Stonestreet and Ferguson to Host Writers Guild Awards

Modern Family stars Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson are scheduled to host the West Coast Writers Guild of America Awards on February 5.

The Emmy-nominated actors play gay couple Cameron and Mitchell on the hit ABC series.

"Audiences don't know these guys can sing, dance, juggle, clown, and have done everything from motion pictures to Broadway," WGA producer Spike Jones Jr. said in a statement. "They're a pair of old-fashioned entertainers, and I'm looking forward to cutting them loose."

Stonestreet said he is "humbled and honored" to be asked to host the awards while Ferguson said he jumps at any chance to be around Eric.
