Jesse Tyler Ferguson: I Was the Puzzle Piece That Didn’t Fit

- Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family, Dinner’s On Me Podcast) discusses why Modern Family was a pop culture touchstone, being bullied as a child and typecast as an adult, and the importance of having well-rounded gay characters. Jesse reveals he used to have a crush on Mayim as a kid, he and Mayim discuss being on competing shows at the same time, and their shared friendship with Jim Parsons. He opens up about why he resonated with Modern Family’s premise and cast, the show’s fears about showing displays of affection between its gay characters, and meeting his husband at the start of the series. He reflects on getting arrested for shoplifting porn as a child, his awareness of his sexuality at a young age, why community theater and debate club were a positive outlet for him, and why winning a Tony award had a deep impact on him.

We have lost 2 great sitcoms. I never looked at Mitch and Cam as a guy couple Just as a couple with a child. I am 71 and loved watching them. Jesse is a wonderful actor. His story was heartbreaking
This is one of my fave episodes. I've never watched Modern Family, I think I will now, Jesse is such a warm, lovely person.
I was watching MF once, and found myself howling with laughter, and realizing how rare shows were/are that made me laugh like that were. Honestly, that show was truely a 'laugh out loud' show.
It's such a great show, truly hilarious! Schitts Creek was that "laugh out loud" show for me!! Omg if you haven't watched, go now! Stop reading comments and put it on! Come on, what are you still doing here!? 🤣 🤣 🤣
Wow...never seen MF? Try it, you'll like it 😊
Me, either.
Same, I'm considering watching the show now! 🙌
I love Mayim’s reaction whenever the guest says they were a Blossom fan.
No matter who you’re talking to or what’s being discussed, I seem to find something every episode that reminds me everyone might be different, but everyone is so similar. Today, it was Jesse talking about looking for where he fit & needing to find where he’s supposed to be.
💯 Fabulous insight!! 🔥
@@MayimBialik you're awesome Mayim! You're my favorite actress ever!
These podcasts help me so much. I’m 15 and love modern family and TBBT so much. I’m lesbian and struggle with it sometimes but listening to people I look up to talk about how it’s okay is so amazing! Also loved the episode you did a few months ago with Julie Bowen. You guys are my favourite actress!! So sweet to see Jesse and Jim being friends (cried a little of happiness) thank you Mayim for helping me when i need it the most
There will be many people in your life who will love you for you and not your preferences. Seek them out as you journey along and don’t settle for less. ❤

34:16 I LOVE that you said this. Whenever I see a comment on social media somewhere saying being gay or transgender (but moreso transgender now) is "a phase" and "kids don't know what they want" and "I will say I"m a puppy so I"m a puppy".. I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ask them "Why is it ok for you to know you are straight but it's not ok for someone who's gay/transgender/etc to not know who they are?" I HAVE NEVER ONCE GOTTEN A DIRECT REPLY TO THIS QUESTION FROM THE UNEDUCATED AND ILINFORMED!
Seeing my favorite character being partially and genuinely his character is just really really touching . I am so happy that not everyone is straight and white as I am (not in a naive way) just happy , cause I gain so so much from his personality. It’s so enriching to my life and I feel so fortunate that I live in a time where people like Jesse are “allowed” to inspire me . There is a really cozy, warm place in my heart that is reserved for him and his sensitivity. Thank you . For the interview, for the inside and openness, but really just for being you Jesse ! ❤
Haven't watched the episode yet but I'm so happy to see Jesse on here. Absolutely adore him!
I remember Jesse Tyler Ferguson from Modern Family. Thank you so much for having him in this episode, he is a great guest. You are amazing Mayim! ❤
I have to admit I never watched the show Modern Family, so I was not familiar with this actor. But what a delightful interview and such a warm and wonderful person. Enjoyed it!
Maybe my favorite episode! Thank you for having this fabulous, funny, kind & brilliant man! As you two are here speaking so freely with fabulous Jesse about how things were merely 10-15 years ago regarding gay couples, I’m asking myself if we’re truly aware how all minorities rights won in past & hard struggles are receding now by giant steps worldwide..It’s because that that “Out & Proud” militant people as same Jesse or Jim Parson must be heard loud & clear! Thanks so much for having Jesse here. Eagerly waiting to have Jim here too! Diversity, gender equity & inclussive films & convos are so much needed. For constant pedagogy. Word of this straight HHRR’s defendant woman in her early 60’s who recently watched Jim Parson’s Spoiler Alert film & did what never does: cried. Such stunning love story. Beyond gender & sexuality issues. Oscar-worthy performance by Jim!
