Sofia Vergara and Kevin Hart provided a great treat for fans who watched their funny interaction on The Graham Norton Show.

Kevin Hart and Sofia Vergara appeared together on The Graham Norton Show in January 2024, and captured fan’s affection with their dynamic and undeniable chemistry. Both Vergara and Hart have a history of memorable interviews, albeit not always for the right reasons.

In an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, also in January 2024, Vergara famously told the musician host to “shut up.” The awkward moment came after Clarkson commented on her guest’s appearance. Around the same time, Vergara made headlines again for her sharp response to a Spanish talk show host who mocked her accent.

On his part, Hart sat down for a late-2023 interview on Hot Ones with Sean Evans. The conversation quickly went viral, amassing more than 13 million views on YouTube within two months. Although it was classified among “the worst” Hot Ones interviews by fans, the engagement it received demonstrated Hart’s pulling power.

Given their propensity to make waves in interviews, whether through bold confrontations or viral moments, pairing the comedian and Sofia Vergara on Graham Norton was bound to be magic. Fans were not disappointed.

What Happened Between Kevin Hart And Sofia Vergara On The Graham Norton Show?

The interaction between Kevin Hart and Sofia Vergara on The Graham Norton Show was captivating from the get-go. Host Graham Norton first introduced the actress to great applause, but the atmosphere became truly electric when Hart joined her on the couch. He immediately asked her in a jesting manner to scoot down, to which Vergara humorously retorted, “I can’t believe I have come all the way from the United States and you have to be here too.”

The conversation soon turned to Hart’s guest appearances on Modern Family, the hit series that catapulted Vergara to fame. He reminisced about playing Andre, an orthopedic surgeon and neighbor to the Dunphy family, in two episodes during the show’s third season. Vergara said, “[Being on Modern Family was] one of my favorite things to do in the whole world because it was like going to work with my family, it was amazing. And the day that [Kevin] went, I wasn’t there, so it really doesn’t make any difference to me.”

Hart would later shift attention to Vergara’s versatility as an actress, particularly highlighting the stark contrast between her beloved character Gloria on Modern Family and her role in the Netflix mini-series Griselda.

“I think the world is gonna be in for such a treat,” Hart said. “[Sofia’s] so dope on so many levels. But when you get to shock the world that followed you for 11 years as one character [and then] you get to come out this dark [in the new show], you get to learn that that’s who she really is!”

Sofia Vergara And Kevin Hart Were Promoting Individual Projects On The Graham Norton Show

While it is their hilarious exchange that made headlines, Sofia Vergara and Kevin Hart were on The Graham Norton Show to talk about their latest projects, both of which had made their debut on Netflix in early 2024. Vergara came to discuss her mini-series, Griselda, a biographical crime drama that she not only produced but also starred in. Directed by Andrés Baiz and produced alongside Eric Newman, the six-episode story tells the gripping story of one of Colombia’s most notorious drug lords.

About Sofia Vergara’s Netflix Mini-Series Griselda

• Based on a true story.
• Debuted at number one in 89 countries and topped Netflix’s Global Weekly Top 10 TV (English).
• One season, six episodes.
• 88% of 49 critics’ reviews of the series are positive on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 6.8/10 (as of January 2024).

Vergara shared, “This is an idea that I got like 15 years ago. This was actually a real story of a woman… one of the biggest drug dealers that ever existed in Colombia. And she was able to do it for a long, long time because she was a woman, and nobody was suspecting [of] a woman creating these insane cartels.” She expressed a personal connection to the project, explaining how her accent had made it challenging to secure roles in Hollywood, and how Griselda was a role she could embody more seamlessly.

Hart, on the other hand, was promoting Lift, a heist comedy film directed by F. Gary Gray. In the movie, he played a master thief who, alongside his Interpol Agent ex-girlfriend, attempts to steal $500 million in gold bullion aboard an A380 passenger flight.
