My mom has this ugly Santa ornament, and one year, I took it off the tree and clipped it to her pillow. We've been trading it back and forth ever since - 16 years now.

I like fresh and clean. I don't ever want anyone to smell me and say, 'Oh that guy is wearing a lot of cologne.' I want people to smell me and say, 'You smell really good!' I think there is a difference. Eric Stonestreet cleancolognedifference share on social
My job was to give 'The Secret Life of Pets' production team lots of options when it came to Duke. So that's what I always tried to do. Eric Stonestreet dukegivejob Change image and share on social
My dad had a retail business in Leavenworth, Kansas, and there's a whole bunch of prisons there, so it was a backdrop of my childhood, these ominous prisons sitting off the road. Eric Stonestreet backdropbunchbusiness Change image and share on social
