Barbara Walters: Please welcome back to The View, Megan Mullally! (Megan walks out and sits between Joy and Star)
Star Jones: Your hair is amazing!
Megan Mullally: Well guess who cut it? Cut it myself. I cut my own hair.
Meredith Vieria: Thats great!
Megan: Yeah at like 2 o'clock in the morning. Just with the scissors, in the bathroom.
Meredith: How do you get the back?
Megan: Mirrors.
Joy Behar: Why are you doing that? Ritualism? What?
Megan: (laughs) But it looks good, doesnt it? (smiles)
Meredith: It looks really good.
Barbara: Later on in the program we were talking about Tony Soprano, and we have Andrea Borchelli, yeah. (audience claps) If he sang to me, I could do it with anyone, BUT, I didnt say that. So you wanna weigh in on Tony Soprano?
Joy: What do you think?
Megan: Sexy. Somebody said that if he was like a mechanic it might work, the confidence.
Lisa Ling: The power.
Megan: Yeah, the power.
Barbara: Well you just got engaged. To your long time boyfriend. (audience claps)
Megan: Yes I did.
Barbara: So how did he propose to you after two years?
Megan: Well it was very romantic, we had kinda a running joke. (shows Joy her engagment ring) He designed the ring himself and I love it. We had a running joke, uh, I had told him when we first started going out that I didnt wanna get married. And so we, everytime I would start talking about that he would pretend he was reaching in his pocket and pull out a engagment ring and propose. So we had this long running thing, and then he kinda stopped doing it for a long time and I thought oh he just got tired of the gag but it was because he was really going to propose and he didnt want me to think it was a joke. So he uh, we were in London, he had made, hes a carpenter, hes an actor and a carpenter, he made this beautiful box and it had the ring in it. It was beautiful.
Barbara: So now you do want to get married?
Megan: Yeah I do now. (laughs)
Barbara: You changed your mind?
Megan: Yeah.
Lisa: Wait, what made you change your mind?
Joy: Any particular reason? Just like that.
Megan: Yeah, just cause hes a really good guy.
Barbara: Thats not why you cut your hair?
Megan: (laughs) No.
Lisa: Okay Megan, lets talk about The Pact. Which is based on a book that I absolutely loved. Its a big departure from Will & Grace that you are so funny on. But uh, you play a mother whos daughter commited suicide but its not really about suicide is about the relationship between these two mothers, tell us a little bit about it.
Megan: Well its this wonderful actress Juliet Stevenson that I play opposite, she is so amazing--
Joy: British actress?
Megan: British actress. Truely Madly Deeply, if you'v ever seen that movie, its amazing. We had been best friends for 20 years but we had a very unbalanced relationship, and uh, I sorta notice this when all this tragedy accures. Its also the affect on the families as a whole.
Meredith: Its very intense.
Megan: Yeah, its kinda hard to talk about something like that without it sounding kinda schmaltzy but its actually, its good. Its subtle.
Joy: It doesnt sound schmaltzy.
Megan: Its really not, its pretty subtle as those things go.
Meredith: You are such a wonderful actress and you can play such a range of roles, and yet I read that you've never taken an acting lesson in your life.
Megan: I tried to take acting my fall quarter in college, but Im from Oklahoma and they dont really have acting there apparently. (everyone laughs) So um, it wasnt allowed. I went to this thing, people were rolling around on the ground and I was mortified! I mean I just didnt know what was happening, I was really inhibited and shy. They were telling us to pretend to be like uh, you know, a fruit or something, Im like I dont wanna do that. I just think thats dumb. So I got scared and never took any classes.
Meredith: That didnt hurt you, for sure.
Star: Well it is so interesting, and I dont think alot of your fans know, in edition to being a phenomenal comedic actress and now a dramatic actress, musical comedy, I had no idea you had such a great singing voice! Man, you go girl! Did you guys know that? Shes got a great singing voice, and a CD! A new CD. Its called Big As A Berry, cute. So tell us about the CD.
Megan: Well uh, I have a band called Supreme Music Program and this record is called Big As A Berry, this is actually our second but its the only one you can get on a label. And uh, its a really eclectic mix, we just do all covers, and its very, you know theres a little something for everybody.
Star: I mean does it make you...
Megan: This record is probably a better reflection of who I am than Will & Grace or The Pact because its closer to me.
Joy: And apparently singing was allowed in Oklahoma.
Megan: (laughs) Yes they allowed singing.
Joy: I was reading that on the set of Will & Grace that you and Sean Hayes who plays Jack, that the two of you are wacky! And you're wacky at rehearsal and you do all kinds of simulated sex things, not real sex, but playing around type things.
Megan: Mmm, sometimes. (laughs)
Joy: So and you have alot of celebritys guest stars on the show, Glen Close, among many. What happens when they come on the set and you two are...
Megan: Its kinda sad because we have really dignified people like Sidney Pollock and these wonderful people on the show and here we are just like humping in the corner. (everyone laughs) Its not pretty but...
Joy: Glen is alot of fun though I bet she just gets right into it right, Glen Close.
Megan: (laughs) Yeah, yeah.
Barbara: Its a very classy show too. Listen Megan you gotta come back and sing next time. You can do anything from Oklahoma. (everyone laughs) Okay? Will you come back and sing?
Megan: I would love to.
Barbara: We would love to have you back. And in the meantime, I want you to be sure if you can to catch the movie The Pact. It airs tonight on Lifetime, check your local listings for times and make sure its not on opposite Justin Timberlake, other than that you can watch it! Everyone in the audience is getting a copy of Megan's new CD.
Megan: I hope you like it!
