In a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Sofia Vergara shared amusing anecdotes about Kevin Hart’s cameo on the hit series Modern Family and opened up about the poignant moments during the show’s final season.
Speaking with humor, the Griselda actress jokingly expressed her relief at not having to spend time with Kevin during his guest appearance in 2012. “I was lucky because I wasn’t in that scene,” Sofia quipped, playfully referring to a particular scene featuring her co-star Phil Dunphy.
Despite not being directly involved in that scene, Sofia shared her appreciation for Kevin’s one-episode appearance, emphasizing the joy of working on Modern Family for a remarkable 11 seasons. “It was one of my favorite things to do in the whole world because it was like going to work with my family, and it was amazing,” the actress remarked, highlighting the familial atmosphere on set.
The conversation took a poignant turn as Sofia discussed the “heartbreaking” moment when the original cast bid farewell following the conclusion of the final season. “We were all very, very sad because, you know, it’s the people you want to see every day, and you do get separated when you finish,” Sofia shared, expressing the emotional impact of saying goodbye to her on-screen family.
Adding a unique twist to the tale, Sofia revealed that two weeks after Modern Family wrapped, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. “So, we didn’t see each other. Like really, it was just like, oh suddenly we don’t see each other anymore. It was really hard,” she reflected, underscoring the unforeseen challenges brought about by the global health crisis.
Sofia Vergara’s reflections offer fans a glimpse into the camaraderie and emotions behind the scenes of Modern Family, highlighting both the joyous moments of celebrity cameos and the bittersweet reality of bidding farewell to a beloved show and cast.
