After Ellen Degeneres’ prank-scared Modern Family‘s Eric Stonestreet on three different occasions, Stonestreet wisened up on his latest appearance. He decided to bring his two best friends, who took the day off of work, to come and be his bodyguards on Ellen and warn him before a clown or a man in a dog suit could sneak up behind him.
It didn’t work. A clown still managed to scare the crap out of the poor guy, with hilarious results. Afterwards, a bewildered Stonestreet — in near tears — vows, “I’m never coming back. You’ve just lost one of your favorite guests.”
