Jack & Karen Takeover: The HILARIOUS duo in Will & Grace

[@Citizen2228]

Best comedy duo... ever? Their timing is impeccable.

[@MikeLaczny]

Jack and Karen, and Key and Peele. Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson....

[@WolfstarGaming1]

Their rendition of "Unforgettable" is just that. Amazing voices, amazing actors.

[@loishenz1759]

It was awesome

[@Jay-c3t3f]

Their duet will be unforgettable

[@Victrola66]

I still love all four main characters - no matter how you paired them, they worked!

[@jasoncrespo1397]

Yes! This! Jack and Karen are definitely a powerful dynamic duo, all pairings worked really well and had there special moments.❤

[@oceaser6977]

So true- didn’t matter the pairing the chemistry was there

[@dannydark1452]

I think we can ALL AGREE that jack and karen were the stars of the show and carried it for as long as the show went on

[@billiejoemerick7564]

Or at least 30 people😊

[@gaywerewolf1294]

Tbh I love them but I don't think they carried it. It was the balance between all 4 that carried it imo

[@saidtheactress]

They were the pastrami between the Will and Grace rye.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

Sean and Meghan really showed how absolutely, totally multi talented they are with the song they sang in their finally episode. Unforgettable, is NOT an easy song to sing, nor is an easy song to sing ANY PLAY, but these two pro did it MASTERFULLY. And I cried the first time they did it, and I found myself tearing up watching it again. This was truly one of the all time best casts TV has EVER seen. And I miss the fun and laughter each Thursday night!

[@caroleeb1997]

such talents

[@wendyvanzyl3064]

They were an absolute joy to watch.. As a couple, they pulled off the most hilarious scenes...

"Not in the lie!" is one of the great lines of the series.

[@ShelliGriffith-mg9jt]

I agree!! The whole concept was brilliant. It wasn't just hilarious it was relatable!!!

[@Lostinhishead]

My crush was Will, and the shaping of my personality 😂. But Karen and Jack were the loves of my life 😂😂😂 my humor is definitely built around them, and the Golden Girls lol

[@AaronMatthews-wm3im]

My favorite characters in the show by far. Jack and Karen are the stars and are both absolutely hilarious.

[@JazzyJas1630]

I agree ❤❤❤

[@alanwilkinson1239]

Absolutely! Essentially it was the Jack and Karen show.

[@rondellthreadgate8092]

They are the show

"He went doily down the street." ❤ James Earl Jones' visit to Jack's acting class.

You mean James "girl" Jones. That's what Jack called him in the class.😅

I absolutely LOVED when they ate at Jacques 😂😂😂, those were always my favourite scenes.

[@wanderlust4evr995]

UNFORGETTABLE❤Best Moment Shared between 2 Adorable Unbelievably Talented cast members in the History of TV Sitcoms! I still remember watching this and sobbing…well and as usual not knowing whether I was really crying, or laughing thru a lot of tears. They were Incredible Together! Thank You for this beautiful rendition Jack & Karen 4ever! No Worries, Will & Grace you were Remarkable too! xoxo🎉

[@melodygomez5575]

23:33 the lady laughing in the audience after Jack screamed ROSIE😂😂😂😂

[@denverz9626]

These characters gave me confidence!!! I was 10 in 1998 when this world began. I'm 36 now in 2024, and I'm only getting younger and younger as I wake up laughing.. knowing it will still be the best part of waking up. I love JACK & KAREN

[@paulcastillo8488]

I love when they sing Unforgettable!!

[@rogerdale5451]

Mr. Hayes almost looks like he's actually playing the piano in that last scene. What a talent... Now I'm in tears (just a bit). Oh I miss those years, and I took them for granted. I might have treated those evenings at those particular hours at the Midnight Sun as special, albeit packed...if I'd had any sense. Oh lord...S.F. in the 90s.

[@kennyhayesmusic7499]

He's actually an extraordinary pianist, so he probably was. The editing may have been cut to fit everything together, but I'd put good money on the fact that he actually played during that scene. Sean Hayes won a Tony this year for playing pianist and comedian Oscar Levant and I know he played the keys in the show. I wish I'd seen him in action there.

