Hyland said working on a comedic show like \"Modern Family\" has also helped boost her spirits.

\"You have to compartmentalize everything, and being at work is just so amazing to me because it's what I love. I've been doing it for 24 years now,\" she added. \"The cast is amazing, the crew is amazing. We're in our 10th season now and most of our crew members have been with us since day one, so I've really grown up with these people.

\"They always can tell when I'm not feeling well,\" Hyland said. \"Even our props guy [will say], 'I'm here if you need anything.' They've been really amazing to me.'\"

On the show, Hyland's character Haley is pregnant with twins. When asked to compare Haley's parenting style to another character on the show, she landed on Claire.

\"I think it would be great for the story line if Haley kind of turns into her mom, because who doesn't turn into their mother?\" Hyland said. \"I feel like that would be amazing to see Haley turn into Claire.\"

As for her dream special guest, Hyland said she wishes Carol Burnett would appear on \"Modern Family.\"

\"She's just one of the mothers of comedy,\" she said.
