SAG Awards 2024: Modern Family gang reunites and unleashes hilarity

The Dunphy-Pritchetts reunited, if only for a night. Modern Family stars Julie Bowen, Ed O’Neill, Sofía Vergara, Ty Burrell, Eric Stonestreet, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson took the stage together at the 2024 SAG Awards. Their mission? To present the Ensemble in a Comedy Award to the cast of The Bear.

Modern Family veterans fondly recalled their ABC series clinching this category four times before. "This really brings back memories," remarked Burrell. When Vergara mentioned the popularity of her Netflix series Griselda, Stonestreet chimed in jest.
