Host embraces new stage Former 'Will & Grace' star launches talk show Monday
BY FRAZIER MOORE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Megan Mullally, long an audience fave on "Will & Grace," had already moonlightened once or twice as a guest host on other talk shows. But subbing for a laid-up Dave in March 2003 — and feeling comfortable, relaxed and in her element — Mullaly had a revelation, right there on "Late Show."
NEW YORK — She got the itch at David Letterman's desk.
"It had never occurred to me that hosting a talk show was a job that you could actually have," she says, chuckling that such a truth could somehow have eluded her. "It had seemed like a very far-fetched profession. Like being an astronaut."
But the show will be more than star chat. Mullally also promises comedy and music. And, as a singer who starred on Broadway in the musicals "Grease" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and who fronts her own band, Supreme Music Program, she will occasionally favor viewers with a song.
Now she's about to blast off with her own weekday talk-variety hour, "The Megan Mullaly Show," premiering Monday at 10 a.m. on KMBC Channel 9. Her first guest: Will Ferrell, which is not a bad get.
"We're gonna get away from the celebrity culture a little bit," she adds, explaining that regular folks will be an important part of the guest mix. "We want to remind people that everybody's special and has a story to tell."
Launching in tandem with the show will be a Web site where viewers are invited to upload short films and other self-expression that could possibly appear on the air.
Monday will mark the end of a lengthy process for Mullally that began with pondering what to do with her life once "Will & Grace" (and her dream collaboration with co-stars Eric McCormack, Debra
"We want to encourage people to explore their creativity," she says.
Messing and Sean Hayes) had run its course.
A spin-off sitcom for her character — the riotously fabu Karen Walker — was explored.
"But doing 'Will & Grace' for all that time was so satisfying, I don't have that much to prove to myself in that regard anymore," she says. Besides, she had the talk-show itch.
Then NBC Universal got it, too,
signing Mullally for a seamless
transition from the eighth and final
"Will & Grace" season to her new L.A.-based venture.
"January to April, I was going through the whole process of ending 'Will & Grace' and grieving that, while working full, full, time on this talk show," she says
Easier said than done. It entailed getting one thing up and running while she weathered emotionally wrenching months to bring the other to a close.
— "which did offer solace ... sense that I knew what I was gonna be doing now, and that I had a purpose."
Her immediate purpose: Weighing in on countless decisions, from the concept of the new show to the look of the set down to the logo's design ("You have to see it on the side of the building and on every piece of paper for who knows-how-long!").
Being boss is a departure for Mullally, who notes, "I never even had an office before. And I'm 47!"
But the only decision she acknowledges losing was what the show would be called. She can't say exactly what she might have preferred, but having her own name claimed for the title unnerved her at first.
"People answer our phones with my name! It took me a while to disassociate myself from it, to tell myself they were saying something like 'Heinz Ketchup' instead. Otherwise," she laughs warily, "it's just too weird."
If Mullally seems to have a streak of becoming modesty, maybe she does. Raised in Oklahoma City
and reaching Los Angeles via the Chicago theater scene, she seems pleasantly untouched by Hollywood hauteur. She radiates a serene but amused take on the world around her.
And for this recent interview she is turned out smart but casual in jeans and a fuchsia silk jacket, a reflection of the personal style she describes as "very average-loe."
Unlike, say, the character with whom she became so identified (winning a second Emmy only last month for her portraval).
It's a character that clearly connected with viewers.
"I loved playing Karen," Mullally declares in a voice that seems several octaves below Karen's helium squeak, "and I definitely would have done 'Will & Grace' for like 40 more seasons."
"I've had so many people come up to me over the years and say, 'Honey, you're so real!' And I think: How do you get 'real' from Karen Walker, a super-wealthy, alcoholic, pill-popping, inappropriate beeatch?"
But behind Mullally's outrageous performance, viewers could detect something authentic: The actress herself, savoring Karen right along with them.
Now Mullally is about to let the audience meet her with no one in between.
It starts even before she goes on camera.
She likens the sensation of appearing as herself to an out-of-body experience where she can keep tabs on herself to keep it real.
