For Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet, the Emmy nominations announcement was all about managing expectations.
“I made myself stay up until about 2 a.m. hoping it would allow me to sleep through a non-phone call or allow me to be woken up by a phone call” after the pre-6 a.m. announcement in California. “That was my approach and it worked.”
“I’m bummed Ed (O’Neill)’s not in there,” he says. “It’s bittersweet because none of this really works without one another.”

Fans of ever-smiling comedy icon Fred Willard will be pleased to learn that Phil Dunphy’s father Frank will be pulling his RV back into Modern Family next season thanks to a casting match made in heaven (with a little help from series star Ty Burrell).
“They said that I should be back, because they asked me for my photo to put in the hallway there on the set — that I’m part of the family now!” Willard tells TV Guide Magazine. The actor, who rose to prominence on the 70s series Fernwood Tonight and director Christopher Guest’s improved film oeuvre, credits Burrell for bringing him into the Dunphy clan.
