Jesse Tyler Envies Neil Patrick

Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson wants to do everything fellow out actor Neil Patrick Harris does, including hosting the Tony Awards, he tells the New York Post.

"I'm in a place where I might actually bring viewers to the Tony Awards that might not necessarily tune in otherwise -- which is awesome," Ferguson says. "I could use my power for good. But at my core I'm a song and dance man. It's what I feel most comfortable doing. That's where my roots are, that's my first love, it's my home. I've also never been nominated for a Tony, so I think it would also fill that void of being on that stage by myself with that community of people. Basically, everything Neil Patrick Harris does I want to do."
