Will and Grace Spin Off?

Again from the oh so reliable National Enquirer, they report that former Will & Grace co-stars Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes may star in a spin-off of the hit comedy show. They would reprise their hilarious roles as the duo-act in “Karen & Jack”, which is currently in development at NBC.

Now if because we are talking about the National Enquirer, chances are this is probably not true. But I do hope it is. And the name shouldn’t be “Karen & Jack” in my opinion, although I get where they are going with it.. but the phrase “Just Jack” was such a factor to the original Will & Grace that to me it would just make sense.

Sources say Hayes was into doing a spin-off soon after “Will & Grace” ended in 2006 - but with Matt LeBlanc’s “Friends” follow-up “Joey”, bombing big time, plans were put on hold. Then Megan Mullally landed a talk show - but that flopped big time.

A so-called “insider” tells the tabloid, “They feel there is still a lot of life left in their characters and a lot of comic possibilities.”

If a pilot episode is successful, “Karen & Jack” could be on the air in the next Fall. We shall see.
