[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, my god!
Oh, you mother--
Ah!
You mother--
[CHEERING]
All right, well our friends at Michaels
helped us create a haunted hallway backstage
and you were actually our first celebrity to go through it.
And so you started to go through as your character, right?
Well, I thought it'd be funny to go through as Cam,
so I rolled up my sleeves.
And then I abandoned that idea because--
That's how you get into character,
you roll up your sleeves?
It is, yeah.
Roll up the sleeves, get the wrist ready, and then I'm off.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
It's just that easy.
Yeah, it's that easy.
Wow.
But I abandoned the idea because your staff genuinely scared me.
All right.
Well, let's see how you did.
[SPOOKY MUSIC]
OK.
This is actually really scary.
[LAUGHTER]
[SCREAM]
[YELP] Oh, my gosh.
[SCREAM]
Oh, my gosh.
I've abandoned the Cam idea because now I'm
actually really scared.
[SCREAMING]
It's on national television.
[SCREAM]
Oh, you-- gosh darn it.
I am really trying hard not to cuss.
I know he's real.
[SCREAM]
Oh, you!
[SCREAM]
Hey!
Where did you come from?
You can't be real.
Oh, my gosh.
Before you go.
I thought we should do a Vine video--
Yes.
--to promote Modern Family.
But I think--
Sofia Vergara, I love her so much.
She's so good.
And whenever she's here, I make fun of her.
And I thought, what we should do is you should be Sofia.
OK.
So we'll have you with a Diet Pepsi.
[LAUGHTER]
And--
Why not?
I'm beautiful with it.
Also, let's put this on.
You don't have to--
[LAUGHS]
OK?
[APPLAUSE]
Yes.
OK.
All right.
OK, OK.
Oh wait, what are you doing in this Vine?
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah--
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
She has big lips.
I want to make sure that she has--
Oh, no.
Ooh!
OK, wait.
How is it?
I have to go somewhere after this.
All right, all right.
OK.
Andy, who's-- you got the video?
I got it right here.
All right, so--
What are you going to say?
You just start talking as--
Sofia?
--Sofia.
You just-- watch Modern Family or whatever you want.
OK?
Ready?
OK, go.
Yes, watch Modern Family on we-- oh, my god!
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING]
That's our video.
Woo!
Ah!
[LAUGHS]
Oh, my god.
Let's see.
Yes, watch Modern Family on we--
[CHEERING]
That was a clown!
Oh, my god.
OK, so he's the cutest thing in the world.
How old is he and how long have you had him?
He's 13 years.
I rescued him as a puppy.
And his name is Coleman Hawkins.
And he honestly is the cutest little guy in the world.
But in my house, that's--
I call that picture peek-a-boo around the pillow time.
But he--
He's scared to go up and down the steps?
He's not scared.
He's just, like, my old house that I lived in
was like one story.
And now there's stairs and this story.
And he's like legitimately so smart
that he's like, well, why am I doing all these stairs
if you're just going to go down and then eventually come
right back up?
I'm going to wait and see what you do down there,
and then I'll commit to coming downstairs.
Right.
So he's figured out that sometimes I just have
to run down and get something.
Or sometimes I have to run up and get something.
And he just / and then if I'm up there for five minutes
or down there for five minutes, then he'll join.
Because my dog is scared of going up and down the stairs.
That's what I thought it was.
I thought he was scared but he's--
So you have to carry him?
[SCREAM] You mother!
[CHEERING]
I'm done!
You're all guilty!
[CHEERING]
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and that's him on Modern Family.
And it's starting its seventh season.
Yeah.
And Eric Stonestreet-- I mean, that must be-- you
two are so hilarious anyway.
He must be so fun to work with.
He's a lot of fun.
I mean, we've been through this very insane thing together,
this past seven years.
So having a partner in crime that I truly love so much.
Yeah.
I mean, he's such a great guy.
You seem like a couple, like a married--
That's great, yeah.
I mean we--
Whoa!
Oh, Jesus!
[BLEEP]
[CHEERING]
[VOCALIZING]
Redemption!
I finally have gotten somebody!
You always scare me.
I know.
Oh, my god.
Nobody's scaring me today.
I was saying the nicest things about you, too.
I know.
I can't hear there.
I'll listen to them on the replay.
Oh, my god.
See, we-- no.
Behind you, behind you, behind you.
