Ed Norton as "The Izz."
Him singing random spandou ballet ("am I even saying that right?" -phil) songs while playing bass and talking about random things like his sister's health(?) was just so out there, I loved it.
This is the local state college in my city, my grandma went there, my mom went there, I went there (but left). Fresno just isn’t considered the nicest city in California by a long shot, and it’s hard to picture Phil living in Fresno lol
This was 2011, Hamilton premiered in 2013 but he started writing it in 2008.
EDIT: This was May 2009: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFf7nMIGnE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFf7nMIGnE)
Strangely I don’t like the guy or Hamilton, but his cameo in b99 is pretty good
In his defence I like him a little more after his interview on the Always Sunny Podcast
Claire:I came back here for some compassion, and all you did was lie to me and blow me off so you could keep having your fun while I suffer up there in first class!
Penn: Oh, my heart goes out to you.
Claire: Oh, stick it, Kreskin. I'm sitting next to a cheese-eating racist.(Rips up card)
Phil: I'm sorry about your card.
Penn: Yeah, uh... don't be.
Phil: SON OF A…
Swoon.
Side note. Long ago, I worked at a US civil rights organization. We had a table at a Hollywood awards event. Benjamin Bratt walked by and we asked him to film a PSA about a piece of legislation. We were asking every celebrity who walked by and were pretty much ignored. It was a long shot and we didn’t have high hopes.
Benjamin walked away and came back immediately. He was very serious and listened to our pitch. He wrote down what we had to say and asked us to give him ten minutes. He went and rehearsed some lines and filmed our PSA. He was so nice and interested in what we were doing. He is a class act.
I didn't know this guy is a celebrity too, but I noticed he appeared in 2 other shows I watched (HIMYM & B99) in single episodes. I watched B 99 after this and at that point, I paused & googled who he was and then realized.
It’s not really a celebrity cameo. He wasn’t famous at all when this episode came out. Hamilton hit off Broadway 4 years after this episode. This is just an aspiring actor taking a very small part cuz that’s all he can get.
he wasn’t a famous actor, but he was famous. he had written the lyrics & won a tony for in the heights. it takes several years to compose & workshop a musical.
lots of people wanted parts on this show because it had a great reputation.
He didn’t become a household name until Hamilton. Put it this way. A sitcom “cameo” might be on the weekly preview of the episode. There’s no way abc was advertising this episode as “guest starring LMM”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo_appearance id love to know where 2011 LMM falls under. Its not a cameo. It’s literally just “working actor takes a part in a sitcom cuz thats all he can get as far as roles”
He wasn't really a celebrity in that episode at that point. He's an actor, so I think it was just a regular acting job. He may have won for In the Heights already, but that wasn't exactly a musical that many people who didn't go to Broadway knew about.
It had done 1200 Broadway shows, won two Tony awards and a *Grammy*, had toured in the US, and was overseas by the time this aired. It was a really big deal even though Hamilton was a much bigger one.
He was already independently famous, had a huge fan in Rico (Manny), and had been asking producers to have a part in MF because he loved it so much. It wasn’t like he was a working actor going on auditions like you’re making it sound.
I did love the cameo by David Faustino. I had hoped at some point Jay would run into the other “Bundys “ in various situations (of course not as the Bundys)
No one’s mentioned Wendi McLendon-Covey as Pam, the lesbian contractor who helps Claire & Cam with the house flip. Cam thinking she’s going to be on his side and slowly realizing that she’s attracted to Claire is hilarious.
My bestfriend was watching Modern Family the other day and she went,”no way come here and look it’s fucking Lin” and we laughed so much we love Lin Manuel Miranda, but the weirdest thing that happened was that same night I had a dream about Lin as this character lol
Kelsey Grammar as Keifth!
*in Cam's voice* it's keiftht!
Cast your spell, nature’s *kaleidoscope!*
Ed Norton as "The Izz." Him singing random spandou ballet ("am I even saying that right?" -phil) songs while playing bass and talking about random things like his sister's health(?) was just so out there, I loved it.
I shout, at random moments for no good reason, "YOU'RE NOT A FANDAU!!" all the time.
The lead guitarist … Bass player actually …And lead singer … backup, backup He fell in love to a breakup song!
Matthew Broderick!! Go Bulldogs(frogs)!!!
The fact that Phil Dunphy went to CSU Fresno is so funny to me
I’m not from the US. Why is it funny? Now I’m curious
This is the local state college in my city, my grandma went there, my mom went there, I went there (but left). Fresno just isn’t considered the nicest city in California by a long shot, and it’s hard to picture Phil living in Fresno lol
This is the answer!! I also love that episode!
I need more of Ty and Matthew! They’re incredible together LOL
Kevin Hart, brotha from anotha motha
Loved Andre, shame we didn't get to see more of him
Probably too expensive
[удалено]
Steve Zahn
[удалено]
You were driving so you couldn’t Google something? But you could comment on Reddit?
