In the Will & Grace episode “One Job,” while Jack (Sean Hayes) deals with his break up with married cop Drew (Ryan Pinkston), Karen (Megan Mullally) has fun with Malcolm Widmark (Alec Baldwin). Meanwhile, Grace (Debra Messing) brings Will (Eric McCormack) to her childhood home to celebrate her late mother’s birthday. (Grace’s mother was famously played by the late Debbie Reynolds.) Grace’s father Martin is portrayed by Robert Klein.
