    It's a friggin' shame Ed O'Neill only ever got nominated for an Emmy. His work on Married With Children alone defined a generation of comedy and to top it off, he managed to make people forget Al Bundy when he played Jay on Modern Family for another 11 years. The man is a veteran who has longevity and range, he deserves all the accolades.
  • @jcoptimus
    Four touchdowns in a single game for Polk High. What a legend.
  • Watched Married ... with Children religiously as a kid. The man crushed it; in fact, all actors did.
  • @lindzee924
    Youngstown is so proud of Ed O'Neill for giving back his honorary doctorate to YSU, after they hired Bill Johnson. Ed has honor, integrity and love.
  • Don’t let anything distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High Panthers in the city championship game.
  • @doncarr1161
    Ed has spoken his mind when criticized and never given apologies / excuses for his own opinions. A true talent and stand up guy
  • @jspihlman
    Ed is so very funny and comes across as very genuine and friendly.
  • I remember him in a tv reboot of Dragnet, where he played Joe Friday-the Jack Webb role, and he fit in the role so well. It was either late 90s or early 2000s.
  • 10th kingdom is one of my favorite shows. I rewatch it all the time. I NEVER recognized him. His voice must have been disguised. Gosh, I love that show.
  • @dyskover
    Refreshing to see a humble man.
  • @Max-zg2ci
    I’ll always think of Ed as the football coach from Little Giants, so many of my friends dads were like that and he made it okay to laugh at adults like that.
  • @Styphon
    Thanks for your stance on YSU!
  • @guleri
    Every time I see Ed O'Neill I only think of Al Bundy, but seen him in some other roles as well and I think he always deliver. He should really get an honorary Emmy or something.
  • @haunted_doll88
    Al Bundy has turned from curmudgeon to your favorite, loving grandfather type. 🥰
  • Seth is such a great interviewer. He hits it off with everyone. Such a pleasure to watch. Thanks Seth!
