Debra Messing is a funny lady, but she can be even funnier without any context. She and her costars just appeared on the Summer TCA panel for her new Fall detective comedy, The Mysteries of Laura, and the cast was pretty hilarious. They spoke about their upcoming show, cracked some jokes, and divulged a borderline unhealthy relationship with murder shows. Here are the funniest quotes from Messing, costars Josh Lucas and Janina Gavankar, and producer McG — with zero context, because they're funnier that way. Source: NBC
