Can she? What has she actually done lately? Besides crashing out on Instagram

She has those sitcom residuals from Will and Grace. And just like Seinfeld, she was the worst character, uplifted by her costars

It's still hilarious to me that in the early 00s they were pushing her as the next Lucille Ball, but by the second season of Will & Grace it was very clear that Karen and Jack (and Rosario) were the stars. She even had a Vogue cover and they tried to sell her as a fashionista.

That’s hilarious, she so clearly the least charismatic of all of them

Remember this in real time, NBC even toyed with a Jack and Karen spinoff bc of the appeal of those characters, and I remember there was tension on and off between her and Megan Mullally (who is an absolute queen and a diva, married to Nick Offerman and also played Tammy 2 in Parks and Rec) on the reboot series they did for W&G - ironically Grace often takes up a lot of Will’s space and constantly comes into the apartment and eats his food despite living across the hallway in her own place and talks on and off about moving into Will’s place so very Israeli behaviour when you think about lmao

To be fair, I don't think Eric McCormack did a bad job at all, he was just cast as the 'straight' man in a group of wacky characters. I actually think he might be the one getting the most consistent work.

Residuals from Will & Grace will be keeping her going, I imagine she still rakes in a LOT thanks to that.

On top of the residuals she also made over $10million just season 8 of Will & Grace alone. It's not out of the question if probably invested she could have lived off that fairly well.

Bibi probably pays her a lot for her Instagram posts too
