Jesse Tyler Ferguson predicts Modern Family’s Emmy streak will end this year
Jesse Tyler Ferguson thinks that as far as the Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy goes, the Modern Family winning streak is poised to come to an end.
The ABC sitcom won the prize for each of its first five seasons and is nominated for a sixth time this year.
‘I think if we win there will be a collective moan in the audience,’ Ferguson said on Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday (25 August).
Modern Family’s competition is FX Network’s Louie, the final season of NBC’s Parks And Recreation, HBO’s Silicon Valley, Amazon’s Transparent, Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and HBO’s Veep.
Ferguson seems to think the groundbreaking Transparent (‘a great show’) will prevail and also likes the chances of Veep (‘On fire’) and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Still, he says, ‘It’s great that we’re still in the running.’
Whatever happens, Ferguson will be more relaxed at the 20 September ceremony in Los Angeles since this is the first year since the show began that he was not nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Ferguson did not win in his five previous nominations. His onscreen husband, Eric Stonestreet, was also passed over this year. Stonestreet has only been nominated three times but has won twice.
With 144 episodes in syndication, Ferguson is aware that the show ‘is on all the time. If you don’t like our show i apologize.’
Among those watching the reruns is Ferguson himself.
‘I like seeing how we’ve all changed – especially the kids,’ he says. ‘It’s like looking at an old photo album.’
Modern Family’s seventh season premiere is on 23 September.
