Interesting..is it hide in plain sight or is he trying to tell us something?

• Good to see Academy Award Winner Broderick Crawford is working again!

  M

• He has been in plain sight for years now.

• I was trying to stop watching MF but I guess I'll watch this episode. I like Matthew Broderick.

• He told Joy Behar awhile back he doesn't have the DVD of his father's series 'Family'

• Would you stop, please. Nathan Lane played a gay character on Modern Family and we didn't hear this sort of silliness about it.

• r5 yeah, because Nathan is gay so no one thought twice about it. So my question pertains to Matthew. Is he also gay or just playing gay on tv? He also appeared in 30 Rock and the closing scene insinuated that he and Baldwin's character were affected by the "gay bomb". So, these "gay" sitcom roles are curious. If someone is trying to shed gay rumors, would they be portraying gay characters on tv or would they avoid those roles? If someone is not trying to deflect those rumors, they are either gay or they are not affected by people's beliefs. I say bravo to that if that's the case. We don't see Travolta or Cruise playing gay characters and there are plenty of gay rumors about them.

  OP

• Has Nathan come out? Isn't he supposed to be dating Bella Abzug?

• It would be more believable if he were playing a horse trainer.

• so original, R8....yawn

• What Betty Broderick is out of prison?!? I LOVE her movies! Can't wait to see her on MF!

• My mother's pussy stinks

  R9

• No it doesn't, but my ass sometimes does.

  R9

• R10 I love you! "Liar, liar pants on fire."

• His performance was terrific. I thought he was gay but after this show, I think not anymore. Funny episode tonight and I loved him and Ty Burrell.

• Matthew should never take his shirt off in public and especially not next to Ty.

• The 1994 me would have been far more invested in that question.

• the man is a saint.....to think what that poor man has endured....

• Matthew looked fugly.

  Meh

• The husband on Modern Family (Phil) comes across as gay anyway. I wonder if they will ever go there?

• He's done gay before. So what?

• it's true. he was michael fierstein's chicken in 'torch song trilogy'.

• He was very funny tonight. Good body for an old guy.

• I lost interest after season 2, that red haired guy and blonde girl were annoying beyond belief. I might try watching again if those two have less face time.

• Even if he is gay, I don't think it's either. He's just doing his job.

• I guess it's modern when married to a horse.

  Neigh-Neigh

• If MB is gay, what about his wife? Is she family too? SJP has never pinged but my lezdar is extremely flaky, so I never know who is and who isn't.

• Cynthia Nixon is lesbian. She is best friends with Broderick's wife.

• R26, SJP and Cynthia Nixon formed "The Drama Department," an off-Broadway company, years ago. They've been friends since around 1982. Cynthia Nixon is lesbian.

• On another note, why does anyone care who is gay or not? Straight or gay, if I know your sexual preference, I already have too much information. Keep it behind closed doors, please.

• [quote] Cynthia Nixon is lesbian. She is best friends with Broderick's wife. Having a gay best friend = being gay?

• When did Matthew Broderick turn into Arye Gross?

• Sick murderer who never even apologized or reached out to the family of the two women he killed.

• It made sense though that Broderick was such a fattie (got dumped a couple of months ago - binge eating! joining a new gym and meeting Phil right away).

• R31, have you seen Arye Gross lately? He looks like a wizened little old man. Broderick, as bad as he looks, looks way better at 50 than Gross does.

• r32 How do you know what he did or did not do regarding his accident? Who is he supposed to apologize to, you??? No one knows what transpired at that time or afterward or what he might have done. If there was an insurance settlement with the victim's family, maybe he would not be allowed or advised against meeting with them. He said in an interview the year after it happened that he had written a note to the son of one of the women killed to say how sorry he was for his loss.

• Who cares if he's gay. No one even remember who he WAS, much less knows who he IS, so why would they care?

• Isn't he the father of that guy who molested Kristy McNichol and Michael J Fox's mother and turned them lez?

• Check the frau at r27-29, she repeats that Cynthia Nixon is a lesbian twice, as if that's news to DL'ers, and then says people's sexual "preference" should be kept behind closed doors. Take your prudish idiocy back to iVillage, dearie.

• R27-29 why visit a gay gossip site? Isn't troll-dar useful?

• LOVE this pic of Cynthia Nixon with Jesse Tyler Furgeson

• It was a funny segment, and Phil's reaction to being kissed was perfect.
