“Karen Walker. I thought I smelled gin . . . and regret.” Those words spoken by her arch nemesis, Beverly Leslie, summed up the irascible and oh-so-funny gin-swilling, pill-popping character from TV’s Will & Grace. There might be some gin in the air but no regret as Karen Walker’s portrayer Megan Mullally, an accomplished singer as well as a gifted actress, comes to for a night of songs and a few anecdotes. Showtime is 8:30 p.m.
