Debra Messing's Monologue
written by: Mark Jennings Reese II & J.P. Ragan


.....Debra Messing
.....Lorne Michaels
.....Amy Poehler


Don Pardo: Ladies and gentlemen, Debra Messing!

(Enter Debra Messing)

Debra Messing: Thank you, it’s great to be here! New York City! Wow! It’s been a dream of mine to host this show and now, I’m here! Okay, so I guess most of you know me from my role as Grace on NBC's “Will & Grace”.

(Audience applause)

Thank you. The show is about Grace, me, a straight woman who lives with a gay guy, Will played by Eric McCormack. Now from his appearance on SNL last season you all know that Eric McCormack is not gay. I know! Isn't that weird? Yeah, well what's weirder is that...I am! Yep, I am a huge lesbian! HUGE! I've just never told anybody before. It's especially great being a lesbian and hosting Saturday Night You...I have to be honest...I have taken a liking for the ladies here at the show. Tina fey is a fox and Maya is so hot I became overheated’ yesterday when she was reading over her lines for one of the sketches we are in, later in the show. And there's...oh I'm sorry I'm probably boring you with my lesbianism...if you'll excuse me there's something I have to do...

(Debra leaves home base, and runs to the hallways of Studio 8H)

(Debra searches for a dressing room, finds Amy Poehler’s dressing room; enters the room, closes the door)

(SUPER: Time Elapse --- 2 minutes)

(Lorne Michaels enters the scene and knocks on the door)

(Debra opens the door with Amy’s underwear around her neck)

Debra Messing: What Lorne! What do you want?

Lorne Michaels: Debra, I’m sorry, but we have a strict policy here at the show, and that policy is “No Sex During the Show”.

(Debra goes back into Amy’s dressing room to find her shirt)

Lorne Michaels: I also need you to go finish the monologue. We have to move on with the show.

(Debra reappears at the doorway, looks annoyed, adjusts her top and walks back to the studio)

(Amy Poehler lies on her couch with sense of confusion on her face)

Amy Poehler: Lorne, what the hell was that?

(Lorne Michaels stands at the doorway)

Lorne Michaels: Amy, that’s what we in the business like to call, (clears his throat) a rug munching Hollywood actress! I’m sorry for not warning you!

Amy Poehler: Crazy Hollywood Actresses!

Lorne Michaels: It’s truly sad.

Amy Poehler: Crazy, crazy rug munching Hollywood actress!

(Cut back to Debra Messing returning to home base)

Debra Messing: Sorry about that. Sometimes, I feel the need to wear comfortable shoes! Okay, we have a great show for you tonight! Rage Against the Soundgarden (pauses) I mean, Audioslave is back again, to play “Like A Stone”, again! So that’s cool. Okay, we will be right back!

(Fade out)
