'Modern Family' stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet prank each other
They got help from none other than Jimmy Kimmel.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson recently teamed up with Jimmy Kimmel to pull off an epic prank against Eric Stonestreet -- or at least that's what he thought.
The "Modern Family" co-stars appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday night and discussed their prank history -- recalling some of the times Stonestreet, 48, has given Ferguson, 44, throughout their 11 seasons on the beloved ABC sitcom.
Ferguson said he believed Stonestreet "only does it to me because he loves me" and jokingly said that's what he tells himself about his TV husband and pal.
For the latest battle in their prank war, Ferguson, with Kimmel's help, planned to move Stonestreet's trailer with a forklift and spray him with confetti.
All that said, the talk show host, 52, had been working with Stonestreet the entire time and they had disguised an earthquake simulator to look like Ferguson's trailer. Watching the tables get turned on Ferguson is priceless -- as is Stonestreet's reaction.
In addition to showing off their April Fool's Day prank, which was filmed before social distancing went into effect, the two TV stars encouraged viewers to SAG-AFTRA's COVID-19 Relief Fund because, as Kimmel pointed out, not all actors are financially secure.
"People think all actors are wealthy, and that's absolutely not true," Kimmel said. "There are many actors who are just barely getting by, and this is a fund to help those people out."
The series finale of "Modern Family" airs Wednesday, April 8, at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
