In the Modern Family episode “Kids These Days,” Haley (Sarah Hyland) has a bad day at work with her boss Nicole Rosemary Page (Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino), owner of the lifestyle blog NERP. (If this sounds like a send-up of Gwyneth Paltrow’s controversial, highly successful lifestyle brand GOOP, you may be on to something!) Haley’s perky and perfect co-worker Madison doesn’t help. Good thing Haley (Sarah Hyland) has her mother Claire (Julie Brown) to turn to for advice.
Madison on Modern Family is portrayed by Margaret Judson. She most recently played adult film star Heather in the HBO series The Deuce with her acting idol Maggie Gyllenhaal. (Judson wrote an op-ed piece in The New York Times about playing an adult film star in the #MeToo era.) Judson is also recognized for her debut role as Tess Westin on HBO’s The Newsroom (which is worth your time, SEE LINK ABOVE). Modern Family airs Wednesdays at 9 pm on ABC, right after American Housewife and right before Single Parents.
