"Will & Grace‘s" final season just became a community effort. Joel McHale will appear in two upcoming episodes of the NBC comedy, TVLine has learned exclusively, as a potential suitor for none other than Ms. Karen Walker.

McHale’s character, Phil, is described as “handsome and charming,” qualities he’ll undoubtedly use to sweep Karen off of her feet. But wait, there’s a twist! “Will and Grace are convinced that [Phil] has a darker side and ulterior motives, but Karen is too much in love to see it.”

Ooooo ... he is nice looking!

Joel McHale returns to Will & Grace in a different role after 19 years (https://www.tvinsider.com/912663/joel-mchale-will-and-grace-season-11-phil/)

One of McHale's first acting roles was as Grace's date Ian (https://ew.com/gallery/will-and-grace-guest-stars/?slide=248648#248648) in a 2001 episode of Will & Grace. He returns tonight as Phil, a charming psychopath who has a sexually charged relationship with voracious Karen. "I think I was typecast as Phil," he jokes, "because they were looking for someone who, in every scene, seems like he's going to murder someone."
