Modern Family - Jesse Tyler Ferguson Can't Stop Laughing

Purchase full-length Paley Center DVD of this event here: amzn.to/YCi6rd. Also on amazon instant video.
The youngest cast members talk about growing up on the set. Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell Pritchett) finds it hard to keep a straight face while shooting. Even if nothing funny is happening, the absurdity of pretending to be another person cracks him up.

What articulate kids. It's frightening when I was their age i wouldn't be able to respond like that.

[@cjhpianohero]

I'm over 20 and still can't answer questions like that...

[@ellieemmerling240]

Nolan is insanely intelligent. Has a IQ like Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory

[@kavyapahwa452]

+Ellie Emmerling Nolan has an IQ of 150 and sheldon has an IQ of 187

[@zc9003]

calm down mate...I think her point was he is incredibly smart. Do i have to remind you that sheldon isn't real.

[@randy109]

According to Wikipedia Nolan Gould has an IQ of 150 and graduated High School (GED) at age 13. If true, he is a great actor because "Luke" is sure no genius! I love this show.

[@leysont]

+randy109 You apparently haven't watched very far. At the beginning, Luke seemed stupid, but later he seems very intelligent to me.

[@bellevolent]

There is a video where he was on the Ellen show and he said that he is a part of Memphis which is a groups of highly intelligent people, yes he is a GENIUS

love how most, if not all, of the cast is actually funny in real life. they don’t need writers in order to get laughs. love it. hands down one of the best casts in the history of tv

+Patrick Kort Kamp hhhhhhhhhh Yeah, that episode hhhhhh

[@leysont]

+Patrick Kort Kamp I skipped that scene, because it was too silly.

[@cheesetomycracker]

Wearing a dress at 15 is completely normal. The difference between Ariel and normal teenagers is that she has people who pick out expensive dresses for her. Given the chance, any 15 year old would dress the same.

I love Jesse!! He's super funny! Wish I had him as a friend for real lol :) All of them are amazing but my favourites are him, Al Bundy (excuse me) and Sofia Vergara (Gloria).

[@spider123666]

Nolan exceptionally brilliant ... member of Mensa from childhood....he is natural in everything!!!!

[@queenpinkhead]

so you guys complain about a Girl acting "mature" but the 12 year old boys get away with acted like that? get out of here. fkn haters. these kids are smart...get over it

[@MsMoneySterling]

He's a member of Mensa. He's extremely intelligent.

[@sucasainmobiliaria5674]

Wowww... those kids act as they actually do in the show!!!.. love you guys!!, hugs from Peru!!, I´m your fan!!

[@robertgraham9598]

I have to say that Phil, Cam, and Gloria have been my favorite characters, and Manny my favorite of the kids. Julie Bowen is gorgeous and some of the part-time characters have been great as well, like Elizabeth Banks (who has the Midas touch) and Nathan Lane.

[@ElMaestroGordo]

Of those 4 youngsters, I don't know who I like best?!!? :-o I look forward to seeing them for years 2 come. How poised & mature do they sound for their ages!

[@TheTrinigurl111]

Well I guess no one is ever going to be liked by everyone, but people have the right to act/dress however they want and they should very well be left alone to do so. Sucks that there is more negative than positive comments -_- Some people need a hug!

[@shengzhouqiu3140]

aaaaaa, Jesse is soooooooooooo cute. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(shouting out loud)

Ya.. Title misleading

[@jamesschaefer9586]

3:30 to 3:38. He actually blinks when he gets nerves! LOL!

[@superstringcheese]

It's like their responses were written by a Disney corporate PR committee, vetted by a team of White House attorneys, and memorized 10 seconds before they hit they stage.

[@famb31]

The casting on this show was excellent. Not a bad actor amongst them.

[@TheSayaV]

Rico is as serious as Mani hahaha

[@krissyy9686]

stop the hate people, the whole cast is funny and you are judging them on 1 interview!!!

Nope but I'm judging Ariel's parents on that skimpy dress.

he said "Alex".. we know her real name, that was not a point.

[@MsLollipop2001]

Hà Hải Nguyễn better don't look at her Instagram

[@robertgraham9598]

She dresses like that so often, and has been highly inappropriate at times that it makes me think she's been "Alex" for so long that she's trying to overcompensate to proof she's not the geek that Alex is.

About the funny scene that Jesse couldn't get over- does anyone know which episode it is?

[@onlydreaming]

ahah no worries! honestly, they're not so much grammar Nazis as humorless duds - BIG difference, in my eyes haha. personally, I love grammar, but I also love language - which is why I think it's awesome how a hyperbole can make simple comments funny. buuuut some people don't share that opinion so .. *kanyeshrug*

[@UpAndLeave]

he's that good of an actor

[@steppedat]

Did you LITERALLY do it? Haha

[@MFucko96]

all the kids sound like they are already grown up :O

[@h0pje]

How did he finish high school when he was born in 1998?

[@onlydreaming]

yes, that is what we learn-ed people call a "hyperbole." beauty of the english language. if people went around only saying what they LITERALLY meant all the time, we wouldn't have hyperboles or idioms or metaphors or any of that good stuff! no hemingway, no ee cummings, no shakespeare. I mean, ppl usually learn this stuff in like 5th grade - but in your case, better late than never, I guess! #TYL

[@matthewcollins4368]

I didn't think so. What made you say that?

[@onlydreaming]

wait, pause for a sec and tell me if you REALLY were under the impression that I actually meant that Sarah and Mila were the same person, and not that I was using a funny exaggeration (which, btw, IS the definition of a hyperbole...) I thought we've been poking fun back and forth until now, but now I'm getting the feeling that you were actually serious. in which case, I'm very sorry for you and I'm very sorry to have fun of your debilitation.

[@jeslichew]

bahahahaaa, i love jesse xD

[@benspalding3370]

If this show doesn't make you laugh enough to like it then don't resent it from existing. If you do resent it from existing... CUT IT OUT IN FUTURE!!! It's incompatible and selfish to resent shows from existing!
