Sean Hayes from Will and Grace and Nikki Blonsky from Hairspray just guest starred in Smash 2×05 “The Read-Through”! Share your thoughts on the episode and get a look ahead at next week right here!

“Public Relations” made quite the splash for the opening number in the episode! Did you think that representing Marilyn from the reporters’ perspectives showed the new Bombshell Julia is writing with Peter? Also, what did you think of Tom’s multiple goofy characters in the number?

Terry (guest star, Sean Hayes) didn’t seem to take his role in Liasons with Ivy too seriously. What did you think about Sean in a new role outside of Jack from Will and Grace? Are you upset that he didn’t get any scenes with his former co-star Debra Messing (Julia)?

Karen’s “Some Boys,” originally performed by Death Cab For Cutie, was sung to an absent Jimmy. We all know it’s inevitable, but how much longer do you think it’s going to take for him to realize how head-over-heels she is for him, and that she’s not dating Derek, like Jimmy thinks?

Nikki Blonsky had a small but rather integral role in this episode. What did you think about the bombshells she dropped about Bombshell?

Speaking of which, Bombshell finally has a script that (nearly) everyone agreed to! However, this may mean that Jimmy and Kyle’s Hit List will have to take a back seat for a while. Do you think that the decision to do Hit List completely sung was wise?

Eileen’s decision of which version of Bombshell to go with will change the course of this show’s history. Which do you think she’ll choose?

Tune in next Tuesday, March 12 for 2×06 “The Fringe,” guest-starring Sean Hayes and Nikki Blonsky. Watch the promo for the next episode below!
