Will and Grace are back and they're voting for Hillary Clinton
It's been 10 years since the final episode of Will & Grace aired, but everyone's favorite BFFs have reunited — and they're with her.
In a nearly 10-minute video released Monday, Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes reprised their roles as the 2016 versions of Will, Grace, Karen, and Jack. Will and Grace, unsurprisingly, are Hillary Clinton supporters (as is Messing in real life), while Karen is firmly ensconced aboard the Trump Train, even having sent her maid Rosario to Trump University (where she studied dusting). Jack, meanwhile, is an angry, unemployed white man who happens to be registered to vote in Pennsylvania, making him the one to court this election.
After running through the many reasons why he should vote for Clinton, Grace finally convinced him by dangling a pop star supporter in front of his face (and no, it's not Cher). It's the same Will & Grace as before, with off color jokes (and some NSFW language), but the underlying message is serious: Get out and vote. Watch the reunion below. Catherine Garcia
