What is the outlook for Nathan Fillions guest stint as a weatherman?
Executive producer Christopher Lloyd gives EW the season 8 forecast.
The City That Never Sleeps is about to get its Phil.
He does at one point say, Is there any more majestic bird than the great American pigeon?'
Hes Phil at his Phil-est.
Jay wants to upgrade the familys Fathers Day celebration.
Jay takes it very, very seriously, says Lloyd.
The families have a history of not showing him the proper respect on Fathers Day, in his opinion.
He goes on and on about it, like, We dont have a song.
He actually goes about trying to compose a little song for Fathers Day.
Its a little bit of everybody disappointing Jay on Fathers Day in a funny way.

Its a little bit of an adventure for her…
Working at this coffee shop, she finds herself a little bit questioning her whole path in life.

NEXT: Why are Phil and Gloria going away for the weekend?
Mitch and Cam are still running the B&B the rental unit they have upstairs, shares Lloyd.
Lily makes a new friend and makes Cam and Mitch think twice about their own views.
Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) is coming into her own, says Lloyd.
They are quick to judge other people, but how entirely liberated are they?
Phil and Gloria go away for the weekend!
(But not like that.)
We do an episode where Phil and Gloria jointly take Manny and Luke on a college tour.
Look for Joe to steal the show.
Or rather, just steal.
Joe [Jeremy Maguire] is becoming a little bit of a more kleptomaniac, says Lloyd.
You wont go long without a Short visit.
Haley is experimenting with a new career path, which is more in promotions, notes Lloyd.
Theres a 100-percent chance of Rainer Shine.
Nathan Fillion will appear in several episodes as a self-important weatherman with whom Phil develops a friendship.
Phil idolizes him and then gets a little jealous when that guy starts lavishing attention on other family members.
Gloria now speaks … Russian?
He likes being the Closet King and shes becoming a little bit better known.
And believe it or not, there is a very reasonable explanation for why she speaks Russian.
