“Danny is someone every showrunner and network wants to work with,” said Gary Newman, chairman and chief executive officer, 20th Century Fox TV. “He’s been at Chris and Steve’s side since the first season and plays an incredibly important role.”
Newman continued: “He’s wickedly funny and his scripts are always as relatable as they are hilarious. It goes without saying that ‘Modern Family’ is one of this studio’s most important series, so keeping Danny on this brilliant show as well as allowing him to develop is a tremendous opportunity for us.”
