David Faustino, who you are probably most familiar with as young Bud Bundy from Married with Children, has signed on to a guest spot on Modern Family. This is fun, as his former TV father, Ed O’Neil, is on that show! In theory, I would really love to see him appear as a smartass underachiever who constantly gets on Jay’s nerves, all while Jay complains about not wanting to have sex with Gloria and Manny behaves like a promiscuous airhead. Alas, the two won’t even share any scenes together: Faustino will be playing Claire’s “highly successful classmate” at her college reunion. But at least we can imagine Al and Bud bickering over the cold cut tray at craft services. That’s something.
