It just kept happening back to back though. Like every time she goes on there you do this? I would feel uncomfortable for her.

You know what is funny, that Ellen mispronounced Vergara's last name, and after that she spent the whole interview laughing about her.

I remember that I saw those interviews and I thought: WTF?? You just mispronounced her last name and you have the guts to make fun of her !!.
However, neither Ellen nor Sofia has reacted to this video clip being circulated on the internet and fans expressing the actress might have been upset with this dig taken at her accent on the chat show.
