In the episode airing Wednesday, Claire (Julie Bowen) takes Manny (Rico Rodriguez) and Luke (Nolan Gould) to Alex's (Ariel Winter) academic decathlon for the weekend, while Phil (Burrell) attempts to throw together a boys’ night at the house, inviting a fellow Bulldog alum (Broderick) he just met, who is gay.
Broderick said about his character, "I just play a friend [Burrell] meets at the gym and then there's a misunderstanding when we get to his house.”
Matthew Broderick appears in a humorous Honda commercial which looks very familiar. In the ad, Broderick wants a day off, just like his character, Ferris Bueller, from the 1986 comedy, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
The commercial, scheduled to air during this year's Super Bowl, leaked online Monday, and Honda was forced to release the full version on YouTube a week early.

Matthew Broderick is set to reprise his role as the beloved truant Ferris Bueller in a Super Bowl ad this year. Broderick starred in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" 26 years ago!

According to the Associated Press, Carpenter was convicted on charges of receiving stolen property, theft in office and evidence tampering. Carpenter's lawyer has said they will appeal the court's decision.

Carpenter's alleged co-conspirator, Dojack, will face a judge next month.
