We're back with the hilarious Sean Hayes right here.
Oh, Helen.
Ellen.
Helen, Helen.
Ellen.
I've been calling you Helen this, all these--
by the way.
What?
You've been on the air for 15 years.
On this particular show. yes, yes.
I've also done other things in the past, but yes.
I'm not going to read your resume.
And you've been so kind to have me on as many times.
And you've always been so supportive and such
an inspiration.
Ow, your ring.
All right.
And you've been such an inspiration.
I have another game, Fish for the Ring.
It's already on the bottom of the thing--
but so nice to me and so wonderful this past year.
That's because-- don't choke on the ring.
That's because you're hilarious, and I love you.
And you're talented, and smart, and all the-- oh, no.
I got it.
OK, so, wait, so-- what were you gonna talk about?
Nothing.
I was complimenting you, but you didn't hear it.
No, thank you.
Yes, thank you.
Well, I'd just complimented you.
Right, but I didn't have to compliment you back.
I didn't either.
I could have just taken it.
That's true.
You could have just taken them and like, thank you, Sean.
Yeah, and then nothing.
And then next question.
Yes, which I'll do now.
OK, great.
So Will and--
So seamless, no wonder you've been on for 15 years.
Yeah, people are like, do you see?
Her transitions are seamless.
That was a good segue because I connected it.
I said, that's what I'll do now.
Can't shut it off on Ellen's brain, go, go, go.
OK, go on.
All right.
Will and Grace.
Is the show that I've been on.
That's right.
How long now?
Longer than 15.
No, it was--
How long was it the first time around before you all
got canceled?
I think it was longer than your sitcom.
Yeah, that's right.
I had to come out first for you all to do that sitcom.
Go ahead.
Woo!
[LAUGHS] So funny.
Funny, but it's true.
The battle of the gays up here.
Woo, that is so funny.
All right, so let's talk.
So it's hilarious.
I say--
And you were on it.
Remember that?
Remember?
Yes, I was on it.
So but you've had amazing guest stars this season, right?
Yes, Jennifer Lopez was just on the episode last week.
She was hilarious.
I played a-- it was a show within a show.
She was on a show called Shades of Blue.
And so her character from Shades, Jack
gets a part on that show.
And it was hilarious.
And then she's so sweet to work with.
And then Alec Baldwin is coming on at the end of the season.
And he's also hilarious.
He's-- you'll see.
I can't give anything away, but last couple episodes, yeah.
He's a very funny guy though.
He's so funny and so sweet.
And it really is.
It's a hilarious show, and the writing is better than ever.
Thank you, honey.
It's great.
I'm so glad it's back.
Thank you.
It is called Will and Grace.
It's on Thursdays at 9:00 on NBC.
