Jesse Tyler Ferguson Tried to Track Down a Pair of Yeezy Sneakers With Kim Kardashian's Help

It turns out that being well connected in Hollywood doesn't always pay off. During a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jesse Tyler Ferguson told a hilarious story about how he tried to track down a pair of Kanye West's Yeezy sneakers as a birthday gift for his husband, Justin Mikita. "They're very expensive. They're hard to find," Jesse said. "I happen to know one of the girls who's on the Kardashian glam squad, so [she] was literally on the phone with Kim Kardashian and I was like, 'I need a size 11 of this snow-white-gray sneaker.' And she's like, 'OK, Kim's going in the back room and seeing if she can find that.' Literally Kim Kardashian is looking for these shoes for me. And they come up dry. And they're like, 'OK, we're going to call Kourtney next.' And it was literally the Kardashian clan looking to help me find shoes for my husband. I ended up going on eBay. They couldn't even help me out." Watch the hilarious clip above, and then check out Jesse getting a scare from his Modern Family husband.
