The "Modern Family" patriarch told Ellen an unbelievable story that proves he is the worst at recognizing celebrities in the wild. Plus, he talks about a possible 10th and final season of the Emmy-winning sitcom.

The reason i love modern family is because they dont have the fake laughing added in the show :)

Can everyone no matter how famous just introduce themselves?

He once scored 4 touchdowns in game. Living legend. Hall of famer.

Casually talks to Britney Spears, Micheal Jackson, and Taylor Swift without knowing who they are

i love that MJ called him "Mr O'Neill". it's the little things like that that remind me how sweet and respectful MJ was.

Ed: So I talked to Michael Jackson and didn't know it til after. Ellen: Oh, that's sad.

Ed is so chill...you'd think he wasn't talking to millions of Ellen viewers...he talks like he's hanging-out in someone's living-room.

His stories are great. He should write a book.

Imagine rushing Michael Jackson off the phone 😂 I wouldn’t be able to live with myself after that lol

Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

I'm sure Ed woulda recognized Taylor Swift if she had scored four touchdowns at the Polk high championship game. 🤣

How do none of these people introduce themselves to him by name? Hello, Manners!

I have this EXACT same issue. Seeing co-workers outside of work, I end up doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out who they are. I know I know them but they aren't where they usually are so it screws with me completely.

C'mon Ed, everyone can recognize Michael Jackson's voice my man!

Al Bundy, the funniest character in the history of television. I bow to you Ed O'Neil. You are a legend.
