Sofía Vergara Wants to Revisit ‘Modern Family’ and Suggests Doing a ‘TV Movie’; She Jokes to Ed O’Neill: ‘Don’t Die’ Before

Sofia Vergara wants a "Modern Family" reboot and suggests a TV movie, saying Ed O'Neill must be alive to do it.

Recently nominated for an Emmy for her lead role in Netflix’s crime drama “Griselda,” the Colombian star revealed in her Variety cover story that she is open to reprising her role as the hilarious trophy wife Gloria Delgado-Pritchett from ABC’s “ Modern Family.” However, there’s one condition: Ed O’Neill, who played her husband Jay on the sitcom, must still be alive to join her. After watching him in the FX miniseries “Clipped,” in which O’Neill portrayed former L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, Vergara says she humorously told him, “You look fucking old.” “That’s what I tell Julie Bowen,” Vergara jokes about her “Modern Family” co-star, who took home the Emmy twice for her role as Gloria’s step-daughter, Claire.
