Just Jack & Will with Sean Hayes and Eric McCormack Wondery

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.

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.

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.

Welcome Back Home to Just Jack & Will, as Sean & Eric try to convert you into a fan of episode 220. They discuss the strange story of babies in the year 2000 named IUMA, the total commitment of guest star Molly Shannon, and learn the present day location of this episode’s music box. Then, they welcome all-around entertainer par excellence Neil Patrick Harris, to talk about what it was like playing Bill twenty-four years ago, and how worried he was that he wasn’t supposed to be there. Gosh and begorrah, gosh and begorrah…

Welcome to Will & Grace: After Dark, as Sean & Eric review the only W&G episode ever to be rated TV-14! They discuss how funny Rob and Ellen are in this one, the sole appearance of Will’s service stairwell, and are compelled to note the abundance of breast-based comedy. Then, they welcome the co-writer of this episode, and Nurse Sheila herself, the fabulously funny Laura Kightlinger, to ask her just where this raunchy storyline came from. Much like the Apple Brown Betty that ended the Battle Of Guadalcanal.
