This week Julie Bowen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The two made a bet: whoever won a foot race around the studio would take over the other’s Twitter account. Julie Bowen lost, and the world won. Kimmel took full advantage of piloting Bowen’s social media account.
We happen to know firsthand that the real Julie Bowen is as cordial and engaging on Twitter as you’d expect. She graciously acknowledged her UnderScoopFire Wife Pretty Hall of Fame induction with hilarious self-deprecation last year:
@SharePointJoe Deeply flattered, but they would vote me "wife heinous" if they saw me at 6am. #thetruthhurts

One of the “real” Julie Bowen’s tweets as soon as she returned:
Just found out what DTF means from my tv daughters. #speechless
— Julie Bowen (@itsJulieBowen) January 24, 2013
Kimmel asked Bowen if this could be a “weekly thing” to which Bowen quickly replied “no.”
Saw this on Kimmel the other night and immediately thought of USF and the WPHOF. Hilarious. #DTF
These are SO funny. She must have been mortified. What a good sport.
Kimmel is great. He and Conan are the only late night guys worth a shit
I agree. I’d put Fallon in there too though, and I’ll always love Dave. Sooo it’s really just Leno that blows
