Sofia Vergara Reports Live From The Hunger Games, Takes on Fran Drescher on Saturday Night Live
It's no secret Sofia Vergara has a ton of sex appeal, and the Modern Family star made sure to play that up during her first hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, cracking a few jokes about her thick Colombian accent while she was at it.
"You might have noticed I have a bit of an accent sometimes," Vergara said after hitting the stage in a skin-tight, cleavage-baring bustier dress. "I love it. This accent makes anything sound sexy. Listen, ‘gonorrhea, New Jersey, Rick Santorum.' So, tonight, please forgive me if you cannot understand what I say, and I will forgive you for staring at my chest the whole night."
And after waving to her son Manolo in the audience (and her young-looking fake grandparents) it was on with the show.
Are Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis Really Leaving SNL?
Say it ain't so!
We know that at some point, the time will come when we'll have to say sayonara to some of our favorite Saturday Night Live comics, just like we did with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon.
But could that time come really soon for Kirsten Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis?!
First Look at Sofia Vergara's Saturday Night Live Promos! Will She Be Better Than Lindsay?
Modern Family's Sofia Vergara hosts Saturday Night Live this weekend and her onscreen son, Rico Rodriguez, has just one teensy-weensy concern:
"I don't think she knows how to read a teleprompter!" he tells us. "But that's OK because she's Sofia. She doesn't even have to say anything to keep people entertained."
True dat. After all, just look at her! A "marvel of modern architecture" as Julie Bowen puts it. Plus, she's one of the most respected female TV comedians around, so she's gotta nail it...right?
Take a look at these new promos to see how Sofia fares at ad-libbing in the SNL arena...

Was Adrien Brody Banned From Saturday Night Live?
How dare Adrien Brody improvise on a sketch comedy show!
Rumors have been circling the Internet saying the actor was banned from hosting Saturday Night Live after his Rastafari character continuously ad-libbed, against producer Lorne Michaels wishes.
Is it true?
Weekend Wrap-Up: Halle Berry Engagement Confirmed, Marie Osmond Laughs Off Accident
This weekend we added Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez to our list of celeb weddings we can't wait to see, after the Unfaithful star confirmed rumors that the couple is set to tie the knot.
But, just in case you missed the engagement announcement, Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbie Kristina talking to Oprah Winfrey or Prince Harry running in Rio, don't worry.
We've got all the details on that and more, right here.
Jonah Hill Pokes Fun at His Oscar Nom, Acts Like a 6-Year-Old on Saturday Night Live
If you were hoping for Brad Pitt to make an appearance during Jonah Hill's second hosting stint on Saturday Night Live…you're out of luck.
But the 28-year-old Moneyball star did team up with an A-lister during his opening monologue, right after he busted his own chops about his Oscar nom (and subsequent loss to Best Supporting Actor winner Christopher Plummer).
So, which celeb hit the stage to poke a little fun at Hill too?

Mariska Hargitay Talks Hosting Saturday Night Live: I'm Funnier Than You Think!
Listen up, Saturday Night Live!
We think it's time you let Mariska Hargitay host!
As we first told you last month, Hargitay's Law & Order: SVU costar Ice-T has started an informal campaign to land her the coveted gig. We even started a Twitter campaign (#mariska4SNL) to help him out.
But does TV's toughest-ass detective even want to do it?
So True? So False? Did Tina Fey Skip Saturday Night Live to Avoid Lindsay Lohan?!
Lindsay Lohan's latest appearance on Saturday Night Live didn't have to peak with that Real Housewives of Disney sketch.
It turns out that Tina Fey was scheduled to guest star on this past weekend's episode, which marked Lohan's fourth time hosting and first time in almost six years, but—as seen on TV—Fey didn't make it.
Is it possible the 30 Rock star had reservations about working with her former Mean Girls protégée? Doesn't sound like a very Liz Lemony, girl-power thing to do. Well, hang onto your bags of Sabor de Soledad, because that rumor is...
Afternoon Mail! Are Lindsay Lohan's Vices Making a Comeback Too?
Dear Ted:
Just watched Lindsay Lohan's Saturday Night Live appearance and the best I can say is that it was very nice of Lorne Michaels to give her a shot. Lindsay was awful, the skits were awful, and her face...can we now officially call her comeback DOA? Apparently, she did peak at Mean Girls. And what's up with her Vices, a thing of the past or still active?
—XXOO
Dear Mean Girl:
Aww, c'mon. LiLo was hardly the worst host the show has ever had. And that fact that she was on time, had practically zero complaints about her work ethic and seemed to actually be sober will definitely help her cause, whether you thought the final product was funny or not. As for the Vicing, that's hardly retired either.
Dear Ted:
Does Twyla Babe-Sucker or Terry Tush-Trade have the better career right now? Who has the better more settled personal life right now?
—Sincerely, Nosey Nellie
