Megan Mullally Leaves Squeaky Voice Behind...

Whenever I hear the talented Megan Mullally speak in her real voice, it makes me wish she really talked just like her delicious comic creation, "Karen Walker," on "Will & Grace," who was far more squeaky vocally. But hey, time marches on and Mullally, fresh off her second Emmy win, has entered the world of daytime television with her new talker-variety series "The Megan Mullally Show."Karen7.jpg
The seed for her to join the world of Ellen and Oprah came a few years back when she subbed for David Letterman. "I doubt people could take five hours a week of Karen's voice - maybe I'm wrong but - but I think I may be doing a public service by not doing Karen's voice," Mullally told OK Magazine this week.
But she does miss doing "Will & Grace" which ended its eight-year run last spring. "I'm not a very weepy person but I was bursting into tears at the weirdest times because if the whole 'Will & Grace' grieving process. A lot olf us were. It's just a testament to what a great time we had."

So what about a reunion show down the road?

"I'd be fun," she told OK. "I think there would be a chance to do something like that. Unfortunately, I will age in real life whereas Karen is not supposed to age. So, we'd have to employ some kind of prosthetics!

Good luck with the show Megan! I just hope you'll do the Karen voice every once in awhile, especially if a star comes out in a bizarre outfit or something: "What's that? What's going on here honey?"
