TV.com summary

The Megan Mullally Show was a talk show hosted by Megan Mullally that debuted in syndication on September 18, 2006, and was cancelled in January 2007 due to its low ratings.^[1] Early promotions for the program featured Mullally as herself and as her Will & Grace character, Karen Walker. The talk show also aired nationally on TBS. On January 3, 2007, NBC Universal, the show's production company, announced that production would cease immediately, and the show aired its final episode six days later.

The first episode featured actor Will Ferrell (who came out to the set wearing nothing but his briefs) and Jenny McCarthy.

The syndicated program was produced by NBC Universal and averaged about 2 million viewers in Canada and America combined. (See: Daytime TV ratings.)[1]

It was distributed by NBC Universal Television Distribution.

The show, along with Dr. Keith Ablow and The Greg Behrendt Show, were canceled within the first two months of 2007 for low ratings. These shows were three of the four syndicated talk shows to debut in 2006 (Rachael Ray's self-titled talk show was the other). However, unlike the other two canceled series, The Megan Mullally Show did not finish out the season (both Behrendt and Dr. Keith Ablow aired several weeks of new episodes following their cancellations, and continued in reruns until September 7, 2007).
