, tributes have poured in from all over the world.

“Modern Family” executive producer Steven Levitan shared withEarly in the run of Modern Family, I got a call from our show’s publicist asking if I’d be willing to do a Saturday photo shoot for one of the trades. “Saturday?,” I complained. “I try to spend Saturdays with my kids.” She continued, “It would be with Eric Stonestreet, Dick Van Dyke and Carl Reiner.” My eyes went wide. “F— the kids. I’m not even sure they’re mine.

From the first time Rob tripped over that ottoman, I wanted to be a comedy writer. Never mind that, living a world away from Hollywood, I might as well have said I wanted to be an astronaut . My dad’s office had an adding machine; I wanted to work in an office with a dartboard and a piano and people who’d make me laugh. I wanted to have dinner parties where everyone would get up and perform. At my parents’ dinner parties, at best, maybe someone would have too many martinis and fall down.

It was also daring. Rob accidentally dying his hands black right before he has to accept a racial sensitivity award must have raised quite a few eyebrows back in the early sixties. And, after Rob Petrie becomes convinced that his baby was accidentally switched at the hospital, I’ll never forget the moment that Mr. and Mrs. Peters walked in the door, resulting in one of the biggest, most authentic laughs I’d ever heard on television.

The Saturday photo shoot took place at Mr. Reiner’s house in Beverly Hills. As I walked up the front lawn, I couldn’t have been more nervous. I thought of the night my wife went into labor with our first child and how I laid in bed practicing putting on my hat the way Rob Petrie did the night Laura gave birth to Richie.