Hi Mayim, I'm a 17 year old Italian boy. I always love hearing your podcast, you always ask the right and interesting questions and it's so much fun and educational. The Big Bang Theory helped me and helps me a lot and it's thanks to you too... You're a great person, I love you and wish you the best!
I truly think The Mitchell and Cam characters changed the way other people thought about and acted towards me and my ss relationship. They normalised gay relationships.👍🏼❤
Loved the episode but please don't get rid of the last segment with you and Jonathan. Often my favorite parts of podcasts. Back to the episode, great guest. I found Jesse so fun and refreshing and light.
Love this human, so well spoken and delightful! Jesse, please be my friend! ❤😊
This conversation left me with a smile and such a positive and sunny feeling! Thank you! ❤
Just wanted to add to the end of the conversation, that not only people insist on one specific gender for baby clothes, but also that it's extremely hard to find gender neutral clothes in general. I had a hard time finding specific types of shirts for my child because what my kid wanted was only targeted to the opposite gender in the toddler years. I wish we could have more neutral options for kids of all ages.
This is such a great podcast. I'd really LOVE to see Pedro Pascal on here, he has talked about how he deals with anxiety and such, and he's so amazing. Quite busy, though, lol, fingers crossed.
You always do the best interviews, Mayim and Johnathan. I appreciate you! Mayim you're lovely - we all have a day where our hair is crazy lol
Jesse is my favorite LGTBQ+ actor on Modern Family. Thanks for having him on your podcast, Mayim!
glad to see u use the full acroynm and that he started saying same sex i jsut dont feel he needs them headphones on n i drifted from her podcasts glad to be back n good to see this 1
I loved this episode Jesse is a great actor and a great human being i first saw him in modern family but then I started to follow his trajectory in theater too and I get it why we loved his character Mitchell so much is so talented and transparent that you can tell he is honest in his job talking about his career but personally he taught me the importance of diversity and the challenges behind that I had some different point of view about the lgbt community by the way my parents raised me but now I can understand that everyone deserves love and happiness and the necessity to be heard it is so touching 😊❤
I love you Mayim!!!! Thanks for being such a great role model! ☀💞 I think this channel is really important!!
I would love to see Jesse again soon in any role - gay or straight. He is such a fun likable person (just like Neal Patrick). I hope Jesse keeps in mind that there are many of us “watchers” who aren’t so dialed-in on the actors sexuality preference because we/I find the actor so enjoyable to watch. I hope Jease gets to read this message. He is such a beautiful delightful person to watch. Looking forward to seeing more of him in anything! Mahalo🙏🏼💐💞🤗!!!
An actor doesn't only have to be able to act well. They also need to be able to "sell tickets" and that is almost more important than how good actors they are. That is way there are only a handful of movie stars left as so few have name recognition enough to draw an audience.
Not in studio but together ‼️Welcome back Jonathan‼️😎♥️♥️
Mayim- your hair is rockin! Great look, love the style, volume and parting and the back pieces are flattering. Whoever did you nailed it. So loving it. You shine!
Starting a work week on a Tuesday so glad there was a new episode to get me through and that I worked from home so that I could laugh out loud literally. What a fun great episode. Jesse is so funny. You keep bringing us different perspectives and it's fantastic.
Decades from now Jesse and Modern Family will be seen as the new era trailblazers..So sad that even in 2023 we can’t just be human.
Oh my Godness! Speechless discovering “the man” behind the actor! Jesse Tyler Fergusson “in flesh” here! I feel that now you “owe us” somehow to have your common and dear friend Jim Parsons here too to close the circle! Even if I imagine that Jim as your guest must be difficult (or exactly the contrary) precisely by your close friendship.
So sweet when Tyler speaks about his own crush on Mayim, and so adorable Mayim’s reaction on that! So delightful too when Jonathan asks him if he’s a part of her fan club! Still laughing. Glorious moments when he blushes red as he speaks ab stealing gay porn and his mom’s 100 condoms gift! Even if it seems to me it was a hard way the way he came out (and who isn’t?). Such unique man and such brave militancy! Thank you to the three of you! 💜💛
And a note: now that tv writers are on strike for a fair payment, we must homage the ones that both your fabulous sitcoms, TBBT and MF had. Along with their magnificent ensembles, you gave (and still give me) so much happy moments! Forever grateful!