[@macomg.7169]

This video is already iconic

[@paulasullivan18]

There was Always Lot’s of Laughter on Will & Grace😂😂😂🥰😊💯👍🏼

💯Agree. No show without them. ❤

[@ohiosharon8945]

I love Jack and Karen!❤ And their singing "Unforgettable is the best! I am rehooked on Will and Grace. Thanks for putting on KZbin!

[@davidpatterson555]

I believe I read once that Jack and Karen were being considered for their own spin off after W&G ended but when Friends did the same thing with Joey and it totally bombed NBC execs got scared and decided to not proceed.

[@everforward8651]

I think that the characters of Jack and Karen would have needed the characters of Will and Grace as straight people to play off of--in the same way that the character of Ethel served as the straight person for the character of Lucy to play off of. For that reason, I don't think a spinoff would have worked--unless the spinoff's creators came up with new straight people.

[@christeene8082]

Makes sense

[@williethomas9953]

​@everforward8651 Bernadette Peters, who played Karen's sister "Gin" and a new guy to be Jack's biological dad. Then in addition to Jack and Karen, they would caught between Jack's mom and Gin fighting over Jack's dad.

[@olavwilhelm6843]

the show made another season in 2014 but it did not go so well ;-((

[@nuckinfuts7610]

It definitely would've got cancelled. Like Friends, it's a package deal. Even so, I still would've watched the crap out of it while it lasted.

[@josephadiaz8343]

These two did a great job on the song "unforgettable"♥️♥️🙏🏼✝️✌🏼😎

[@teej143]

I love the 4 of them, but indeed, Karen and Jack gave me the biggest and most memorable laughs

[@GypsyRock]

10:09 this is the largest (by far), most ridiculous "hair bun" clip in they ever made her wear 😂😂😂 good lord

[@DesigNatedAudio]

When she gives him the lap dance on the stairs, does everyone else notice the flawless timing of her blazer popping open? LOL !!!!

How do I put this?... It makes life worth it for us... -Observation and appreciation of some of the most brilliant and talented people on earth at that given point, comedic actors such as Sean Hayes, Megan Mullally et. al...

If that's Megan Mullaly's true singing voice, she's very good. And that's coming from a trained singer

[@Clintsessentials]

[@mdvk]

Check out her broadway work. She’s done a lot. Sean Hayes too

[@victoriarebeck8715]

Yes, she is a singer. Musical theatre was where she got her earliest experience.

I wish they can make more of "Jack's" cafe skits 😂

[@michelegovea1637]

[@sandrafunny957]

I put Megan Mullally right up there with Bea Arthur...comedy perfection.

[@ValerieNeely-e7f]

Bea Arthur was about as funny as a car wreck.

[@ValerieNeely-e7f]

@@aquachonk Oh,please excuse me. So sorry you don't find anyone an "intellectual", just because they don't find Bea Arthur funny?? THAT is funny.... But,SHE never was!

[@richardcollins1908]

Meghan the backbone, stole the show. Her timing and off the wall remarks has brought tears of laughter most times and appreciated. Even though she claims," Karen evolved" she was on the mark from the very beginning, while the other cast members enhanced Karen Walkers character. The entire show is timeless.

[@andydv27]

Omg...I miss this show.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@phyllisnunn2061]

This show & Whose Line Is It Anyway? --- the 2 shows guaranteed to make me laugh til I cry! 😂

[@slowpainful]

I knew Sean was a broadway artist, but I was astonished to hear Megan M sing - that duet was perfection and I want more! They have effortless shiny talent, impeccable comic timing and fearlessness, which comedy craves. I never had a problem with Jack's stereotypical gay man, and I can't quite figure out why. Maybe it's because we had for the first time with this show a "yeah he's gay, so what?" type positive portrayal with Will's character. It was very empowering.

[@gordonallen9095]

The show should've been named Jack & Karen. they were the two most interesting and hilarious characters on the show.

[@kellyjacquin715]

I love the " unforgettable" song at yhe end. So talented!

1:37 I’m just now noticing that Grace and Leo’s dining room is almost (if not) identical to Vince’s mom’s dining room from the Thanksgiving episode where we meet Vince’s family.

[@hutch1197]

Jack and Karen were perfect foils for Will & Grace. We needed all 4 characters to make it work. A show with Jack and Karen alone would be funny, but it would make the show too superficial after a while.
