A photo flashed across the screen during the segment that showed O’Neill reprising his role as Al Bundy and Vergara dressing like Peg Bundy as part of a shoot for _The_ _Hollywood Reporter_‘s upcoming list of “Hollywood’s 100 Favorite TV Shows” (due out September 25). _Modern Family_ returns for its seventh season on September 23. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4034691/sophia-vergara-jimmy-kimmel-live-modern-family/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4034691/sophia-vergara-jimmy-kimmel-live-modern-family/"},"headline":"Watch Sophia Vergara Explain Why She Once Found Ed O'Neill 'Very Sexy'","datePublished":"2015-09-15T15:07:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:44.197Z","description":"The Modern Family star was interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night","url":"https://time.com/4034691/sophia-vergara-jimmy-kimmel-live-modern-family/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
