Christopher guest movies waiting for guffman and best in show and fred was in anchorman. He was on modern family. He played basically the same character in everything. He was the same guy. Because it always worked. So why would you change it . It didnt matter if the movie or show was good, bad, terrible or great. Fred was always funny. And he was more than just funny. He had a light inside him. You could see a glint of it in his eyes and it made everyone around him happy. I was lucky enough that he agreed to be my guest cohost early on the show.
