“Okay yeah, Jesse pay up—I told you she’d mention in the first 10 seconds,” joked Stonestreet.
Ferguson admitted he sometimes gets “a little nostalgic for the golden days. You know, it’s been a life after a big hit show, it can be nice too, right?”
“I didn’t want to get emotional up here,” O’Neill replied, “but you know what I miss about it most of all?”

“Going to work every day,” answered Burrell.
“The money,” O’Neill quipped in response.
“Is it too early to talk about a reboot?” asked Ferguson, before joking. “They made me park a mile away from here.”
In 2022, Ferguson confirmed a script was written for a planned spin-off that ABC ultimately scrapped.
“The script’s out there and it’s very good,” he toldEntertainment Tonight. “So, you know, who knows? If someone wants to produce it, maybe.”
