In this week’s episode of Plot Twist, Tom is joined by Emmy-nominated actor and Tony Award winner Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
A trailblazer in every sense, Jesse became a household name as Mitchell Pritchett on Modern Family, portraying one of television’s first mainstream same-sex couples with humour, heart, and cultural impact that still resonates today.
Since then, he’s continued to evolve, winning a Tony for his role in the critically acclaimed Broadway revival of Take Me Out, and using his platform to champion LGBTQ+ visibility, authenticity, and equality.
As Plot Twist celebrates Pride Month, Jesse reflects on legacy, identity, the surreal experience of being labelled a “gay icon,” and how his journey has unfolded both on-screen and off.
A thoughtful, funny, and quietly powerful conversation with someone who’s helped shift the narrative… and isn’t done yet.
