There was a recently a report in Forbes that Modern Family is ending next season, but no one asked any of the cast members if it is true. Today when Ed O’Neill was on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, she straight out asked him.
The show’s patriarch told her, “We are contracted through 10 and then it is open ended, but the feeling is it is probably going to be it.” Then when she asked if the rest of the cast feels the same way, he said, “I don’t know how they feel about going on, I just, you know we are contracted through 10 and then we’ll see. But I don’t know.” It is almost like he spoke when he shouldn’t have because the network has yet to announce next season as the final one. What do you think?
He also talked about how he got the job, almost lost it and then got it back it, and what is next for him when Modern Family officially ends.
Will you be sad to see this sitcom go away? I don’t know about you, but I am ready to move on.
And make sure to watch the whole interview above to hear how he doesn’t recognize the most famous of stars in the world when they tell him that they are a huge fan.
