'Modern Family' starlet Sofía Vergara appeared on the latest 'Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated). She discussed her increasingly impenetrable South American accent, and how it was her dream to one day marry the dumpy guy from 'Married ... With Children.' And okay -- the rest of the cast of 'Modern Family' was there as well. But we'll be honest: sometimes we only have eyes for Ms. Vergara.

Host Oprah Winfrey asked Sophía why her accent seems to be getting heavier, even though she's been living in America for some time now. The actress replied that she actually does it for comedic effect, and gave an example: "I realized that sometimes it was funnier to say 'YOOOUHH' [rather] than 'you.'" Good point!

Oprah also wanted to know what it was like for Sophía to play "the gorgeous younger wife" on the comedy series. Vergara said that it was "amazing" and put her hand on co-star Ed O'Neill's shoulder, adding that as a teenager, she had watched him as Al Bundy -- the working-class, sexist husband on the classic Fox sitcom. "And I never thought I was going to grow up to marry him!" she said. "I mean, I never dreamed of that in my life."

Mr. O'Neill is not necessarily anyone's idea of a sex symbol -- and it's also true that he's only "married" to Sophía in a fictional sense. Still, he took the praise from the Colombian beauty in his stride, saying that he "always knew" he would one day get with Sophía.

Then, other 'Modern Family' cast members like Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell went on to talk about the significance of their show, its place in history, etc. No doubt all of this was very important, but for some reason, our attention started to wander a bit. Why could that be? For some reason, they just weren't as, um, engaging as Ms. Vergara. (And okay, if you haven't clicked on the links yet, here's one last picture of her.)