"I lock myself in my dressing room and just look at my knee, or a spot on the wall," she confides. "You have to get out of everything for a minute, and just be an organism functioning on the globe. Otherwise, you're this entertainment robot in a dog-and-pony show and you don't have anything to offer of yourself."
That's not the itch she's looking to scratch.

High-profile marriage ends Houston and Brown to separate after 14 years together
BY JOHN ROGERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The tumultuous marriage of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown — which withstood drug addiction, Brown's numerous arrests, the decline of Houston's once-sparkling image and domestic abuse allegations — is coming to an end.
The Grammy-winning, superstar singer file, papers in Orange County Superior Court on Friday requesting a legal separation from her husband of 14 years. The reason given was irreconcilable differences.
"It is a legal separation. It is not a divorce or a divorce petition." Phaedra Parks, an entertainment lawyer in Atlanta who represents Brown, told The Associated Press.
Houston's publicist, Nancy Seltzer, said the singer would have no comment on the action.
Asked about speaking with Brown, Parks said, "Bobby's not speaking with anyone at this time."
Houston and Brown, who had a home in Alpharetta, Ga., have one child, a 13-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
According to the court documents, mother and daughter now reside in Laguna Hills, Calif.
Houston asked that she be granted custody of the girl and that Brown be allowed visitation rights. She asked that property rights be determined later.
When the couple wed in 1992 the union seemed to outsiders to be a mismatch. Houston — one of the best-selling singers in history — was a glamorous, pop superstar with a super-clean, princess-like persona, whereas Brown, who rose to fame as a member of the boy band New Edition before striking out on his own, was a sometimes coarse R&B singer with a more street-wise image.
But as the years wore on, it would become hard to determine
Together, the two were a tabloid editor's dream. When Brown was released from a stretch in jail a few years ago, an ecstatic Houston greeted him by jumping into his arms and throwing her arms and legs around him before a throng of fans and media.
And in a 2002 ABC interview with Diane Sawyer, an erratic-sounding and wan-looking Houston, with a profusely sweating
which one was more troubled. Brown — best known for hits like "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step" — would be arrested numerous times for drugs and alcohol, and once for hitting his wife, while Houston's own battles with substance abuse suicided her image.
Brown by her side, admitted dabbling in drugs but denied using crack, then uttered the now famous phrase: "Crack is wack."
Houston checked into a drug rehabilitation program in 2004 and again

in 2005, announcing the second time that she was also using prayer to help overcome her drug problems. Brown said at the time he was doing what he could to help her.
When the couple wed in 1992, the union seemed to outsiders to be a mismatch. But as the years wore on, it would become hard to determine which one was more troubled.
But earlier this year, the speculation of a possible split intensified. Brown's sister made headlines when she alleged in a National Enquirer interview that Houston was addicted to crack. She also supplied photos of what she said was Houston's bathroom, littered with garbage and evidence of drug use.
Houston, 43.
"It takes two to make things work, so I have to be there for her just like she was there for me when I went through my rehab stint," he told "Access Hollywood."
The couple did separate for a time a few years ago, but their marriage endured, despite rumors and speculation. Their life was put on display last year with Brown's reality series, "Being Bobby Brown" on Bravo. The show actually made Brown look like a stable influence, while a jittery Houston was on display; the couple often crudely talked about their marriage and
Recently, Houston has made attempts to clean up her public image. On Tuesday night, she attended a public event with cousin Dionne Warwick and mogul and mentor Clive Davis in Beverly Hills. And she is working on an album of new material; she hasn't released a record since 2002.
won multiple Grammys in the 1980s and 1990s, including two for the megahit "I Will Always Love You," from the 1992 film The Bodyguard, in which she also starred opposite Kevin Costner.
"I Will
Always Love You," won Grammys for record of the year and best female pop vocal, and The Bodyguard soundtrack won album of the year.
Houston also won Grammys in 1985 and 1987 for best female pop vocal for "Saving All my Love for You" and ("I Want to Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)." She won a Grammy for best female R&B vocal in 1999 for "It's Not Right But It's Okay."
Her musician husband recently reunited with New Edition for a show at July's Essence Musical Festival. The show got mixed reviews from the audience when Brown jumped suggestively around the stage and made vulgar remarks about his sex life with Houston.
