Five-time Emmy Award nominee Jesse Tyler Ferguson stops by NBC's TODAY this morning, June 2nd to discuss his hit Broadway comedy Fully Committed.

The actor discusses his new play, as well as how he spends his time off from "Modern Family."

Watch the interview with Jessie Tyler Ferguson below!

Five-time Emmy Award nominee Jesse Tyler Ferguson ("Modern Family") is back on Broadway as nearly 40 OUTRAGEOUS characters in this delectably funny one-man show by Becky Mode, directed by Tony-nominated director Jason Moore(Pitch Perfect, Avenue Q, Sisters).

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.
