Jesse Tyler Ferguson Lightning Round

Given his experience as the host of his own podcast, Dinner’s on Me, it’s no surprise that Jesse Tyler Ferguson is an expert at answering questions in a restaurant setting. On this week’s bonus episode of Table for Two, the actor joins host Bruce Bozzi and discusses whether he prefers performing on Broadway or television, his favorite Modern Family episode, and the one word he’d use to describe Sofía Vergara.
