“So she was supposed to wear, you know, Anne Klein II suits with sneakers and be the kind of woman you’d see on the subway.
Speaking to the “Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef” podcast, Janetti recalls: “ like an executive secretary, the kind of woman who wears her sneakers on the subway and carries her shoes in her bag and goes to a happy hour after work and thinks she’s kind of like, you know, a big deal in her tiny office.” The episode, which drew almost 18 million viewers, was titled “Dolls and Dolls.” In it, Madonna played Liz, Karen’s (Megan Mullally) messy roommate. The Queen of Pop appeared on Season 5 of the hit show as part of the promotional campaign for her album American Life. Madonna refused to wear the costumes provided for her when she taped an episode of Will & Grace back in 2003, according to executive producer Gary Janetti.
