Ferguson, 50, recently welcomed Stonestreet to his Dinner’s On Me podcast, <\/a>where the pair \u2014 who played spouses Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker on the beloved series \u2014 recalled their most hilarious experiences behind the scenes of the sitcom.<\/p>\n While discussing what they “missed most about doing the show,” the pair reflected on a hysterical moment involving the show’s casting director, Jeff Greenberg.<\/p>\n “Craft service. Jeff Greenberg walking into the glass that day. It’s the greatest moment ever,” Stonestreet said on the Jan. 13 episode.<\/p>\n “We taped off his face mark, remember? His face mark lived that whole season,” the 54-year-old actor added.<\/p>\n Upon mention of the on-set gaffe, Ferguson replied through giggles, “I can’t believe that happened. He just walked right towards us.”<\/p>\n Ron Tom\/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty<\/p>\n Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.<\/p>\n According to the pair of actors, while filming season 3, Greenberg walked straight into a glass wall, triggering a fit of laughter from the whole cast and crew.<\/p>\n Ferguson explained that the moment came about because the show’s craft service area,\u00a0which is often in a corner out of the way,\u00a0was built in “this tiny little glass box in the middle of the stage.”<\/p>\n The area featured a kitchen, a coffee machine and a space for people to sit and have a meal, but was essentially “a glass box with doors and windows.”<\/p>\n One day, the whole cast was eating breakfast inside the box when their “brilliant casting director came strutting across the way, walking towards us,” Ferguson recalled, “and face planted into the glass.”<\/p>\n “And we watched it coming from a mile away, and didn’t do anything about it!” Stonestreet admitted through laughter.<\/p>\n He added, “No better person could have walked into that glass in that moment than Jeff.”<\/p>\n The cast instantly knew the comical mishap would be a core memory. “His face print was still on the glass, so we blue-taped his face print, and it just lived in memoriam for months,” Stonestreet said.<\/p>\n David Livingston\/Getty<\/p>\n Jeff Greenberg.<\/p>\n![\"Ron](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2d0b4250d8e1f90a0dc2c566d9a87283.jpeg\"\/)
