Shelley Morrison, Will & Grace (1999-2006)

One of the funniest things about NBC’s hit comedy Will & Grace, was the constant fighting between Karen Walker (Megan Mullaly) and her maid, Rosario Salazar (played brilliantly by Spanish actress, Shelley Morrison). Karen and Rosie would often engage in shouting matches, make fun of each other's outfits, and trade insults (like, "Lady, tonight you better sleep with one eye open!"), but at the end of the day, they really did love each other. Check out some of their best fights here.
