During Ellen DeGeneres' Halloween episode of her daytime talk show, the comedian donned a Sofia Vergara costume and assumed the star's thick accent.
Ellen starts off the episode saying "Muchas gracias everybody, muchas gracias. Hola! My name is Sofia Vergara and I'm easy breezy beautiful Cover Girl from Colombia. Happy Halloween." Check out the clip below for the whole skit, which involves a fairly obvious special guest on Ellen's show.
The Columbian actress and model began her television career on the international Univision network. After her contract with the Spanish station ended, Vergara signed on with ABC and appeared in such comedies as The Knights of Prosperity and Hot Properties. She currently co-stars in ABC's hit comedy, Modern Family, and has been nominated for 3 Primetime Emmy's since 2010, 3 Screen Actors' Guild Awards, and a Golden Globe for her role as Gloria in the series.
In an interview with Glamour Magazine, Vergara says, "It's so easy for me to play Gloria, it's not like someone who has to play a doctor or lawyer and memorize all these technical words. The writers are brilliant - I used to give them input but now they know me so well they can even write my mispronunciations. They did all the hard work, I just turn up and try to make it funny."
The actress has also appeared in Entourage, The Smurfs, Happy Feet Two, New Year's Eve, and The Three Stooges. She is currently slated to debut in the upcoming films Machete Kills and Fading Gigolo.
