Debra Messing's Fart Censored
Dead Frog was at the Tribeca Film Festival's panel on Women in Comedy, and has a recap up. Among the highlights was this bit about Debra Messing:
Besides the much publicized revelation that Debra Messing stood up to network execs for her character on Will & Grace to be small-breasted, she also related as story of a scene where she improvised Grace airing out a fart from her dress. The bit apparently got huge laughs in rehearsal, but sitcom director Jimmy Burrows said it was “too gross.” There was some frustration from Messing in the desire to not keep her character too precious but not being allowed to fart.
Anybody who thinks farts are too gross, regardless of their source-ass, has absolutely no business in comedy. End of discussion.
