televisionIt’s nothing new under the sun, a podcast in which every episode of an old popular TV series is expertly analyzed. But what the actors themselves offer is less common. Eric McCormack (60) and Sean Hayes (52) do just that. The two actors — who play Will Truman and his best friend/annoying neighbor Jack McFarland — are launching their own podcast, “Just Jack & Will.”
The first episode of the original Will & Grace series (Another reboot took place in 2017, ed.). It first aired 25 years ago, but has remained etched in the collective memory as one of the funniest and most innovative sitcoms of its era. The series, which follows the lives of former lovers and best friends Will Truman and Grace Adler — with Karen Walker and Jack McFarland as the zany sidekicks — championed gay characters on television. The series ran for 8 seasons and won countless awards.

The idea for the podcast about “Will & Grace” came about during a friendly lunch. The topic of podcasts came up because Hayes already has the popular “Smartless” podcast with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett. “We wondered what we would talk about if we had to do a podcast together. And yeah, the answer is soon to be the show, of course,” McCormack told People.
The only problem: Sean Hayes doesn’t watch Will & Grace himself, Eric reveals. So he had to start re-watching all the episodes from scratch. “On the podcast we discuss each episode individually and reminisce about the recordings.”
The podcast can be listened to on various streaming platforms from the end of this month.
