I mean, literally, you've been on the show for 10 years, and your accent has gotten worse. How is that possible? [LAUGHTER] Well, it's a talent. It really is. I made a commitment with myself that I am going to be Gloria, very thick Latin spoken woman. Big Latin. [INAUDIBLE] Yes, you sure have. It is-- it's gotten worse and worse over the years. I can barely understand you. All right, before the break, we were talking about Sofia Vergara's accent. And who does the best Sofia Vergara? Julie. I thi
nk it's Julie. Julie. Really? Julie. I just do it a lot. It doesn't mean it's good. Let's hear it. It just means that a higher volume of words come out of my mouth than most people. But you have to give me like a topic. Like-- Yes, because it comes natural to her. Yeah, it comes so natural to me. And of course, all I can think of is disgusting things. You know, she said today, she goes, what are you going to wear for Ellen? And I said, you know, I'm going to wear-- she goes, is it cocktail? [LAU
GHTER] No, I'm wearing like trousers. But cocktail? Right, yeah, [INAUDIBLE]. I want to wear something tight and like a Dulce maybe. But it will have fruit on it or flowers, so you know it's for the day. It's not [INAUDIBLE]. And she did. [APPLAUSE] I don't know why it sounds like that. But I did tell her that. And you were right. And is it cocktail? That's one that she always asks. Why would daytime be cocktail? I mean-- Eh, not full length. You know, not black. I don't know I always come here
cocktail. [LAUGHTER] I didn't know [INAUDIBLE]. [INTERPOSING VOICES] This is like a cocktail dress, which is not like a gown, but more like a sporty theme. Right. Is it-- Like what you're wearing. Ed, is this cocktail, Ed? This is definitely cocktail. This is Ed. This is extremely cocktail. [INAUDIBLE] This is going to the supermarket. This is '60s and very comfortable. Yeah, Yeah. I want to show a picture, and I want to see if you know who this is. This is how old? 16? No, 11. Oh. 11? That's Ju
lie. Oh my god. No, that's Julie. That's Sofia. It's Sofia. I saw this, and I was like, let me show you what I was like at 11. You will not mistake us. This is like your son. That's little monkey face. That looks like your son. That's an example. Sofia always gets the funniest last thing. Yeah, I know that's Sofia. It looks like Julie. But why? Do you think I look sexy in that picture? You look beautiful. Yeah, you look-- You just look beautiful. Yeah, your breast contraption fell down though. [
LAUGHTER] It's lower. I'm sure-- well, this is not fair because I was obviously at the photo shoot and she was at the farm. I was at the farm. [LAUGHTER] This is not fair for Julie. Obviously.

It’s funny how they make fun of her accent, when none of them can say her last name properly 😂😂😂😂.

@freakingtv2343

Imagine Ellen going to a Spanish talk show Where every time she goes they laugh at her accent and ridicule her efforts to communicate.

@henryhayes8390

Wonder how many languages Ellen can speak

@lotharholzke2028

Really wish Ellen wouldn’t use “worse” to describe her accent. It’s gotten more pronounced, thicker...please something other than a negative adjective. Her accent is beautiful and her English is fluent, leave her alone.

@anilatarannum

Sofia is an extremely intelligent woman. She knows her accent is what makes her funny and exotic to the Americans. She'll never lose it. Even though her appeal has sooooo much more to it, but the accent is the added bonus.

@davidgalante2750

Did anyone else find Ellens comment about her accent little rude

@Sid-nf9en

Sofia was on her way to become a certified dentist. Most people sitting there aren't even graduates.

@emilycretton2526

She smiles but you can tell that a point of constant humiliation she’s feeling hurt. Disgusted, now let’s see how Ellen speaks in Spanish.

@04steen

Monolingual Americans making fun of people that DO speak foreign languages. How intelligent!

@alexrcastaneda

The "I WAS OBVIOUSLY AT A PHOTOSHOOT AND SHE WAS AT THE FARM" Killed me

@haha.lemons

There is nothing wrong with Sofia's accent so it can't get "worse." That's a very rude thing to say to your guest but Sofia handled it beautifully.

@Seren-di-pi-ty

Her accent hasn't gotten "WORSE", it has gotten "STRONGER".

@emmyemmy6055

Ellen is soo mean she keeps picking on sofia .she just insuted her everytime she come to the show

@MusicaErika

I love Sofia Vergara, she is always herself and so funny!

@burrito5836

Ellen really needs to know the difference,between humour and humiliation

@sofiabulha1902

I want to see Ellen speaking Spanish without a accent...

@anmedia7747

Impressions were on point ! 👏🤣

@ashwithademel1842

Ellen is kinda mean when she bullies Sofia. Every damn interview she brings up her accent like as if its so intolerable. Calm down lady, it's such low hanging fruit for someone who's supposed to be a comedian.

@misaelmoncada835

You're taking about her accent and you can't even say her name correctly so who's wrong here? Its Sofia VeRRRRGARA with R

@lina-ix4lh

Ellen was so rude to Sofia, you don’t say “your accent has gotten worse” you say “your accent has gotten thicker” can’t believe a 13 yo is teaching a 40 yo how to be polite. Oh and I appreciate Sofia’s reaction she kinda took it as a compliment because she knows that her accent makes her even more special so the fact that it has gotten thicker means she is even more special and attached to her country, she’s so intelligent
