The cast of Modern Family may be taking a trip to Australia this season, but before that, they will take a much shorter journey to Las Vegas. The episode will feature two familiar faces for comedy fans.
TV Guide reported Monday that Saturday Night Live veteran and Portlandia star Fred Armisen will appear in the show, playing Langham. His character is a former boyfriend of Michell’s (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who goes on the Vegas trip with them and his current partner.
Patton Oswalt, who has been on a roll lately when it comes to guest appearances, will play Ducky Schindler, who leads a group of magicians Phil (Ty Burrell) hopes to join, reports Entertainment Weekly. Oswalt’s recent guest roles includes one on Parks & Recreation, in which he gave an epic speech that went viral.
The episode is going in front of the cameras this week and will air this spring.
Earlier this month, ABC announced that the cast would be taking a trip to Australia, sponsored by Qantas Airlines. The episode will air later this season.
Modern Family airs on Wednesdays on ABC. The show picked up a SAG Award for best comedy ensemble Saturday.
