FULLY COMMITTED star Jesse Tyler Ferguson stopped by last night's LATE NIGHT to talk about playing 40 different characters in the new Broadway play. Asked which was his favorite of the many roles, the MODERN FAMILY star jokes, "right now, cause I'm kind of tired, the senior citizen's kind of fun." Later, Ferguson talked about performing 'Our Town" outdoors amidst a ton of helicopters trying to cover Garth Brooks' nearby concert. Watch the appearance below!

Five-time Emmy Award nominee Jesse Tyler Ferguson ("Modern Family," The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) makes his highly anticipated return to Broadway as nearly 40 OUTRAGEOUS characters in the smash hit comedy, FULLY COMMITTED by Becky Mode, directed by Tony nominee Jason Moore (Avenue Q, Pitch Perfect, Sisters). Fully Committed began performances on April 1 and officially opened on Monday, April 25, 2016 on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre. This is a strictly limited engagement through July 24, 2016.

You think you're having a bad day? Meet Sam (Ferguson). He works the red-hot reservation line at one of New York's trendiest restaurants, where the best food inspires the worst behavior. Coercion, petty threats, bribes, histrionics-a cast of desperate callers, all brought to life by Ferguson, will stop at nothing to land a prime reservation, or the right table in Becky Mode's hilarious and delicious comedy. Amid the barrage, Sam has his own problems to deal with. While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can he still manage to look out for himself?

FULLY COMMITTED is based on characters created by playwright Becky Mode and Mark Setlock, from their experience working in the blistering world of the high-end restaurant industry.
