Before Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally were household names for playing their beloved characters on Will & Grace, the actors had to star in promotional photo shoots for the new sitcom back when it premiered in 1998.

From riding the subway in tuxes to awkwardly holding retro TV sets and eating ice cream, these pictures prove that the '90s were a weird time for network TV. Scroll through below to see some of the most bizarre photos of the cast we could find.

Hopefully the promo shoots for the upcoming revival are a little less embarrassing.
