Moret was taken into hair and makeup, wardrobe and rehearsal. The show, which has been on the air for more than four decades, is a well-oiled machine and Moret was nervous he would get something wrong.

He turned to veteran actress Mishael Morgan, who stars as Hilary Curtis on the show, for a pep talk who said the key to the whole process is knowing the lines.

In Moret’s big scene, one of the main characters has just announced he's started drinking again, prompting the Inside Edition reporter to ask: “Are those issues related to your son Devon marrying your former wife. Did that drive you to drink?"

The episode featuring Moret will air Wednesday, June 1.
