Comedian Ellen DeGeneres has
volunteered to play Ann Romney's roommate on the ABC sitcom Modern
Family.
The wife of GOP
presidential candidate Mitt Romney told Entertainment Tonight
that she had a Hollywood crush on Kevin Costner, her guilty pleasures
are eating donuts and cookies, and her favorite TV show is Modern
Family. The Wednesday night comedy features gay couple Mitch and
Cam (played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet), who are
raising their adopted daughter (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons).
The mention
prompted creator Steve Levitan to offer Romney a guest role.
“Thrilled Ann Romney says ModFam is
her favorite show,” Levitan messaged to his nearly 59,000 followers
Tuesday on Twitter.
Levitan also gave a suggestive poke at
Mitt Romney, who is opposed to the legalization of gay marriage.
“We'll offer her
the role of officiant at Mitch & Cam's wedding. As soon as it's
legal,” Levitan tweeted.
On Thursday,
DeGeneres, who is married to actress Portia de Rossi, tweeted: “I'll
play her roommate.”
