"I think 'Looking' is wonderful. I think the showrunner on that, Andrew Haigh, is a genius. He also made a film called 'Weekend' that I urge you to go and watch. It's brilliant. I love that show. And I love those two in 'Modern Family.' They are my favorite gay couple in the world. I simply adore [the character] Cam in that."
