Megan Mullally Says That 2016 Karen Walker Would Be Married To Donald Trump

 
By now, we hope hope hope you’ve seen the already-iconic ‘Will & Grace’ reunion special – if you haven’t, my god, what are you even doing here? WATCH IT IMMEDIATELY. 
If you have seen it, you’re probably curious as to how the special came to be. Why now? Why after 10 whole Will-less, Grace-less years?
Well the answer my friends, is: Donald Trump. No lie, the reunion was in the name of Donald Trump
The ever-illustrious Megan Mullally did an interview with People, and said that it was actually co-creator Max Mutchnick who pitched the topically-current reunion idea: Karen preparing her maid Rosario for when Trump would eventually kick her out of the country. (This is despite the fact that Rosario is actually from El Salvador, not Mexico. Not that Karen knows that.)
“[Mutchnick] had this idea of Karen having a wall installed in her house to make [her maid] Rosario practice climbing so that when Trump builds the wall, she can get back over it to get to work again. 

It’s so funny because, during the last year or so when I’ve been asked in interviews, “What do you think Karen would be doing now?” 

I’ve always said I think she’d be married to Donald Trump.”
Mullally said that everyone from the OG ‘Will & Grace’ days was on board immediately. Like, not just the cast. Actually everyone:

“Everybody immediately said that they would do it – I mean everybody: not just the cast but [director] Jim Burrows and all of our department heads, our costume designer, our set designer, everybody, even our line producer and our supervisor – they were all on board.”
Awwwwwwww. 
People also asked Mullally what it was like being back in Karen Walker‘s shoes. Her answer makes us want to violently sob until the cast agrees to bring ‘Will & Grace’ for good:

“First of all, I wasn’t wearing a bra. 

And second of all, the whole thing felt like we’d just gone on hiatus for a week and we’d just come back. It was just like no time had passed. It was so effortless and fun. 

We just snapped right back into it, and we were just laughing and having a blast.”
Awwwwwwww. 
Megan even tweeted her now-husband, Nick Offerman, after the reunion aired to show him more photos of her/Karen‘s excellent rack. He was very appreciative:

So, as a reward for reading this very emotional and draining piece, here is an even more emotional and draining behind-the-scenes video for the reunion special:
