Megan Mullally mini-bio: Megan Mullally is a three-time SAG and two-time Emmy Award-winning American actress, talk show host and comedian.
She moved to Los Angeles in 1981 and after just two weeks signed with the William Morris Agency. She began appearing in bit parts in films and television. She made her series debut in The Ellen Burstyn Show and guest starred in popular sitcoms such as Seinfeld, Frasier, Wings, Ned and Stacey (which starred future Will & Grace co-star Debra Messing), and Mad About You.
She made her Broadway debut in 1994 in a revival of Grease in the role of Marty, with Rosie O'Donnell and later appeared in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with Matthew Broderick. She is heard in the cast albums of both productions.
In 1998, she landed the role of Karen Walker in the NBC sitcom Will & Grace. She won Emmy Awards in 2000 and 2006 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (and was also nominated in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005), and she has also won three Screen Actors Guild Awards. Although she did not win the Emmy in 2005, she did, based on votes from viewers, win the "Emmy Idol" award for singing the Green Acres theme song, in character as Karen, alongside Donald Trump.
Will & Grace ended in May 2006. Mullally is currently hosting her own talk show, The Megan Mullally Show, which debuted in September 2006.
Her feature film debut was as a call girl in Risky Business and has parts in Stealing Harvard and the Martin Lawrence comedy Rebound.
She also is a voice actress who has done work on several cartoons, such as the 1990s version The Flintstones, Batman: The Animated Series, King of the Hill and the Disney feature film Teacher's Pet.
Mullally is also a singer and performs in her own group called The Supreme Music Program. She also recorded a duet with Carly Simon, on the track The Right Thing To Do, from the Will & Grace: Let the Music Out! soundtrack.
