‘Will & Grace’ creator: Gay marriage move was ‘choreographed’

“Will & Grace” co-creator Max Mutchnick alleged Thursday that President Barack Obama’s endorsement yesterday of gay marriage was “very choreographed,” and that the White House should not have been surprised by Vice President Joe Biden’s earlier endorsement on “Meet the Press.”

”My husband and I were at a private function in Los Angeles two weeks prior to the ‘Meet the Press’ airing this Sunday,” the TV producer said on “CBS This Morning.” “And Vice President Biden was talking to a small group and he made the reference to ‘Will & Grace’ in that room and called me out at that moment.”

On Sunday, Biden told “Meet the Press” moderator David Gregory that he supports gay marriage and that “‘Will and Grace’ probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody’s ever done so far.”

Mutchnick said Biden was being recorded by a White House aide at the Los Angeles function two weeks earlier.

“It says to me that this was all very choreographed,” he said. “Vice President Biden made it very clear that day these were his views and so much so that they wanted to record him.”

“This Morning” co-host Charlie Rose asked Mutchnick, based on his account, whether the White House should have been surprised by Biden’s comments.

“It doesn’t seem right to me because it was verbatim what he had said three weeks earlier,” Mutchnick replied. “He was testing the material out of town and then he took it to a larger house.”
