The flowers that they gave me originally
looked like I was going to propose marriage to you.
We had to trim them down.
Oh, wow.
They were better than this?
They look like Miss America flowers.
Well, I hope Michael Vartan brings me a vase.
[LAUGHS] Props.
I could just--
I'm sure they'll be OK for a little while.
I think they'll be fine.
Thank you.
That's beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Well, you're welcome.
They're gorgeous.
Happy new show.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for being here.
You're on a show called Will and Grace.
What's that about?
Yeah.
It's about four happy-go-lucky, nutty kooks.
You're so-- all of you, but you are so brilliant on the show.
And I think it's surprising if you
haven't heard Megan talk before to not hear that voice, honey.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
I do a good impression of you.
I never hear a good one, and that was pretty good.
Well, honey.
Because you tell funny stories about the--
you only come out with that voice
really when a rug is too expensive, really.
Sometimes when I'm imitating my mom it comes out.
I don't know what that means.
I have people come up to me a lot
that say, oh, people at work tell me
I'm just like your character on the show.
And I'm like, that's probably not a plus.
You may not want to spread that around.
They're proud of that?
Yeah, they're proud and happy.
That doesn't seem like a badge of honor to me.
No.
But it's a fun thing to play for you.
I don't know how you don't crack up all the time.
We do laugh a lot.
We have to stop a lot during--
God, I sure would like a cigarette right now.
Oh, great.
That's nice.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Isn't it?
It's convenient that you have it right there.
And it tastes so much better when it comes out that way.
Yeah.
It really does.
Yeah.
It's classy all the way around.
Yeah.
Mmm.
It's nice.
That'll be a nice clip to show that you're on the show,
that you do that.
They can use that for NBC.
No, you don't do that because you're a healthy gal,
aren't you?
Yeah.
You look great, by the way.
You look really, really good.
Thank you.
Oh.
You do.
That's nice.
Well, I went on that Atkins diet.
Well, it's not really--
I didn't read the book or anything.
I just started eating only protein for the whole summer.
But literally, I didn't know anything
except not to eat any carbohydrates.
So I literally ate sausage and cheese for the entire summer,
and I lost like 10 pounds.
I mean, it's weird.
On the sausage and cheese diet?
Sausage and cheese.
And then at one point I went to a certain grocery store,
and I found sausage that had actually
been stuffed with cheese.
Oh.
So I thought, wow.
I mean, it's like all in one.
It was perfect.
It was disgusting.
But it was a good idea.
Of course it was.
Did you really think that would be tasty?
I didn't-- I was hoping against hope.
You can't blame me for that.
That is the most unhealthy diet I have ever
heard of in my life.
I know, except I feel really good,
and I lost a bunch of weight.
Well, you look great.
Well, thanks.
You look good too.
Thank you.
It's the Cheetos diet.
[LAUGHS]
I think if you only eat one thing,
you're going to lose weight.
That's the thing.
There's all these diets, like the soup diet
or the grapefruit diet.
If you ever just want to lose weight,
just eat like almond bars or something like that.
I know.
And I don't usually think about that
because I don't need to be real skinny or anything,
but I got sick of--
I was getting a little too portly.
And I got tired of trying to find clothes that
weren't just driving me crazy.
You were getting portly?
Mm.
There's a little Fred Flintstone factor that creeps in.
Really?
Yeah, a little bit.
That's this town.
I really-- I am going to-- that's
one thing-- another thing, I'm going to bring glamour back
to daytime television.
And I'm going to get rid of this weight-obsessed society
that we have.
It's true.
It is.
I think that's so great because I'm considered
a huge heifer for an actress.
No, I am.
And I'm a size--
I've never been bigger than a size 8.
And that's not big.
And I'm considered like a huge fatty.
So that's our society.
It's true.
I mean, I've called you fatty many times.
I know.
Yeah.
No, I feel the same way.
It's like this town is obsessed with being rail thin.
And I refuse to go along with it.
I'll eat what I want, damn it.
Can I say that?
Yeah.
I believe-- it's daytime.
We're going to take a question from Art if he has one,
and then we're going to go to commercial and come back.
But have you thought of a question?
Yeah, I've got a question.
Yeah.
Oh, good.
Hi, Megan.
Hi, Art.
We were all wondering, do you have a pet peeve?
Ooh.
Ouch.
I don't know that I do.
Can you ask me another question?
OK.
I got one more.
It's not as easy as it looks, is it, Art?
Are you attracted to men in red capes?
That's why I couldn't think of my pet peeve,
because I'm so distracted.
I'm sorry.
I mean, the truth comes out.
Good answer.
Is this the missus?
No, it's not.
I thought it was too.
Excellent.
We'll be back.
We're back with Megan Mullally and--
"Mehlally," "Muhlolly," milady, what is it?
Mullally, rhymes with Sally.
That's how I remember it.
But do people call you "Muhlully?"
I couldn't pronounce my own name till I was like 11.
So I don't really care how people say it.
I'm surprised people learned mine too.
Yeah, yours is crazy.
We're two rebels.
Do you use your name on this?
I don't understand eBay.
I know what eBay is.
Do you use your name on eBay when you do that?
We just got a computer.
And the first day we had it, my fiancé
was on the computer for like 10 minutes.
And I walked in, and I was like, are you
going to turn into one of those weird computer nerds?
And he was like, no.
Now I'm on it like 100 hours a day.
I mean, I'm obsessed with it.
And I found eBay.
And I first started collecting because we want to have kids.
And so I started collecting first editions
of great literature.
And now I've somehow wound my way down--
and I can't believe I'm saying this on national television--
to comic books.
I am a nerdy comic book collector!
It is unbelievable.
But I have to tell you the funniest part.
You get on eBay, and when you buy something,
then when you receive it you're supposed
to leave feedback for the seller to say whether they are good
or not.
And then what I didn't know is they leave feedback for you.
And when I first saw my feedback--
I thought I was doing fairly well in my television career.
Apparently, nothing compared to my eBay buying
prowess because I got a little misty.
I mean, these are so superlative.
I don't even know what this means.
So the person you buy from gives you a review?
Yeah.
Great buyer in all ways.
Hope to meet again.
Many thanks.
Do you meet these people?
No.
The finest eBay has to offer, A++.
One of the nicest eBayers you'll trade with.
Thank you.
AAAAAAAA++++.
[LAUGHS] Isn't it insanity?
I was so thrilled.
They're eloquent, these people.
I know.
But no, have you ever gotten a review like that?
I mean, that's just really-- that's top drawer.
That is.
I'm going to start buying stuff just for these reviews.
I said, my God, I am somebody.
It just takes buying comic books to find that out.
