California jurors who reached a verdict in the multimillion dollar lawsuit brought by the creators of Will & Grace' sitcom against NBC Studios may have to begin deliberations again after the jury foreman was removed for failing to reveal he had a website critical of corporations, including NBC.

David Kohan and Jason "Max" Mutchnick, who had a contract to share in the sitcom's profits, sued NBC Studios for US$55 million in 2003. They claimed the company did not seek fair market value for the sitcom in renegotiating its license fee despite an earlier commitment to maximize revenues.
