Eric Stonestreet name-dropped Chiefs’ Travis Kelce at Screen Actors Guild Awards
It’s been nearly four years since “Modern Family” came to an end, but episodes are still available to stream or you can catch them on reruns.
However, the cast had not appeared on camera together until Saturday night.
At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the adult members of the show reunited: Kansas City, Kansas native Eric Stonestreet, Julie Bowen, Ed O’Neill, Sofía Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ty Burrell.
The group presented an award for Ensemble Comedy Series, and they did a humorous bit. All six tried showing how well they are all doing these days, putting on a brave face about no longer being on “Modern Family.”
At one point, Stonestreet jokingly mentioned how he’s close friends with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, whose popularity has skyrocketed since he started dating Taylor Swift.
“I know Travis Kelce,” Stonestreet said out of the blue to laughs. “I could Facetime him right now. I’m being serious. So things are really great for me. No, I’m serious, things are really great for me, guys.”
Here is the full clip, and after that is just the part of Stonestreet, who is one of the “Big Slick” co-hosts, talking about Kelce.
