It's a Thanksgiving jamboree in the upcoming episode of ABC's hit comedy series "Modern Family" season 8.

Titled "Thanksgiving Jamboree," the seventh episode will see the families celebrate yet another fun holiday. According to the official synopsis, the Pritchett-Tucker home will be the venue for this year's Thanksgiving jamboree and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) has spared no expense. As Phil (Ty Burell) tries to get used to the idea of Rainer Shine (Nathan Fillion) dating his daughter, Hayley (Sarah Hyland) finds it difficult to tell her dad that she would rather spend her holiday with her new boyfriend instead of staying home for the traditional family football game.

At the Delgado-Pritchett home, Jay (Ed O'Neil) has to find a way to keep his blood pressure down during one of the most stressful days of the year. Gloria (Sofia Vergara), on the other hand, tries to make Joe (Jeremy Maguire) realize that animals are supposed to be treated as friends. Alex (Ariel Winter) and Dwight (David Cross) get closer to each other than her Uncle Cam initially expected, while Mitchell (Jesse Tyler-Ferguson) forces himself to tell Cam the truth.

On another note, a new guest star for season 8 has been recently announced. The former Dr. Frasier Crane is heading to "Modern Family," as veteran actor Kelsey Grammer has been tapped to play a role in the hit sitcom. As noted by TV Line, the five-time Emmy winner will portray Keith, a circus ringmaster and Cam's former boyfriend.

Details on how he will cross paths with Cam again were not revealed, but they probably met back when Cam was still playing his clown character Fizbo. The casting is certainly not a surprise since Grammer has been friends with the program's creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd for quite a long time. The duo were writers fro "Frasier," and they also worked as co-creators for Grammer's comedy series in Fox titled "Back to You."

Keep tuning in to "Modern Family" season 8 which airs every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
