In conversation with the media outlet, the actor was asked if he or the cast of Modern Family were ever tired of winning, to which the sitcom star replied, “No, but the audience got sick of us being there.” The cast and the creators won five awards, maintaining a winning streak till 2015.
Furthermore, Ferguson shared, “We won five years in a row, which is some sort of record.” He added, “I think we tied with Frasier for the most consecutive Emmy wins in a row and I remember the year we won for the fifth time; there was a collective groan in the audience.”
Meanwhile, the podcast host also recalled that it became difficult for the cast members to leave the venue after losing to Veep. He elaborated, “I hope this doesn't make us sound too gross, but when we didn't win the sixth year, we didn't know how to get out of the building.” He continued to say, “A group of like 10 actors [saying], ‘Well, that's the way we went last year.’”
The host of the show, Busy Phillips, too, stated that it was funny to watch the cast not winning and still wanting to face the press backstage.
Moreover, Tyler Ferguson revealed that with the years, the cast members have grown closer and have bonded over like a family.
The team members of the sitcom included Ed O’Neill, Ty Burrel, Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara, Eric Stonestreet, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, and Nolan Gould, among others.
