It was great! I loved working with Jesse again. Anytime I get to spend time with my Modern Family family\u00a0is special.<\/p>\n
I absolutely second-guessed myself! I get really nervous in these types of situations, so I was already going to second-guess myself on any question, so when it came up, I was worried that it would be too easy to be Modern Family. I made it harder on myself, of course!<\/p>\n
I wanted to compete because not only is the show really fun, but I would get to see Jesse AND compete to raise money for SOSA!<\/p>\n
Jane is so great! She didn\u2019t reach out to me, but she might\u2019ve reached out to Jesse.<\/p>\n
It was absolutely harder! We did a practice round with producers before we went out there, and the practice round had a lot of music I was familiar with. I was actually feeling pretty good about it, and then we started, and everything was older, and there were a lot of TV theme songs which I was NOT familiar with, but I still had a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
I think Alex would\u2019ve wanted to be good at this game, but I don\u2019t think this would\u2019ve been her area of expertise. She probably would\u2019ve studied every possible way, though, so who knows!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s crazy that 5 years have already passed! Wow. I think Alex had a great arc, but I would\u2019ve liked to explore more of her social life. We saw Alex achieve so much academically and professionally, but I would\u2019ve liked to see more of her journey successfully making friends and having healthy, loving relationships that were just for her.<\/p>\n
Oh gosh! I don\u2019t know. Probably nothing like that again, where I go and do like an arc somewhere, but maybe something else like Name That Tune, where I can go on for one day and compete for money for SOSA?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m so excited that Sister\u2019s Grimm is coming out! I recorded that a few years ago, so when I was told that the world was finally going to get to see it next month, I was so happy. I think it\u2019s such a fun, female-centered story where the girls get to kick butt and save the day in this fantasy world, all while delivering really great, important messages for kids of all ages.<\/p>\n
I recently had two movies come out\u2014 POOLS and Don\u2019t Log Off, so both of those are available on streaming, and Sofia The First: Royal Magic is going to be coming out next year! I\u2019ll have some more fun news to share regarding a podcast in the coming months that I\u2019m so excited about as well.<\/p>\n
