Jason Winer and Eric Stonestreet are going to be busy outside of "Modern Family".

Eric Stonestreet, our Fizbo and star of The Cam Show has joined the cast of "Bad Teacher", a Jake Kasdan comedy.  The Wrap tells us:


For his part, after a decade of side roles in features including "Almost Famous" and TV shows like "CSI," Stonestreet broke out this past television season on ABC's "Modern Family," playing the cherubic gay son-in-law to Ed O'Neill.


Jason Winer, as you know, has directed around 10 episodes for "Modern Family".  He recently won a DGA Award for his work on the pilot. Now, he is set to direct "Arthur", who originally stars Dudley Moore.  Larry Brezner, Kevin McCormick and Chris Bender are the producers, Scott Kroopf, J.C. Spink, Brand and Nik Linnen are executive producers.

The beloved director of "Modern Family", Jason Winer is nominated in the category Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Comedy Series.  The Directors Guild of America announced the nominees for the 62nd Annual DGA Awards.  Contenders vying for this award include directors of "Glee" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm".  I hope DGA recognizes the people behind "Modern Family".  It is such a wonderful and heart-warming comedy show that started out at the right time and hopes it will continue on for a long time.
