THE CAST OF "WILL AND GRACE" IS HERE.

CHARACTERS, NOT YOU, AND I THOUGHT, THEY'RE ALL 11 YEARS
OLDER BUT NONE HAS REALLY MATURED, RIGHT?
>> BASICALLY TRUE. >> DID THE CHEMISTRY JUST COME

I THINK FOR ALL OF US, IT WAS EASY TO KIND OF, AFTER A WHILE,

BEEN GREAT, I STARTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA KIND OF LATE.
I NEVER POSTED ANYTHING ABOUT "WILL AND GRACE" BECAUSE I
THOUGHT, THAT'D BE SORT OF PATHETIC, YOU KNOW.
THAT'D BE SAD. BUT THEN DEBRA AND I WERE
TWEETING BACK AND FORTH, AND WE POSTED SOME PICTURE OF US FROM
THE LAST EPISODE, WHERE WE WERE CRYING.
THE RESPONSE WAS JUST OVERWHELMING.
I THOUGHT, OH, WOW, THAT'S INTERESTING.
SINCE THIS WHOLE THING HAS HAPPENED, TO ME, IT'S QUITE
PASSIONATE, ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE WE'VE GOTTEN FROM --
YOU KNOW, YOU POST A PICTURE AND THE COMMENTS ARE ALL LIKE, YOU
KNOW, OH, WE'RE SO EXCITED. WE CAN'T WAIT.
YOU KNOW, QUIT TEASING US. LET IT START.

SAY, IT WAS PERFECT. >> I WAS.
>> TO GO BACK AND BE TINKERING WITH IT --
>> YEAH. >> I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARED IF
WE HADN'T DONE THE VIDEO IN SEPTEMBER.
>> YOU DID AN AD TOGETHER. >> IT WAS PROOF OF CONCEPT.
WE COULD SEE THE RESPONSE TO IT AND GO, THAT LOOKS LIKE A SHOW.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. WE CAN DO THIS AGAIN.
WE CAN PICK UP 11 YEARS LATER. >> THIS ALL HAPPENS TONIGHT
AFTER MUCH-ANTICIPATION. >> OH, MY GOSH.

THE NEWSPAPER TOMORROW MORNING? >> EVEN FUNNIER.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT IT TO SAY. THEY'RE EVEN FUNNIER.
>> WE'VE GOTTEN A FEW REVIEWS SO FAR, AND WE'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY
SO FAR THAT THEY HAVE SAID THAT. >> WE JUST --

NEEDED TO LAUGH OUT LOUD AGAIN. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
EVERY DAY, YOU KNOW, WE GET TO GO TO WORK AND LAUGH OUT LOUD.

CALL ME. >> WHO DO YOU WANT?
>> BARBRA STREISAND. >> MICHELLE OBAMA.
>> OPRAH. >> SAVANNAH.
