This week on Just Jack & Will, Sean and Eric review an episode about Jack’s magic fingers and Grace’s magic tears. They talk about Eric’s accents, Sean’s physical business, and are compelled to look up “dolphin shorts and slouch socks.” Then, they welcome Bob Greenblatt, the chairman of NBCUniversal at the time of the Will & Grace reboot, to discuss his fandom of the original show, the changing landscape of gay representation on TV throughout the 90s, and we learn the origin of the reboot’s original secret title: “Hot Food!” Time to take off your exposed nerve hat and put on your business bonnet.

When Frank Farian first laid eyes on Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, he saw everything he wasn’t. They were handsome, young, and Black. But Frank had something they didn’t. He had power.

So, Frank offered them a devil’s bargain. Almost overnight, Milli Vanilli’s debut album went five times platinum and scored a Grammy nomination. But when the lie at the center of their success started to unravel, Rob and Fab would discover the hard way the difference between star power and real power.

From Wondery, Blame It on the Fame is a story about the lie that shot to #1 and what it cost to tell the truth. Hosted by Amanda Seales.

Every summer for the past seven decades, 50 high school seniors—one from every state—descend on Mobile, Alabama to take part in one of the country’s most lucrative scholarship competitions for teen girls. 




The Competition takes you behind the scenes of the Distinguished Young Women (DYW) program, and follows seven girls as they experience the highs and lows of competing for two weeks, away from home and under the most high-stress circumstances. Some girls enter for the money, some for prestige. All of them are used to being the best and the brightest. But only one will walk away with the top prize.




Host Shima Oliaee (Dolly Parton’s America, Pink Card) was Nevada’s contestant in 2001. More than 20 years later, she returns to Alabama as a judge. What can two weeks with 50 of the country’s most ambitious teens tell us about girlhood in America?

(Screaming like a howler monkey) OH MY GOD! IT’S THE SEASON 2 FINALE OF WILL & GRACE! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! Sean & Eric actually can’t believe they’ve reached the end of the season, and they also can’t believe how much was cut for syndication from the original one-hour version. They talk about powder blue Shetland ponies, The Odd Couple, the magic of Gregory Hines’ monologue, and wonder if this episode painted the show into enough of a corner. Then, they welcome their pal Jim Colucci, Will & Grace expert and author of Will & Grace: Fabulously Uncensored, to talk about the end of Season 2 and to quiz them on what they remember! That’s a filthy note. But also tender and gentle in spots.

223 and 224 - Ben? Her? (w/ Jim Colucci)

Please take a seat for this week’s Just Jack & Will, as Sean & Eric get to the bottom of episode 222, “My Best Friend’s Tush.” They talk about the Subway Tush song, Butfford the spokes-puppet, Joan Collins going ham on a taco, and how many takes, ironically, it took Sean to remember the line “you do the talking.” Then, they welcome Rob of Rob & Ellen fame, the hilarious Tom Gallop, to discuss his new chocolate business, his new chocolate podcast, and of course some very funny stories about Will & Grace. That’s not the way legal would put it, but yes.

222 - My Best Friend’s Tush (w/ Tom Gallop)

This week on Just Jack & Will, it’s all burning salads and half-hearted apologies as Sean & Eric review episode 221. They discuss the fantastic guest turns by Orson Bean and Piper Laurie, the epic story of the Future Jack that never was, and just how special it was being in the room when Gregory Hines was in full flight. Then, they welcome a key member of the Will & Grace crew from the pilot to the finale of the reboot, the fabulous Amy Crofoot, who was Deb Messing’s stand-in, but also played numerous parts and handled lots of other backstage jobs throughout the show. Darling, when the moonlight hits you like that, I can just make out the venom glistening on your front fangs.
