Set in a New York-style bar, the "Will & Grace After Party" show combines pop-culture maven Kristin Dos Santos with WILL & GRACE superfans for a viewing party, games, trivia and exclusive behind-the-scenes material - not to mention surprise appearances from the show's creative team and special celebrity guests. Over the course of the show's first six episodes, "After Party" will provide an all-encompassing fan-centric journey through current and past episodes of Will & Grace and its influence on pop-culture since its initial debut in 1998. Burning questions will be covered like who had better boyfriends: Will or Grace? What were some of Jack's best and worst side hustles? How does Karen manage to drink so much and stay alive?
