Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Red Carpet Rejection

0:00It's April 22nd. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI, Your Front Row, to the latest buzz. I'm Cory with the story. Jesse Tyler Ferguson dropped a hilarious story on his podcast about getting straight up snubbed on a red carpet right before Modern Family blew up. This was back in 2009 when he was still hustling from his short-lived Fox sitcom Do Not Disturb, which only ran for 13 episodes. With Nisi Nash and Jerry O'Connell, he was at some event, named card out for photographers and reporters, posing for picks like a pro. Then his young intern handler checks with the news crews if anyone wants an interview, and one looks at his name and yells pass, like no way. Ferguson cracked up instead of getting mad, telling the embarrassed kid, this is showbiz, one day you're hot, next you're not. That moment captured the grind before the fame hit. Modern Family made him a star as Mitchell Pritchett, snagging five Emmy nods.

1:00Now he's popping up on Ellsbyth, and even in that wild cocaine bear flick, proving he turned that pass into a full-court press.
