Will & Gracestar Debra Messing says she regrets appearing on Mondays episode of theTODAYshow with host Megyn Kelly.

Is it true that you became a lawyer and you became gay because of Will?

She later added, I think theWill & Gracething and the gay thing is going to work out great!

The attempts at humor were quickly denounced on social media.

It was surprising and incredibly gratifying, co-creator David Kohan said in response to Kelly on Monday.

We never set out there was nothing we were not an ideological thing.

We were not set out to posit ideas into the zeitgeist.

We were trying to do a show with four characters and trying to be funny.

It was very satisfying.

It gave a sense of something else was accomplished here.
