“Never seen you on Tinder,”; Stonestreet jokes to DeGeneres. “You must not be in my geographical area. Anyway. But now I’ve done Bumble and I’ve tried this other one and the way I justify it, Ellen, is I shouldn’t be, because I’m on TV, I shouldn’t be eliminated from participating from what’s going on in the world.”;

He adds: “But people are always like, “I can’t believe you’re on a dating app.’ It’s like, well you know, I very rarely meet people because I get nervous.”;
