Ferguson’s Halloween Nightmare with Glee Cast
On Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, Dinner’s On Me, Jesse Tyler Ferguson revealed how he was “really traumatized” during a haunted hayride with the cast of Glee. The incident occurred when Ferguson joined the Glee cast, at the time one of the hottest musical comedy-drama shows, for an annual Halloween haunted hayride in Los Angeles. The star, known for his beloved “Mitchell Pritchett” character on Modern Family, emotionally broke down when the young cast decided to further extend their adventure to the corn maze. Even with assurances from his husband Justin Mikita and Glee’s cast, Ferguson found the prospect too petrifying to take on.
Recollections and Laughter Years Later
Almost two decades since the hayride incident, Ferguson and Jeff Hiller were able to laugh about the encounter.

Despite the Glee stars’ enthusiasm, Ferguson refused to proceed into the corn maze, causing amusement among his companions. The experience, although distressing for Ferguson, clearly forged an unforgettable memory of the camaraderie between the Modern Family and Glee casts.
