MEGAN MULLALY SHOW PREMIERES MONDAY

Megan Mullaly, the Emmy-winning actress known to audiences across the world as high-pitched alcohol-abusing pill-popping vixen Karen Walker on NBC's hit comedy "Will & Grace" which ended its 8-year run last May, is premiering her own talk show on Monday.

The actress who has already filled in for David Letteman in 2003, inked her deal with NBC Universal last season. Now she is bringing her very own mix of light entertainment - celebrity and civillian interviews, pre-taped comedy sketches and interaction with the studio audience to syndication.

Mullaly promises her show will get naughty and edgy, as that is what people expect from her.The actress, who is an established singer, will occasionally sing with the show's five-piece band.

The guest line-up will include Will Ferrell, Felicity Huffman, Carol Burnett, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will & Grace co-star Debra Messing.

Perhaps even that ole hag Karen Walker stops by.