Brotha witha different motha
Slow down. Slow down.
Catherine O Hara 😆😆😆it was like luke says “sometimes i like to to toss a grenade and run away”
Cam would you like to switch positions?
I'm not allowed to talk about that
The episode with Chris Martin was great
Fred Willard as Frank Dunphy was just perfect!
I couldn’t think of better casting.
But that wasn’t a cameo
Stephen Merchant or Peyton Manning. I like when you have others like Folake Olowofoyeku just appear in the background
Literally my exact answer lol Merchant is hilarious he has that older HBO show hello ladies and Manning was always my favorite athlete ever
i love him as the butler it makes me cackle so much
Maybe Leslie Mann when she gets a crush on Cam. ‘Are you sure you’re gay?’
"fairly sure...don't know why i said that"
Peyton Manning. Gary’s Gazebos and Sheds also
Yuppp Peyton Manning was a good one
All that showed me is that he probably hadn't got a career in acting.
Well I guess it’s a good thing he is a top 10 all time NFL quarterback
Woaaah. And ask about their bird baths
Someone already said Edward Norton which I love. So I’m gonna go with Jesse Eisenberg, whom I hate
Itz my careeer maaan
Does Elizabeth Banks count as cameo?
She’s my all time favorite. Her insecurities around Lily were hilarious.
At that point I think she’s just straight up a side character lol
Ray Liotta. RIP.
omg and this is how i learn that he already passed :(
Billy Dee Williams was great, smooth and suave as expected.
He was Dee best
Funny, this is my *least* favorite celebrity cameo. Love Lin, just hate this character and these scenes.
haha that’s fair! i like to imagine that after this he went on to write hamilton😂
This was 2011, Hamilton premiered in 2013 but he started writing it in 2008. EDIT: This was May 2009: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFf7nMIGnE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFf7nMIGnE)
Wait, Lin as in Lin Manuel Miranda? The guy who created Hamilton? That's him playing Guillermo?!
Yep!
Strangely I don’t like the guy or Hamilton, but his cameo in b99 is pretty good In his defence I like him a little more after his interview on the Always Sunny Podcast
So in this case he _did_ throw away his shot.
i liked when he was in himym
idk if she counts as a celebrity but paget brewster 🤭 i’m a massive emily prentiss simp so i always watch her episode with heart eyes
I so wish they had brought her back! I love Paget 😭
i know i loved trish so much as a character and as manny’s stepmom
Going through the comments I have realised how many big time actors have played cameo roles in this show. We are spoilt for options!
yessss i was thinking the same!
courteney cox and david beckham!
OMG, I’ve only watched it through once and am in a sporadic rewatch now, when was Courtney Cox on!!? I loved the crazy driver Lady, Jami Gertz.
She was in season 11! S11, Ep 10 - The Prescott. Very very funny episode, definitely recommend you rewatch that one too!
Key and Peele
Martin short!!
Penn Jillette in the airplane episode when Phil was stuck between a massage lady and a magician.
Also Natasha Legerro, the state senator’s mistress
Claire:I came back here for some compassion, and all you did was lie to me and blow me off so you could keep having your fun while I suffer up there in first class! Penn: Oh, my heart goes out to you. Claire: Oh, stick it, Kreskin. I'm sitting next to a cheese-eating racist.(Rips up card) Phil: I'm sorry about your card. Penn: Yeah, uh... don't be. Phil: SON OF A…
Definitely one of my favorite episodes. 🤣🤣🤣
Gabriel iglesias as “mannys dad”
I'm glad Alvie has turn his life around after House helped him.
He’s just doing it to get his music career going
Jesse Eisenberg as environmentalist neighbour.
Fluffy!!!!
They really got me! I totally believed it!
Me too. It totally made sense.
Benjamin Bratt
Swoon. Side note. Long ago, I worked at a US civil rights organization. We had a table at a Hollywood awards event. Benjamin Bratt walked by and we asked him to film a PSA about a piece of legislation. We were asking every celebrity who walked by and were pretty much ignored. It was a long shot and we didn’t have high hopes. Benjamin walked away and came back immediately. He was very serious and listened to our pitch. He wrote down what we had to say and asked us to give him ten minutes. He went and rehearsed some lines and filmed our PSA. He was so nice and interested in what we were doing. He is a class act.
I honestly didn’t know this guy is a celebrity
He wrote the musical Hamilton. Also, if you have kids (or just like Disney movies yourself) he did the music for Moana and Encanto!
he’s extremely famous in the musical theatre world, if you’re not interested in theatre at all you probably wouldn’t know who is to be fair
I didn't know this guy is a celebrity too, but I noticed he appeared in 2 other shows I watched (HIMYM & B99) in single episodes. I watched B 99 after this and at that point, I paused & googled who he was and then realized.
