We know that Jesse Tyler Ferguson would like to see Gabourey Sidibe on Modern Family.

Movieline caught up with Sidibe:

Did she know that Ferguson was going all out to woo her for a guest stint?

“Yeah, I heard that rumor as well,” Sidibe said before she was overcome with giggles. “I actually really, really like that show. It’s the funniest show, it really is. So, I’d love to do it.”

The Precious star had only kind words for Ferguson, adding, “That guy is awesome.”

But is his quest a one-man enterprise? They asked Sidibe if Ferguson was the only rep from Modern Family she’d talked to so far. “Noooo…” she said, grinning. “I’ve talked to some other people [from the show].”

NY Magazine has an interview with THE star of Modern Family, Rico Rodriguez. Here are the highlights:

How did you feel about landing a sitcom?
When I was going on auditions, it was nerve-racking. I’d always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along, I said, “You know what, Mom? I believe I’m going to get this role.”

I’d ask you for your favorite acting job so far, but I’m guessing it’s Manny.
Yes, because I’ve never been that type of character before, but also a role on NCIS. It was my first action-type drama show. I was one of three main boys who find a gun and then they find a dead body, so that was fun.

Do you have any particular wishes for Manny?
To get a girlfriend. It would be cool to have a fake girlfriend.

Somebody get Manny a girlfriend quick… Any volunteers?

Don’t forget – you can still get “Who Da Manny” T-shirts.
