Will Truman (Eric McCormack) and Grace Adler (Debra Messing) are best friends and neighbors in this adult comedy about two people who seem perfect for each other but can never actually find romance together because Will is gay and Grace is straight.

Now entering its fourth season, the Emmy Award-winning “Will & Grace” has enjoyed both critical acclaim and ratings success as one of the centerpieces of NBC’s “Must See TV” Thursday lineup. The series recently won three Emmys, including Outstanding Supporting Actress (Megan Mullally), Outstanding Supporting Actor (Sean Hayes) and Outstanding Comedy Series. “Will & Grace” also has been honored with a People’s Choice Award as Favorite New Comedy Series, a Golden Globe nomination for Best Comedy Series, an American Comedy Award nomination for Funniest Television Series, two GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding TV Comedy Series and a Founders Award from the Viewers for Quality Television.

On the show, Will is a successful Manhattan lawyer -- likable, handsome and charming -- who recently ended a long-term relationship. Likewise, Grace is a beautiful, self-employed interior decorator. They both love French films, poker night with the guys and the home version of “The $10,000 Pyramid.” Will and Grace have been friends for a long time, and though they’re both looking for love, they long ago accepted the fact that there will be no romance between them. As a result, they face life’s ups-and-downs together, knowing they will always have each other to lean on.

Grace’s work life is complicated by her unusual assistant, Karen Walker (Megan Mullally), a wealthy socialite who only bothers to show up at work because it keeps her “down to earth” -- and because she likes to tell Grace how to live her life. Will has another good friend in the outrageous Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes), a well-meaning but self-involved young man who comes with a complete matching set of emotional baggage.

Emmy winners David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are executive producers and creators. Multi-Emmy winner James Burrows (NBC’s “Frasier,” “Friends”) is director and executive producer. “Will & Grace” is a production of KoMut Entertainment in association with NBC Studios/Three Sisters Entertainment.
