15 best Will & Grace episodes to watch while waiting for the new season

Buy, Buy Baby (Season 8, Episode 18)

Jack has gone through a lot of different careers over the course of Will & Grace. He was an aspiring actor, star of his own one man show Just Jack, an acting teacher, a nurse, and of course, possibly one of the more successful career moves was when he started hosting his own talk show, Jack Talk on OutTv.

Jack thinks it’s going well with his new show, but when a large corporation takes over the network, they want to make a few changes to Jack Talk. The first order of business is getting Jack a new co-host, who ends up being a conservative southern woman named Amber-Louise from Alabama (played by Britney Spears).

The changes keep on coming. The conservative new owners want to change Jack Talk’s queer identity, by hiding the fact that guests like George Takei are gay (and pulling him from the episode without telling Jack), and also by covering up the pride flag with an American flag. Amber-Louise also tries to take over the show with her own segment, “Amber-Louise’s musings!” The first topic of her segment is “if you question our president, then you’re a dirty traitor!”

Amber-Louise, however, is not what she seems. When Jack is freaking out about the new changes, she tells him he needs to compromise like she did in order to succeed, and lets him in on a secret. Her real name is Peg, and she’s a hardcore lesbian. And she tells Jack she’s into, “leather play, butch black girls, skunking, pulling the blinds, and poodle balling. Whatever you got, I’ll eat it, snort, or ride it baby.”

Britney is surprisingly hilarious in the episode, especially in a role most people wouldn’t expect from the pop princess. And seeing Jack having a meltdown is always good fun.
