Megyn Kelly took over hosting duties on NBC’s Today show on Monday, but her debut on the popular morning show didn’t go off without a hitch — at least in the eyes of one of her guests. The four actors at the core of Will & Grace all appeared on Kelly’s first day to promote their upcoming reboot, and Debra Messing was not happy with some of Kelly’s interactions with a superfan of the sitcom. Messing responded to a fan questioning her appearance on the show on Instagram, “Honestly I didn’t know it was MK until that morning. The itinerary just said Today Show appearance. Regret going on. Dismayed by her comments.â€

What comments troubled Messing? During the segment, Kelly spoke to a fan of the show, who, like the fictional Will, is a gay lawyer. After awarding the viewer free tickets to a live taping of the series out in Los Angeles, the former Fox News host told the fan, “I don’t know about the lawyer thing, but the Will & Grace thing and the gay thing is going to work out.†While some people laughed, Messing could be seen looking displeased in the background.
