Film noir generally refers to black-and-white detective movies of the 1940s and 1950s. Unfortunately at that time, LGBT characters in film were few and far between. To remedy that, Sean Hayes of Will & Grace fame offers up his own noir character on the Maya & Marty show.

Watch Hayes help a woman in distress, played by Maya Rudolph, with fashion tips and more.
