Sofia Vergara Pulls Hilarious Hidden Camera Prank on "Ellen"

By Sharmaine Jones

Ellen DeGeneres is notorious for playing pranks on her celebrity guests but Wednesday (November 3) she enlisted the help of “Modern Family's” Sofia Vergara to assist her in a hidden camera trick.
The prank was simply this: send Vergara into “The Mill”, a market on the “WB” lot, and have Ellen – who was sitting in the studio – instruct her what to do and say via earpiece. Sounds simple and not very inventive but we all know that Vergera's heavy accent coupled with Ellen's sense of humor can make for a ridiculously funny prank.

Case in point, Ellen had Vergara acting somber, crying hysterically, crying silently, galloping like a horse, and laughing uncontrollably to practice for a role in a movie entitled “When Dogs are Running and Horses are Silent” based on the book “The Dogs were in Texas When Dogs are Running and Horses are Silent”. Enough said. Just hearing Vergara try to repeat the name of the movie was hilarious not to mention the fact that Ellen had her say “Howdy Yau'll!” in a Texas accent and tell the man at the counter that she's been told she has “junk in her trunk”.

When Vergera was back in the studio – after getting comfortable with a cup of Columbian coffee – she continued her interview where they discussed how difficult it is for not only other people, but for even herself to understand:

“Sometimes I talk and I don’t understand what I've said,” she explained. “I look at the person’s face to see if they understood because I didn’t understand.”

And they went on to try to place a call to Vergera's native Columbia in an attempt to reach the President.  Needless to say, they were greeted with a dialtone and Vergera was jokingly upset with Ellen for “ruining her reputation”.

Vergara was an extremely good sport through the entire day on Ellen practically acting like a crazy person as per Ellen's instructions and going along with the prank call to the Colombian President. Again, both pranks were gut-bustingly funny and as usual, the Colombian bombshell looked absolutely amazing!
