The "Will & Grace" star drops by "Busy Tonight" where she reveals that it was husband Nick Offerman's fault that Simpson's spirit was so restless.
Busy Philipps welcomed "Will & Grace" star Megan Mullally to the Halloween installment of her new talk show "Busy Tonight," so it's totally appropriate that Megan brought a ghost story with her, right?
