Will & Grace returns for 2018 with highly anticipated guest star Nick Offerman romancing both Will and Grace. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest episode.

More from NBC

Even though one month break in between the last two episodes of Will & Grace have felt more like an eternity, the gang returns for 2018 with a bang. The revived sitcom has more than stepped up its guest star game in Season 9, and the first show of the new year brings one of the biggest guest stars yet: Parks and Recreation standout and Megan Mullally’s husband Nick Offerman.

Ahead of his upcoming reality competition series with Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman returns to NBC to star alongside his wife in an episode of Will & Grace that’s sure to enter the hall of famed instant classics. Over the course of eight seasons, Will and Grace certainly bumped into common territory while dating. They’d each each meet a guy and hit it off with him, only to be left to wonder which of them he prefers. Well, when Will and Grace discover they are both dating the “Bad Boy of Bread” (Nick Offerman), the best friends attempt to placate their reserves by tricking themselves into thinking they’re cool with it. Famous last words.

Meanwhile, Jack and Karen fall victim to the catchy melody of a commercial jingle, so much so that the duo seeks professional help to rid themselves of the annoying song. So, a normal day for Jack and Karen. Which commercial jingle causes Jack and Karen to undergo medical treatment for a terminal cause of a song stuck in the head? Are Will and Grace actually cool with dating the same man? Most importantly, are they cool with redefining their relationship amid the Bad Boy of Bread’s temptations? Be sure to catch the newest episode to find out and see how the shenanigans between “friends and lover” unfold!

Before the latest episode answers these questions and brings the laughs, watch a hilarious highlight of what the gang was up to last week in the video below!
