An episode of sitcom Will and Grace has been performed and broadcast live in the US, with no mishaps. The first episode of the eighth and final series of Will and Grace was performed live twice, for viewers in eastern and western America. Apart from an attack of the giggles by stars Debra Messing, who plays Grace, and Sean Hayes, who plays Jack, the live show went ahead with no problems. Episodes of US hospital drama ER and UK soap The Bill have been broadcast live. Cameo role Actor Hayes spent most of the episode wearing an eye patch, following a mishap on the set of the actor's new US talk show. "I tripped making my entrance, knocked over the light and caught the set on fire," Hayes said. In 2003 actress Messing picked up an Emmy award for her role as uptight interior designer Grace, best friend of gay lawyer Will. The NBC series began in 1998 and is broadcast in the UK on Living TV and Channel 4. Story from BBC NEWS: |

| They could "perform" it live, naked, on top of a mountain whilst juggling fire and running on broken glass, it wouldn't change the fact that it's sh*t |
