In anticipation of the Will & Grace encore, Will, Grace, Jack and Karen reunited for the show’s first official trailer.

You know you got the job, right? You left all your lipstick on this a—,” she scolds.
Will & Grace premiered on NBC in 1998 and ended in 2006 after 200 episodes and countless dirty martinis. The show’s pioneering efforts paved the way for LGBTQ representation in mainstream television, and brought queerness to the masses.
Will & Grace will air Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT this fall, so don’t forget to tune in, honey.
