Congratulations on another great season of Modern Family.
>> Thank you. >> Modern Family continues to be
such a funny and heartwarming show.
It always ends with such a sweet, sweet heartfelt moment.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Yeah.
>> And that's what I love about it.
>> That's a good show, it's a good job.
I like it a lot. >> Yeah.
>> Feel very fortunate.
>> And everybody on the show, you all get along.
You went to Sofia's wedding.
>> Uh-huh, yeah, we were all at Sofia's together.
I heard you were invited and you chose not to come and she kind of gave you some.
>> Well I didn't choose not to go, it was in Palm Beach.
>> It was far away.
>> It was Florida and I have a job.
Yes >> Yes, so do I.
I asked for time off it was a I totally get it it was a lot of fun
you were missed, we kept an empty chair for you, like Elijah.
>> [LAUGH] >> And it was so
I don't want to speak too much about because it wasn't my
wedding to talk about, but Joe's vows were so sweet and so fusive.
Everyone was like when he was done, it's like that was so sweet.
And then Sofia gets up and she goes, mine aren't that good.
>> [LAUGH] >> Is she German off camera?
>> Yeah sometimes when I do her she's German, yeah yeah.
Doesn't yeah.
>> [LAUGH] >> I thought she was from
Columbia, she's' German?
>> No she's a mix it sort of comes out when
she getting married you hear the German more.
>> [LAUGH] >> I see, she's completely fooled us.
>> Yeah. >> And also what is happened recently or
semi recently you and Justin had birthdays, but
your birthdays are so close together, you celebrated them together.
>> Right, he was turning 30 and I was turning 40.
Don't I feel special who I married.
I caught myself a younger man.
>> [LAUGH] >> But so
we decided to throw a big kind of epic birthday together.
But we had just got married a few years earlier,
so it kinda felt like all the same people from our wedding were there, and
it was basically like a wedding without any of the boring parts.
Like we didn't say the vows, but we got the gifts.
>> [LAUGH] >> Did you get good gifts?
>> We did! Because for
our wedding we just had people donate to our charity, Tie the Knot, and
so we didn't ask for anything for the wedding, so people gave us gifts.
It's kind of fun getting gifts.
>> It is, even when you say, we always say at birthday parties, don't bring gifts
>> In hopes people still will, but
they do, and I really do mean it.
I say don't bring gifts, I don't need anything, I hate.
>> Right, well I was at one of your birthday parties,
maybe it was an anniversary party.
>> It was a birthday party.
>> And Usher brought you a tree.
>> Yes >> So that was.
>> That was the anniversary party.
>> Right. >> Yeah, Usher gave us a tree and
a beautiful plaque talking about our love, and how sweet.
>> Yeah and I brought some flowers and a Mylar balloon.
>> Yeah. >> [LAUGH]
>> That I put under the tree.
>> [LAUGH] >> It's like it was with.
>> Yeah yeah yeah.
>> So explain to me what's happening on Broadway.
This is really impressive.
You are doing a one man show on Broadway where you play 40 different characters.
>> Yeah, because I think I'm Neil Patrick Harris for some reason.
>> [LAUGH] >> So yeah, it's a one man play
called Fully Committed.
I play a reservationist of a very, very hip, very in,
very now New York restaurant, and I play all the people who are calling into
the restaurant trying to get a table at this restaurant.
And I play the maitre 'd, and I play the hostess, and I play the chef, and
I play Naomi Campbell's assistant, who's one of the characters.
It's so much fun, it's so much work.
It's 40 characters, it's runs about 90 minutes long, and I'm doing it all summer.
>> But wait, so is this a play that someone has done before?
>> Yeah, it was written about 15 years ago and it ran off Broadway.
It was a big hit off Broadway for about three years, so
this is the first time they're doing it on Broadway.
So I'm thrilled that I get to do it, I mean I love doing theater.
>> When you do.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> We just heard how good you
are with accents.
>> [LAUGH] >> When you do.
>> You're terrible.
>> 40 different characters, do you you do their accents and stuff?
>> Yeah, I've been working with. [LAUGH] I'm so
embarrassed to say this now, because I've mentioned a horrible Sofia person.
>> And you work with her every day.
It seems like.
>> I know, I know that's the one I should get.
>> That's the one you should know.
>> I work with this dialect coach from Julliard [LAUGH]
>> Well, okay
they're not doing a good job.
>> [LAUGH] >> You
need to find yourself another coach.
>> I do. I'm doing a French accent, I'm doing.
>> Let's here that one.
>> Why didn't you tell me Lenny Kravitz was a VIP?
>> That's good. >> That's pretty good right?
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> I do
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> One of my characters is a hostess and
she's, I want her to be from the east, she sounds like Adele, thank you, thank you,
thank you.
>> [LAUGH] >> No, no, she never says thank you
three times, I just said that for the effect, but yeah, it's a lot of fun.
>> Yeah, and hard work.
