To which the 51-year-old instantly gave a quirky response, saying, “I say it wrong? Oh, because you speak better English than me? Ah.”
Although the host attempted to normalize the situation, the America’s Got Talent judge interrupted him again saying, “How many Emmy nominations do you have in the United States? How many times did they nominate you at the Golden Globes?”
No wonder Vergara has a point since she has been a four-time Emmy nominee and four-time Golden Globe nominee.
Stepping aside from the feud, the actress previously opened up about her most anticipated OTT debut as the Colombian drug lord in Netflix’s upcoming miniseries, Griselda during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Talking about her character, Vergara described her character as “a complex person.”
“There are so many nuances to explore in terms of who she was as a drug lord and, of course, as a woman, as a mother,” the Emmy nominee explained. “She was someone who did whatever it took to protect her family.”
The actress continues, “I really wanted to explore that from the point of view of, you know, of her being one of the only women in history to have gone as far as she did.”
For now, Sofia wants to come out of the shadow of her Modern Family character, as she noted, “I wanted no one to think of me or my last role. I wanted to get inside her head and really understand her mentality.”
Griselda will start streaming on Netflix on Jan. 25.
