  • We're back with Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

  • So that's a clip from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

  • And it's a reboot of the ABC show.

  • Did you ever think you'd be hosting that?

  • It's so cool.

  • My career has taken me in like the weirdest places.

  • I thought I was just going to be a theater actor for the longest

  • time.

  • And then all of a sudden I was on Modern Family.

  • So I've just always gone with the flow.

  • And this was one of those things that came to me.

  • And I was like, why me?

  • And like they explained why they thought I'd be a good host.

  • I was like, that sounds about right.

  • I think I would be too.

  • And it was really fun.

  • It was really fun.

  • It's so out of my comfort zone.

  • But I had a great time doing it.

  • And so the thing I'm fascinated about, it takes five

  • days to put a house together?

  • We build these homes in five days.

  • Yeah.

  • And I thought we--

  • Well that's insane.

  • I know.

  • I know.

  • Like it takes me like five days to find someone to help

  • me fix a toilet.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • But five days.

  • Wow.

  • I hope the quality is good.

  • There's always a little bit of a punch list at the end.

  • But I was looking around, and it looked really good.

  • Because I was looking for that, though.

  • Wait a minute.

  • The punch list takes a year.

  • Yeah.

  • It's a very long punch list.

  • No, no.

  • They do an amazing job.

  • Because like thousands of volunteers

  • descend upon this town to help build this house.

  • And you shot it over the summer.

  • Yes.

  • How was that?

  • August to September.

  • Hot.

  • Oh my God.

  • Very, very hot.

  • Up in Northern California where it was just very toasty.

  • And when you're on TV, there's, always

  • someone powdering you down.

  • And you never meant to look shiny or sweaty at all.

  • I'm just sweat stains everywhere.

  • Like no one cares.

  • Now listen.

  • You're going back to Broadway, right?

  • I am.

  • Yeah.

  • In what play?

  • Take Me Out.

  • Yes!

  • [CHEERING]

  • Yes.

  • I'm very, very excited.

  • And the last time I was on Broadway,

  • I was doing a one man show the same time you were doing,

  • basically a one man show on Broadway.

  • Right.

  • And this guy, tell me your name?

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • This guy, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, is on his phone.

  • We're both doing one man shows on Broadway.

  • On his phone, takes a video.

  • And as he's walking, filming himself, my picture, my marquee

  • comes, with my stupid face in it.

  • And you're like, ugh, one man shows.

  • Ugh.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • It was so funny.

  • Or something like that.

  • But anyway, I'm so proud of you.

  • I can't wait to see this show.

  • I'm going to fly out and see it opening night.

  • I would love to do that.

  • Yes, please be there.

  • I would love it.

  • Extreme Makeover: Home Edition airs Sunday nights

  • at 9:00 on HGTV.

  • We'll be right back.

We're back with Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
