Right now the producers of 'Modern Family' have no idea how many people watch our show each week on all platforms, and nobody seems to want to tell us. If a disproportionate number of any show's viewers watch in alternative ways, then, under the current system, that show may not appear to be as strong as it actually is.

I really have no idea what they're doing because I've only been here for a week,

Y'all have no idea how many times I say, 'Yes, ma'am.'

This was premeditated, ... It's part of what we're calling multiplatform mania. The idea is to attack viewers from a number of different platforms so we can get behind the talent in a 360-degree way. People get their media and entertainment now from so many different places -- for us, this is a great way to market and build awareness for someone.

When people ask me exactly how much time I spend in each country, I always tell them I have no idea.

I think that people with differing points of view find common ground in 'Modern Family' is very flattering, and I'm appreciative of that.
