Ferguson had only moved to New York City the year prior.
How have you been?
I haven’t seen you in a while!'"
Ferguson recounted to Krakowski when she guested on his podcast,Dinner’s on Me With Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
“And you give me a great big hug.
Meanwhile, I’m thinking, ‘I do not know this woman.’
I mean, I know who you are.
I was a fan.
And I had already, like I’d been a fan of yours sinceGrand Hotel.”
Where do we know you from?’
And you’re like, ‘Well, I don’t know.
I’ll figure it out later, but it was good to see you.
Thanks for coming.’
And I was just sort of speechless."
“I was very touchy feely,” Krakowski quipped in response to the memory.
Ferguson left the encounter feeling verklempt, but still utterly befuddled by how Krakowski recognized him.
The answer finally came a few days later while Krakowski was on her coffee run.
“I was very taken by the encounter,” he finished.
“You went right into like, ‘How are auditions going?'”
I had such high dreams and hopes for myself.
I have such fond memories of you before I ever really knew you."