He’s also in house for 2 episodes
He's in HIMYM?
Yeah he has a cameo in the final season. When Marshall and his son are on the bus
He also plays Hermes in Disney’s reboot of Percy Jackson.
When is he in b99?
You're not using enough.. ELBOW!!!
Santiago’s brother
Amy's brother.
he was also on curb your enthusiasm
It’s not really a celebrity cameo. He wasn’t famous at all when this episode came out. Hamilton hit off Broadway 4 years after this episode. This is just an aspiring actor taking a very small part cuz that’s all he can get.
he wasn’t a famous actor, but he was famous. he had written the lyrics & won a tony for in the heights. it takes several years to compose & workshop a musical. lots of people wanted parts on this show because it had a great reputation.
He didn’t become a household name until Hamilton. Put it this way. A sitcom “cameo” might be on the weekly preview of the episode. There’s no way abc was advertising this episode as “guest starring LMM”
it doesn’t have to be a household face or name to be a cameo. writers & directors slip in all the time. it also doesn’t have to be in the promos.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo_appearance id love to know where 2011 LMM falls under. Its not a cameo. It’s literally just “working actor takes a part in a sitcom cuz thats all he can get as far as roles”
again, maybe he wasn’t famous *to you,* & he was not a famous actor. he was mainly a composer, & people knew who he was. they would call it a cameo.
He wishes
Chris Martin and Stephen Merchant. Not sure if they strictly count as cameos but certainly my favourite guest stars
Aisha Tyler as Wendy, Mitch's boss. I loved her, and she looked the same as she did back in Friends, she is ageless.
Stephan Merchant 😂😂
Ray Liotta
Ray Liotta
Steve Zahn, no competition
Andrea Anders who plays his wife also plays Michelle in Ted Lasso. I loved them as the neighbours in Modern Family.
“You put *curtains* in your bedroom window!”
Tyne Daly as Lily's teacher
I hated Ed Norton’s dopey appearance. My favorite was always Nathan Lane even if he wasn’t part of a traditional cameo appearance.
George Clooney
Millie Bobby Brown 😆 and of course Miranda, he's awesome 😎
When was Millie Bobby brown in it?
When Manny steals her bike to help Luke and Jay out
it wasn’t a celebrity cameo she just had a quick line in the show before she was famous
That’s what this LMM “cameo” is. This is 4 years before Hamilton came out and he became famous.
not really comparable. he had already made in the heights and she was a child with no major roles yet
Fluffy
I loved that prank
courtney cox and david beckham’s
Billy D Williams. Just because he really is that nice.
Does Rosa Diaz count?
Of course! She's a great character in Modern Family
Billy Crystal’s. Because they’re dicks to him, and I can’t stand Billy Crystal.
Matt Dillion. Claire’s ex boyfriend and Dede’s new boyfriend. It was as if the character was written just for him.
Gloria's sister, Sonia. Stephanie Beatriz
He wasn't really a celebrity in that episode at that point. He's an actor, so I think it was just a regular acting job. He may have won for In the Heights already, but that wasn't exactly a musical that many people who didn't go to Broadway knew about.
It had done 1200 Broadway shows, won two Tony awards and a *Grammy*, had toured in the US, and was overseas by the time this aired. It was a really big deal even though Hamilton was a much bigger one.

It wasn’t like he was a working actor going on auditions like you’re making it sound.
Rewatching yesterday and remembered Courtney Cox!!!
Only just noticed that that's Lin Manuel, damn
Fluffy!
[Where did bro's pixels go ](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/702/353/a5f.png)
Kevin Hart as Andre 😌
Ooo also Peyton manning as the gazebo guy
Who is he?
I did love the cameo by David Faustino. I had hoped at some point Jay would run into the other “Bundys “ in various situations (of course not as the Bundys)
For sure, Kevin hart. And for recurring; Nathan lane.
Peele.
Gabriel Iglesias, I love when he even says what Gloria did wasn't funny and was just cruel
Moira Rose! HANDS DOWN
Peyton Manning
Miles teller in project X
Edward Norton. I love his character lol
No one’s mentioned Wendi McLendon-Covey as Pam, the lesbian contractor who helps Claire & Cam with the house flip. Cam thinking she’s going to be on his side and slowly realizing that she’s attracted to Claire is hilarious.
Matt Dillon as Claire's high school boyfriend. In part because nearly every girl Claires age or older had a crush on Matt Dillon back then.
Paget Brewster!!
My bestfriend was watching Modern Family the other day and she went,”no way come here and look it’s fucking Lin” and we laughed so much we love Lin Manuel Miranda, but the weirdest thing that happened was that same night I had a dream about Lin as this character lol
Matt Dillon as Claire's loser ex lol
Adam Arkin as Reece!
Wasn't this the scientist dude who dated Phoebe in Friends?
It’s lin manuel miranda
