TV Guest stars

Originally airing from 1998 to 2006, and now back on our screens since 2017, 'Will & Grace' has had plenty of opportunities to insert celebrity appearances, and boy has the show delivered on the goods. But while big names like Madonna and Britney Spears have actually played fictional characters on the comedy, it's perhaps even more interesting to look at the A-listers who simply showed up as themselves.

The series boasts the likes of Cher, Matthew McConaughey, and Salma Hayek. Interest piqued? Click on to discover more.
