She is perhaps best recognized for her iconic portrayal of Karen Walker on the beloved sitcom Will & Grace, which aired from 1998 to 2006.

In her personal life, Mullally met actor Nick Offerman during a play in Los Angeles in 2000, and they tied the knot in 2003. The couple often collaborates creatively, with Mullally guest-starring on Parks and Recreation as Tammy, the manipulative ex-wife of Offerman's character, Ron Swanson. Today, she continues to charm audiences as Chief on Adult Swim's cult favorite, Childrens Hospital.
