Megan Mullally for holding it together!

[@Redrunner812]

I got a feeling that line was not part of the script 😂

[@steveb7429]

When Sean said “.. and swing on it till dawn!! “ I completely lost it, and I don’t know how Debra managed to get through that scene at all

[@blugreen123]

My husband and I say, "The more you know...and shooting star" to this day because of this episode. 🤣

[@markycypress8484]

i did not even remember this was where i got this lol

[@willyboy6126]

It's hilarious...and I remember either Jack or someone else said that it "gave him the *permanently interested* look"....LOL🤣

[@the_petty_crocker]

What's funny is that Will and Karen ARE the moral center of their group.

[@lauratroy13]

How is it karen?

[@AshLee92490]

Karen has the lowest morality in the crew lol...

[@kenziemorace2837]

You mean jack ?

[@kenziemorace2837]

Like the most popular or whatever and the funniest

[@shermantaylor4996]

Amoral?

[@evangelle82]

I like how Karen did NOT break. Amazing.

[@explodingplant2]

She's famous for not cracking altho you can see her fighting it when she looks at Jack. The one time I remember she and Sean (and Debra) could NOT hold it together was as Karen and Jack freeze while eating ramen, relying on the ol' "their eyeset relies on movement" trick to evade Grace staring them in the face

[@PowerDiva]

@@explodingplant2there's another blooper where she breaks too - an elevator scene with Molly Shannon. Megan Mullally is famous for not cracking, but she's admitted that Molly Shannon is one of the few people who can get her to break.

Yes

really love how Sean helps Debra cueing on her missing line 3:17

[@williamwchuang]

Wow I missed that.

[@canny_linguist]

She was really struggling to keep it together 😂

[@psI6]

I remember laughing until I cried when Jack revealed his missing eyebrow and then again when Grace drew in the replacement.

[@kenziemorace2837]

Same 😂 I laughed so hard I was in tears 😂

[@JUDYACST]

Very like when Elaine had to draw eyebrows on for Uncle Leo on Seinfeld.

[@Cibafricanizando]

​@@JUDYACST😂😂😂😂 oh that was hilarious too

[@Ciclopea2]

I remember watching these live, they did them twice because of the east coast/west coast time difference, i think i got to see the east coast one, absolutely brilliant and Sean and Debra were an absolute MESS 😂 but it made the whole thing funnier. Definitely a highlight from an already brilliant and original run of this show.

[@toddanthony6664]

I wish they'd post the west coast versions of these episodes. Those were the ones that had mistakes. In Alive and Schticking, Sean and Debra flubbed several lines. In the west coast version of Bathroom Humor, the pill bottles came out much later than expected.

[@Izzymoggington]

i saw both versions on TV years ago but can only find one of them now and the other one was so much funnier

[@Ciclopea2]

@@Izzymoggington in my memory i think i got to see bits of both versions. I remember that in the other one when Jack tells Grace that she relies too much on her hair Debra loses it, maybe they were doing that scene for the first time. I wish they would post highlights from both versions.

[@silvermillennial]

I NEVER REALIZED THERE WERE TWO VERSIONS?! 👀👀👀

[@cburns226]

I have been wanting the west coast version online for years, it was so so funny

[@mikeyc4525]

OMG, the eyebrow thing had me rolling. This show kept me in tears of laughter.

[@LadyEng]

Megan never breaks. Eric rarely does. I love all of them.

[@blurdreamer]

7:49 you can see the split second that Megan almost break when she look at Jack, but she hold it in real quick XD so pro.

[@scottgarbo1288]

Each one of these amazing, talented, lovable actors played their characters to the hilt and no one was weaker than the others or had to be carried. They made television magic ❤

[@sharonlacy1837]

I don't know how they ever made it through an episode. How did they stop the laughter? LOVED this show.

[@CrashloveXO]

I was fortunate enough to attend one of these revival seasons tapings. IT WAS SO FUNNY when you get to see everything and the bloopers in real time.

[@Goddessvenom]

The “curious” eyebrow reveal has me ugly cackling like a hyena 🤣😂

[@Willow76ny]

Live or taped, I don’t know how any of them managed to keep a straight face at all. Great job!

