We can’t get enough of Megan Mullally<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

This Sunday, the Will & Grace<\/em> star<\/a>\u00a0will take on hosting the Screen Actors Guild Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s only the second time in history that the ceremony honoring actors has had an emcee. Last year, Kristen Bell<\/a><\/strong> was\u00a0the first-ever host<\/a> of the SAG Awards and she brought the laughs.<\/p>\n

We know Mullally will show off her own comedic chops when she takes the stage<\/a> at the Shrine Auditorium this weekend.<\/p>\n

After all, the 60-year-old performer is a show business veteran with more than 30 years of experience in the industry so we should expect sketches, musical numbers and more from the fan-favorite actress.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Parks and Recreation<\/em> actress\u00a0is no stranger to award shows. In addition to winning numerous trophies (including four SAG Awards) herself, she was also the host of the TV Land Awards in 2006.<\/p>\n

Find out all the reasons why Mullally is the perfect choice to host the SAG Awards below. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
