The video – in which Stern makes multiple comments about Vergara’s breasts – has since resurfaced online
A resurfaced Howard Stern interview with Sofia Vergara has caused backlash online after the host made inappropriate comments about the actress.
In a video shared on Reddit, the broadcaster can be heard commenting on Vergara’s chest, and attempting to speak in Spanish during an episode of his show.
“I was trying to tell her I have a big penis but I think I said I have a big burrito,” he said.
Vergara – who was 31 at the time – looked uncomfortable by the comments, before responding: “Thank you very much.”
Stern, 49 at the time, continued, adding: “Believe me, there is no greater man on this planet than me, and if I tell you your chest is attractive, you keep it.
“Your mother gave you the best advice, don’t touch those boobs, alright?”

The interview seemed to go from bad to worse, with Stern then questioning Vergara on whether she chose to breastfeed her son.
“Did you breastfeed your son?” he asked.
“Oh that must have been unbelievable.”
Vergara hit back at Stern, explaining: “That wasn’t unbelievable, I was like 19.”
But Stern continued, adding: “You must have had so much milk right? How much milk? You imagine how much milk was going on?”
Vergara seemed incredibly uncomfortable in the interview, before adding: “No respect here.”
“Oh come on,” Stern replied. “I’m respecting you all over the place.
“That kid must have been fat from eating all that milk. I would love to feed from you.
“If you don’t want to go out with me, at least let me feed from your chest.”
Vergara then pointed out that she wasn’t pregnant, to which Stern said: “Oh, that can be arranged.”

People were left pretty disturbed over the comments, with one person writing on Reddit: “What the actual f**k… And she even told him he was being disrespectful and he just brushed her off and made another gross joke.”
While another added: “I’ve seen too many interviews where people disrespect Sofia, it’s horrible and she always handles it gracefully.”
And a third said: “I really didn’t think it could get any worse after the first thing he said, but man was I wrong.”

Footage of comedian and actor Bill Cosby interviewing Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has sparked mixed reactions after it resurfaced online years later.
Vergara is well known for her role playing Gloria in the hit ABC show, and has even previously earned the title of the highest paid female actor, but her appearance with Cosby came prior to her introduction on Modern Family, when she was promoting the 2003 film Chasing Papi.
Vergara, who is now 50, was 30 years old at the time, and spoke to Cosby as he stood in for television show host David Letterman on The Late Show.