[@nancylong3933]

Met him in Chicago at Roscoe restaurant and he is so awesome. So very genuine and kind!!!

[@ZAjosh]

The best is Megan almost cracking at 7:49 I loved the live shows.

[@gahtheone]

Absolutely genius to make them live 😂

[@gottalovetheinternet]

They were ?! Wow. So they’re like recorded plays, basically? I know friends was recorded live but they would do take after take to get the best scene.

[@Tia.H]

@@gottalovetheinternet they're recorded in front of a live audience with many takes, trying to get the right ones and cutting out the bloopers, allowing time to move from set to set and wardrobe changes and hair and makeup. 'Alive & Schticking' (first episode of season 8) and 'Bathroom Humour' (11th episode of the 8th season) were the exceptions, as they were recorded live - no retakes; the cameras kept rolling.

[@thisiscuvo]

@@Tia.H the 2 eps were broadcasted live too, not just recorded and then broadcasted.

[@gottalovetheinternet]

Ah wow, thats great thank you! I must watch those episodes again@@Tia.H

[@Tia.H]

Yes, you're right. @@thisiscuvo I read that after I had made the comment, but forgot to come back and edit my comment. I love when episodes are filmed (and broadcast) live, especially seeing the actors break character! Meghan and Eric are pros, able to just push through without breaking! Well, you see Meghan struggling a bit - she was looking everywhere but in Sean's direction, trying to keep from bursting out laughing. Eric, though... he cracked during the second live, but the first one, nothing; not even a small smile! I don't know how any of them are able to keep from laughing all the damn time!

[@ismayb754]

Great complilation guys well done! You can see Megan trying SO SO hard not to smile haha.

[@nowandaround312]

I love how they gave Debra and Sean a long scene together, the two people most likely to lose control

[@popland1977]

Megan was a master at staying in character

[@weremyjiggins89]

I was just about to say that she is professional as hell. She's a theater girl, though. She knows the show must go on. You can see an ever so slight grin as she's trying to keep it together. Also, when she says, "I see you're curious too, Jack.", her saying "jack" breaks voice a bit. If I didn't rewatch it 10 times just now I wouldn't have seen.

[@paulac2006]

I always thought of this grin as her one tiny break as I loved seeing them all break, but she did that cute endearing grin each time they’d reference one of her ridiculous life traits or schemes haha so it kind of just passed as her ‘cutesy’ child-like grin she always did. I wish she’d broke but I love her being so professional haha

[@Skillet_Bboy]

Isn’t it Karen?

[@christinespiers-wy9kr]

I miss Will and Grace!

[@RandomPlayIist]

@@Skillet_Bboy The name of the actress staying in character is Megan, her character is Karen.

[@christopherporter2459]

The look on Sean's face at 3:46 is absolutely priceless... The fact that it stays like that for nearly 25 seconds (presumably) is just so funny

[@meganarey6883]

Their live shows 😂 omg 😂😂 HOW did they keep it together at all?? Sean Hayes is frigin hilarious!! That could Not have been easy at all!

[@Aussie_Stitch]

I love these two episodes. It's so much fun watching them try not to break character by laughing

[@chightower1989]

I still can't get over Jack's "curious" eyebrow.☠😅😂🤣

[@bradleymoon1248]

When Jack says to Grace, "Tell me about this business...." he's clearly cuing her because she forgot her line. These clips are the best!

[@thatsassyrepublican]

“Tell me how you feel about this business then?” Good save jack. Keep grace grounded lmao

[@Bwrandon]

This made me feel like they were real friends in real life and it was so nice lol

The 10 thousand prescription bottles falling out of Karen’s bathroom cabinet is one of the funniest gags in comedy history. Completely hilarious 😎😎😎

[@littledotti]

One of my top all time shows.

Who else remembers how they did this entire thing LIVE TWICE for the East Coast broadcast then the West Coast broadcast? I remember Debra breaking both times on Jack’s “swing on it ‘til dawn” line but she did way better with suppressing it the 2nd time around. Too bad the West Coast broadcast was never to be seen again.