I would love to see Dinners on me as well on tv! That is amazing! Can we see it maybe on TH-cam if not possible on tv?! 😻😻😻😻
I had the same situation with my 12th grade English teacher in 1980 wanting me to do my monologue that I had just won with at a tournament the weekend before. I pulled her aside and told her it was about two gay men, she turned deep red and said well I guess we won't be doing that then and launched into her lesson for the day.
Loved this episode so much! Great questions and Jesse is wonderful.
I would love to see him play a diametric opposite to the Family Guy characters. I could see him as a very serious, straight-laced bad-guy, a serial killer or assassin kind. He has the ability to bring an intensity to such a role that would make it 100% believable. Add some warmth to the reason for the job and we would even root for him to succeed in his assignment (LOL).
Family guy 😂
This podcast had tears going down my face & laughter bursting out. I ❤️ this! 🎉
I hate how in this day and age where we are encouraged to be more open minded toward people of all walks of life we seem to be more closed minded. This thought comes when Jesse was talking about being turned down for a straight roll. It's like those in charge of casting don't understand what the term "acting" is.
Great episode! I really enjoyed this.
I love tea. I want to be everyone's cup of tea too but also don't want to tone anything down. It is a pressure no matter who you're representing.
Another great episode! Thank you!
I can't believe he had to go in from of a judge for shoplifting, I live in Canada and was caught shoplifting in my teens and I didn't have to go in front of a judge and I think a social worker told me what my punishment was, which was some community service and some counseling and an apology letter to the store I got caught in.
Wow! What an interesting person. Im so glad you interviewed him!!
Jessie is relatable I used to be that theatre and choir kid from high school always doing something. And that mutual feeling having a universal crush on you Mayim😅😂❤
Just love the realness of you guys and your show... if that a “real” word 😂
I really really really adore people in this videos, whatever they do, acting, working, sharing or just simply living, they are angels and they are shiny in every single moment as they put their hearts in what they do. I feel so thankful that somehow in life, I had a chance to know about TBBT and MF. Thank you guys so much for the great great works which keeps people like me being positive and happy in both daily basis and careers. Thank you 🌷
Really like Modern Family and listening to this podcast make me know about Jesse more.
Beautifully done !!!!
I am here for episode when Myiam AND Jonathan are on Jesse's podcast. Would LOVE THAT.
Absolutely love this podcast ❤
I’m sorry, but until Americans think Europe is a country, or Europe is only the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, the “narrow minded” comment about how Europeans see the US does not land that nice, respectfully.
That aside, it was a great episode, i love JTF!
am I the only one who first thought it was Ned until reading the title? just something about the thumbnail angle
The Awesomeness Continues!! 😎👍👌🔜 Fantastic Episodes! ✊👊🍁
Awesome episode...Jesse has a LOT of "Rose Nylund" in him :)
It's awesome you and Jessie both share a friendship with Jim Parsons, Mayim. You and him are my favorite actor and actress ever! Keep your good job! I really miss you as Amy in Big Bang Theory! You and Jim Parsons really did a great job playing Sheldon and Amy: the best fictional couple in history! I found both of them very similar to me in personality. I had never related to fictional characters very much before Big Bang Theory
The first time I saw Mayan was on a spin off show called Empty Nest.
You should interview Ty Burrell!!! I absolutely adore that man!!
Thank you Mayim. I love this interview.
Love this episode
I truly enjoyed the show! 😍
I LOVE JESSE!!!!!!!!! He's just fascinating and Mitch forever 😅❤
How many belly aches this man has given me as Mitchell... 💖😄🙇🏼♀️
So real! No pretense or ego! ❤
I adore GTF! So happy to watch this interview. I think Mitch and Cam are one of the funniest couples on a sitcom EVER, gay or straight! ❤
Thanks ❤
I loved “The Class” and was so disappointed when it was cancelled! Jessie’s character was my favorite from that show.
I love this episode！！！
I think we're in a "X can only play X" and "Y can only write Y" (because it happens so much in writing spaces), because we need to be. But this should be treated as a transitional space. People should be upset but then we have to find equilibrium. Once we condition spaces that are not open to diversity to be diverse, we have to default back to X can play anyone; Y can write anything. Because that's true to the human experiences. These variables (X, Y, Z) really don't speak to who we are at the core.
