00:00 Sofia Vergara or Gloria Pritchett? Gloria Pritchett was my character in Modern Family.
00:04 How do you say "Modern Family"?
00:06 How do I say it in English?
00:08 In English, it's like...
00:10 I'm bad at it?
00:11 No, no.
00:12 Oh, because you speak better English than me?
00:14 Yes.
00:15 How many Emmy nominations do you have in the US?
00:19 Sofia Vergara clapping back at a host after he pokes fun at her accent.
00:24 What is there to complain?
00:26 It all went down on a popular Spanish talk show when host Pablo Motos
00:30 mocked the way she pronounced her hit sitcom Modern Family.
00:33 How do you say "Modern Family"?
00:35 How do I say it in English?
00:37 In English, it's like...
00:38 I'm bad at it?
00:39 No, no.
00:40 Oh, because you speak better English than me?
00:41 Yes.
00:42 Ah.
00:43 But Sofia, she was quick with the comeback,
00:47 highlighting her achievements in the entertainment biz.
00:50 How many Emmy nominations do you have in the US?
00:54 How many times did you get nominated for the Golden Globes?
00:57 The Golden Globes?
00:58 Yeah, he's talking to a four-time Emmy and four-time Golden Globe nominee.
01:03 Let's also point out she was the highest-paid female TV actor
01:06 through Modern Family's run.
01:08 You know, it's been an interesting year for me.
01:10 A lot of changes, a lot of good and craziness,
01:15 and bad things happened and good things happened.
01:17 Lots of changes for Sofia, including her split from husband Joe Manganiello
01:22 after seven years of marriage.
01:24 I feel independent.
01:25 I feel that, you know, I don't need to ask anyone for anything.
01:29 Not long after the news broke, Sofia went on living her best life.
01:33 What does a perfect day off look like for you?
01:41 Doing nothing.
01:42 I think like what girls do, I love going with my girlfriends to lunch
01:46 and shopping and, you know, normal things.
01:51 By September, Sofia was back at work on America's Got Talent.
01:54 I can't complain. I mean, I've had a great, great time,
01:59 and I mean, there's always time for more good stuff coming.
02:05 One of those good things coming?
02:06 Sofia's latest project, Griselda, a role she completely transformed for.
02:11 Let's get to work.
02:12 There's a lot of women who leave the man but not the life, I swear.
02:21 I know what I'm doing.
02:23 It was three hours of prosthetics every morning,
02:27 so I hope that everybody loves it because it's very different from Gloria.
02:32 In the Netflix series, the actress plays real-life drug kingpin Griselda Blanco,
02:37 who created one of the most powerful cartels in history.
02:40 After all that I have been through, I'm not going to give it away for nothing.
02:49 Griselda was such a complex person,
02:51 and there are so many nuances to explore in terms of who she was as a drug lord
02:57 and, of course, as a woman, as a mother.
02:59 She was someone who did whatever it took to protect her family.
03:03 At least that's what supposedly she said that was driving her.
03:08 That woman didn't walk like anyone else's girlfriend.
03:11 Well, how did she walk?
03:16 Like the boss.
