We would like to remind you that “Modern Family” will return tonight. ABC will air episode 19 titled “Election Day“.

Plot: The all important election day has arrived and the whole family rallies for some last minute campaigning – Mitch and Cam ride around in a ‘Vote for Claire’ mobile, the Dunphy house is campaign central with everyone manning phones and soliciting votes, and Claire does some last minute interviews — with a few technical difficulties.

Be sure to check out the episode stills if you haven’t, and we will add the captures as soon as possible.

Access Hollywood released a brand new interview during this weekend’s Operation smile event. He talks about his new baby girl. Jesse also joined the interview, and they assured they will be back for the next season. They also talked a bit about the season 3 finale.

“Modern Family” stars Ty Burrell and Jesse Tyler Ferguson had little to say about the cast’s reported requests for raises for the next season of the hit ABC comedy – but fans of the show shouldn’t expect any major shakeups, the actors said.

“Oh, we don’t know anything yet,” Jesse told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush over the weekend at an Operation Smile event in Park City Utah, when asked about the negotiations.

“What’s the status of the show?” Billy asked.

“We’re just letting other really wonderful people take care of that stuff and we just love our jobs,” Ty said.

While they didn’t want to discuss contract negotiations, Jesse said they will all return to the fold.

“We’ll all be back. It’s going to be very smooth,” he said.

In the meantime, the show has the season finale on the way in the coming weeks and Jesse hinted at big things to come.

Ty and his “Modern Family” co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson attended the first Operation Smile – The Smile Ski Challenge this weekend in Part City, Utah to support Operation smile. We only found two photos so far, but we added them both in our gallery.

Celebrities hit the slopes Saturday morning for a good cause.

The event was a benefit for Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that donates correction operations to underprivileged children born with cleft lips and palates. The Smile Ski Challenge was held at The Canyons Ski Resort and raised nearly $200,000, which would cover the cost of more than 800 surgeries.

President of NBC Entertainment, Jennifer Salke, organized the event for a cause that she knows a bit about. Her son, Henry, was born with the condition Operation Smile corrects.

Ty Burrell, of ABC’s “Modern Family,” was at The Canyons giving his support to the organization, and the kids it affects.

“My best friend growing up had a double cleft palette,” Burrell said. “He was the beneficiary of some new surgeries at the time. …So just knowing what it’s meant to him and what it’s done for his life, it’s an amazing thing.”

The Hollywood Reporter is exclusively reporting that the contract negations for the “Modern Family” cast began. So we assume ABC wants a season 4 for the series, which we already assumed. Let’s hope they will officially close a contract deal soon, so we can look forward to the new season!

The ensemble cast makes about $65,000 an episode, but a source says they will ask for $200,000 for season four. Series patriarch Ed O’Neill earns more.

Hollywood is gearing up for what could be one of the toughest — and highest-stakes — TV contract renegotiations in years.

With third-season production on ABC’s top-rated and Emmy-winning comedy Modern Family ending in early March, representatives for the series’ six adult castmembers have begun formulating a plan to negotiate significantly higher salaries with producer 20th Television, according to multiple sources.