Ironic how Hollywood does actors/actresses. It's ACTING.... portraying different characters. An art of being someone else. By type casting, it's really a waste of so much talent. And by the way he's adorable!
I can't stop crying after the Mandalorian, and also because Modern Family is over.
I feel like Maynard James Keenan would be a very interesting guest on this show
I also loved that kiss scene because it was snot a grandiose moment. It is not a big deal of the straight married couples kiss so, the most equal thing you can do is to be the same for the gay married couple. It bothers me that they now add a gay couple in a show for shock value. It feels 1. Forced. 2. backwards. That's why that couple was so great it was a funny and loving couple navigating adoption, not focusing on their sexuality.
Hi loved you since Blossom. Did you know your podcast song theme is the same opening tune for Archie? Google Archie Bunker some time! Love you on Jeopardy BBT and your podcast. Critics.....who needs 'em?? Love Jonathan too. I also manage OCD. I live in Yuma AZ and fall to sleep to podcasts of many different subjects. I'm 63yo and a classically trained opera singer, have a rescue cat, enjoyed Cats and know you are a triple threat! Enjoy the here and now MB!! Yours, MA
I loved The Class. And when I saw Jesse on Modern Family, i was excitrd to see him.
I still wonder when Jim is going to be a guest in Mayim’s channel ?? 😢
He was on the show in 2021 !
@@alexandrat.h.4290 Huhh which video?
Never mind, I was wrong! I was thinking of an actor on actor interview but it wasn't Mayim's Breakdown... sorry for the false hope
Caught stealing gay porn... I would have been mortified and probably scarred for life!
I found some magazines when I was a kid 😅😅 I didn't steal them, but still 😮😮
What a great actor. JTF!
Mayim you’ve gotta get Neil on the podcast
I just adore JTF
I’m 66 year old gay man who was born and raised in Brooklyn New York and I was coming out just after stone wall and I was an singer and actor and live in a very suburban neighborhood in Brooklyn and catholic and innocent to who I was and how I would fit in. I had a battle being forced out by my very catholic mother who forced me out not because she was helping me but wanted to shame me out of my gayness and she was the one who I needed backbone to say there is no shame in being me. Yet I was the only one who loved Brooklyn and most of my found family my picked family and I was excited in the theater world. I move to Tucson Arizona to help my husbands health and it did yet I understand now that my husband died from cancer not why we moved. He was everything to me and me to him but I understand Mr Ferguson because I’m reddish blonde and a hot place that I am stuck in and my family is in New York. I had a wonderful 38 years with my husband and Tucson gave us a wonderful 18 years together and regret nothing. Yet I would never pick this place and as hard as it is living here for me and how hard it is to find my family. . This feeling of being in the wrong place is not just a thing for 15 year old gay boys but also my.
Good actors should play parts , based on being right for the part,it is sad that we are at a time that gay actors are not right for straight parts.
OHMYGOD I LOVE MODERN FAMILY. I liked the BBT, but I never was able to relate to sny of the characters. When i got my ADHD diagnosis, one of my first reaxtions was, ohmygosh im Phil! Whenever I lose something or reaze exactly how off track i am I mentally grumble at Phil... I named my ADHD Phil.
Sorry to be so off topic from this episode. But representation matters.
❤
His blonde eyelash is really stunning.
Why why why do you have annoying background soundtrack over his talking? Just pick one or the other; his talk or the soundtrack. Why do you think it adds to the video? It's an irritating trend that ruins the enjoyment.
Straight characters, gay characters? It's acting! Do you have to be a criminal to play a criminal? Seriously, it's about the actors ability to become someone he/she is not.
The people were blaming the writers more than the actors .
"Type Casting" has been around as long as acting has been around. Why are people surprised by this? It's not right, and the people with power who limit people because of Type Casting are the wrong people to hold the creative reigns.
Clearly there were no gay writers on that show since Cam was written like a character on Three’s Company back in 1982 🙄. Such a tv stereotype of a feminine gay man.
You should interview Kathy Griffin!
💛💚🤍
Annoying mealy mouth sounds and gum cracking are the central sounds in my misophonia.
23:47 I honestly think that Eric was the very best person to play Cameron. And honestly don’t give a fu*k if anyone is against it.
Mayim love your hair - it’s a lovely fresh look 🥰
Are we finally get the spin off with you and Cameron and Lily ?