Oh, that would have been perfect.
We should have thought of that.
We should have had a double scare.
I thought of it, and they even promised not to.
We should have thought of it.
Oh.
That's how it feels?
That's how it feels.
Oh, it's awful.
Bye, guys!
Bye, Eric.
Oh, my god.
[CHEERING]
That's all.
Oh, lookit, I'm shaking.
Yeah.
Eric, OK.
So Eric--
They're wondering, why are they looking
at each other like that?
Because we love each other.
Yeah.
I noticed your shirt, by the way.
We'll talk about that in just a second.
I am filled with love and part of my love
is playing games and pranks on people.
Mhm.
So I promised him I wouldn't scare him again
because we scare him every single time.
Every single time.
So today--
Go on.
[LAUGHTER]
Today I was backstage playing ping pong,
so that he would think that there's
no way anything can happen.
I'm playing ping pong.
And we had a clown hidden in a box in his room.
And this is what happened.
So this is not where I'm getting dressed?
No.
No, no, no.
I'm over there.
Yeah, OK.
Ah!
[BLEEP]
[LAUGHTER]
Ha-ha!
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, it's good.
It is good.
We got you, again.
And did fans try to because you're the security guard,
try to convince you so they could go backstage?
Oh, all the time.
And I would get kind of the crappy positions
because I was a young guy.
But they put me off to the side of the stage one time.
And I think it was Warrant, Winger, and The Bullet Boys.
And this girl comes walking up to me.
She has this beautiful flowing skirt on.
And she's like, hi.
And I'm like, hey.
How are you, you know?
She's like, so what would I have to do to get backstage?
I'm like, oh, well you need this special pass.
Not kidding you, she lifts up her dress and she goes,
would this special pass work?
Oh, my god.
And I'm like, oh, my god, that's hilarious, because I
can't let you back there.
Oh, my god.
I can't even imagine.
I mean, if you're a security guard, especially at that age
where you're actually--
Ah!
[ROARING]
[LAUGHS]
[APPLAUSE]
[GRUNTING]
Finally!
Tap out!
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
Now who's laughing, punk?
I've been waiting for that guy for how many performances?
I don't know, a lot.
He's done a lot of them.
I'm out of breath.
Nurse!
Oh, my gosh.
Corey, you were out of there so fast.
Literally, we were hoping when he jumped up you'd grab him,
but he started leaving.
And then I showed my quickness.
Yeah, you did.
You got him.
How's Corey?
Is he OK?
I don't care.
[LAUGHTER]
I didn't even realize this.
Someone reminded me, we created this table for you.
This became the Eric Stonestreet scare table
because we ran out of ways to scare you,
so we created this table.
And we're going to now dedicate--
What?
--this table.
Yep, Andy, come on in.
Andy Zenor is going to dedicate--
[LAUGHTER]
You have--
Aww.
[APPLAUSE]
Hi, Andy.
Yep.
So there you go.
That's dedicated to you.
That's so sweet.
Yeah.
Do I get it or?
No, it stays here because we plan on scaring other people.
With-- oh, you're still going to use it.
That's why we padded the top, yes.
Because still, someone's going to pop out of it.
But it's your scare table now.
It's dedicated to you.
Thank you.
That is so sweet.
I'm honored.
Yeah, well I didn't realize that we actually created it for you,
so it should be your table.
That's the first one I did.
And I picked that picture because that
was very early in the show and I look great in that picture.
[LAUGHTER]
And I thought, well, that will be--
ah, you son of a [BLEEP]
[CHEERING]
You built a tunnel?
[APPLAUSE]
A tunnel?
[CHEERING]
Oh, my god, there is a tunnel.
It's--
It's like Shawshank Redemption.
I crawled through four miles.
It's the Eric Stonestreet tunnel now.
Oh, my god.
Ellen DeGeneres.
Oh, my god.
Ellen, name three things you spend the most time washing
in the shower.
My dog, and my other dog, and my other dog.
[DING]
She's got a lot of dogs.
Three dogs.
I have three dogs.
It's the same thing.
It's like going to the checkout line with 10 things and--
whatever.
Eric, name three things you're scared of.
Oh, Ellen DeGeneres-- oh, you mother--
[CHEERING]
He's leaving.
Let's go.
Oh, my god, that was great.
He's leaving.
[CHEERING]
