Jesse Tyler Ferguson is looking forward to becoming a dad for the first time, but he admits to "superstar mom" Kelly Clarkson that he has no idea what he's doing! Jesse also dishes that while he's excited about this next chapter, he's very sad to see "Modern Family" end this season. He reveals that he's already cried multiple times on set thinking about the end -- when he lets himself think about it at all, that is.

Watch the interview from "The Kelly Clarkson Show" below!

The Kelly Clarkson Show is daytime's newest destination for humor, heart, and connection, featuring music sensation and America's original idol, Kelly Clarkson.

Ferguson made his Broadway debut at the age of 21 as "Chip" in George C. Wolfe's revival of On the Town.
