AND GRACE. >> YES!
>> OH, YES. WILL, GRACE, KAREN AND A JACK
ARE BACK. AND SO ARE THE LAUGHS.
>> WE'VE BEEN WAITING 11 LONG YEARS SINCE THE ORIGINAL EMMY
WINNING COMEDY SERIES SIGNED OFF THE AIR.
BUT IN THREE DAY, FINALLY THE WAIT WILL BE OVER.
>> AND WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
LOOK AT YOU. >> I WISH I KNEW YOUR NAMES.
>> SO EVERY TIME I TURN ANY STATION ON, ANYTIME OF THE DAY,
YOU ARE PROMOTING THE HECK OUT OF THIS AND YOU DON'T EVEN NEED
TO BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN PICKED UP FOR A SECOND SEASON.
>> WE JUST LIKE TALKING ABOUT IT.
>> YEAH, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE THE SHOWS THAT WE'VE
DONE, LIKE PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING, LIKE THE AUDIENCE IS REALLY
HAVING A GOOD TIME. >> HOW IS THAT BEING BACK IN
FRONT OF A STUDIO AUDIENCE? ARE YOU JUST HAVING A BALL?
>> WE ALL COME FROM A THEATER
BACKGROUND, SO IT'S NICE BECAUSE THE SHOW REALLY IS THE STYLE OF
COMEDY IS CLOSER TO FARCE THAN ANY OTHER COMEDY ON TELEVISION
OUTSIDE OF AN ANIMATED SHOW LIKE BOB'SBURGERS OR THE SIMPSONS.
SO WE LOVE IT, YEAH. >> AND IS IT THE SAME SET?
IT'S HARD TO TELL. ADJUSTED FOR TIME?
>> YEAH, 11 YEARS. >> AND THE HARDEST THING TO
UNDERSTAND IS THAT YOU HAD AN END, YOU HAD A FINALE.
>> YEAH, SO WHAT DO WE MAKE OF THIS.
>> ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FORGET THAT THAT EVER HAPPENS?
>> FORGET IT. >> THE WRITERS DID SUCH A CLEVER
THING WITH THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES THAT YOU WOULD SEE
THURSDAY NIGHT EXPLAINING THAT IN A VERY FUNNY AND IN A WAY
THAT JUST WRAPS IT ALL UP. >> LOOK HOW CUTE.
ARE YOU ALL THIS CLOSE IN REAL WLFR?
>> I'M ABOUT TO CRUMBLE EMOTIONALLY AND IF SHE DOESN'T
HOLD MY MAND -- >> HE'S CRUSHING MY HAND.
>> SOMETIMES 11 YEARS LATER, YOU'VE DONE DIFFERENT THINGS,
WAS THE CHEMISTRY, DID IT COME BACK LIKE --
>> IT NEVER LEFT. EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF
CHEMISTRY, IT'S FOREVER. >> YOU GOT TOGETHER DURING THE
ELECTION AND URGED EVERYBODY TO VOTE.
AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU'D BEEN IN THE SAME ROOM
TOGETHER IN TEN YEARS. SO -- AND THAT'S WHAT GOT THE
MOJO GOING, RIGHT? >> WE WOULDN'T BE HERE IF NOT
FOR THAT. IF THEY HAD JUST COME OUT OF THE
BLUE AND SAID WE WANT TO DO WILL AND GRACE AGAIN, WE ALL WOULD
HAVE BEEN LET'S NOT MESS WITH THAT MAGIC.
BUT BECAUSE WE DID THAT THING AND WE SAW THAT IT WORKED --
>> 7.5 MILLION VIEWS. PEOPLE DO WANT TO HEAR MORE FROM
THIS FOURSOME. >> ARE YOU NERVOUS?
BECAUSE YOU'RE COMING BACK WITH A HIT SHOW.
IS THERE ANY LIKE BUTTERFLIES? >> NO.
>> NO? >> OF COURSE I'M A WRECK.
>> YOU'RE ALWAYS A WRECK. >> I KNOW.
BUT, NO, I GET A LITTLE NERVOUS BEFORE THE FIRST TAKE OF EVERY
SH BECAUSE IT'S A LIVE AUDIENCE.
BUT IT DISSIPATES AFTER THAT. BUT IT'S A GOOD NERVOUS.
IT'S NOT BAD. >> AND YOU WALK DOWN THE STREETS
OF NEW YORK AND EVERY HALF BLOCK SOME GUY IS LIKE HEY, HOW MANY
HAVE YOU SHOT SO FAR?
REALLY? >> YOU GUYS LIKE GREAT.
HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING OUT WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO COME?
EVERYBODY LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE IN SHAPE.
>> NO, BUT NONE OF US WOULD HAVE EVER DREAMED IN A MILLION YEARS
THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE ONCE A SHOW IS OVER,
TRADITIONALLY THAT'S IT FOREVER AND EVER.
SO THE FACT THAT IT CAME BACK TO ME REALLY SEEMS LIKE AN ACTUAL
MIRACLE HAS OCCURRED. >> AND THE TIMING CUTUALLY AS
WELL. YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MINE FIELD
OUT THERE TO EXPLORE. >> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT. >> THAT'S WHY IT FELT
PARTICULARLY TIMELY TO COME BACK BECAUSE OUR SHOW ALWAYS WAS A
SHOW THAT COMMENTED ON POP CULTURE AND POLITICS AND
WHATEVER IS HATCHING TODAY. AND MAKING JOKES ABOUT IT.
AND MOCKING IT. AND NOW THE WORLD IS A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLACE AND WE HAVE A LOT TO DEAL WITH.
>> WELL, WE ARE SO EXCITED. EVERYBODY IS.
>> WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU GOT PICKED UP BEFORE IT EVEN
AIRS? >> A BLESSING.
>> THANK YOU? AND YES.
>> THE KIDS CAN GO TO COLLEGE. THAT IS
