Will & Grace star Megan Mullally is on the verge of signing a "seven-figure deal" for her own daytime talkshow, according to the Hollywood Reporter today.

The new show - proposed by NBC - would begin towards the end of 2006, just months after Will & Grace concludes its eighth (and likely final) season.

Should the comedy survive through a ninth season in 2006-07, the talker's schedule would be altered to accomodate her working on both projects.
