Comedy Class

After winning for the past two years, it was hardly a surprise that Modern Family won the Best Television Comedy Ensemble trophy. But it was a nice touch when star Jesse Tyler Ferguson made a point of giving credit to two of Family's fellow nominees. ''I think we'd be doing the evening a great disservice if we didn't mention the brilliant departing casts of 30 Rock and The Office,'' he said in a gracious acceptance speech. ''You all have set the comedy bar so high, and if we can just be half as brilliant and smart and wonderful as you are, then we've succeeded.''
