Three cast members of ABC's popular sitcom, "Modern Family" got trapped in a crowded elevator on Friday night, on their way to a fundraiser in Kansas City, Mo., with much hilarity.
Seeming like an episode of the ABC sitcom itself, with cries of "Get us out!", actors Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson were among 15 people who got stuck in an elevator on the third floor of the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center.
Bowen, Stonestreet and Ferguson were in town to headline a fundraiser, "Kids Night Out 3013", for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City.
At first they were a little panicky, yelling for rescue workers to "Get us out!", but for the most part they kept their cool, taking photos, making videos and tweeting from the elevator.
“This is us right now. 45 minutes stuck in this elevator,” Jesse Tyler Ferguson tweeted, including a snapshot of the trio to his followers followed by "Finally made it out of the stuck elevator at the one hour mark. At least the firemen in K.C. are cute."
Rescue workers from the Kansas City Fire Department finally made it from the 40th floor to free the trapped people including the three stars.
While the comedy trio were expected to take the stage at 9 pm, they only finally made it after 10 pm. According to the Kansas City Star, many in the audience thought it was a joke at first when they didn't come on, but unfortunately nearly a third of the crowd left before they finally arrived.
Once they did get on stage, Bowen, Stonestreet and Ferguson joked with the audience in true "Modern Family" style, with Stonestreet ending the night with a warning to the audience not to use the hotel’s elevators.
