Julie Bowen & More Work Celebrity Phone Bank On National Unfriend Day (VIDEO)

Yesterday was the much-touted "National Unfriend Day," a holiday created by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in honor of eliminating your Facebook friendships with people who clog up your news feed with excessive pleas for attention -- or in Jimmy Kimmel's words, "maybe not save the world, but make the world a little less annoying."

Not only does the governor of California approve of the sentiment, Jimmy Kimmel hired a telethon-style phone bank of celebrities on site to help people with any problems they may have with cutting those Facebook ties. Comedy stalwarts Kevin Nealon and Fred Willard, as well as the very funny Julie Bowen of "Modern Family" were on telephone duty like the concerned celebrities they are.

Check out the clip from "Jimmy Kimmel Live" below to see celebrities volunteer their time for this noble cause.

What the hell is up with Julie Bowen?

How can someone THAT good-looking continue to get better looking all of the time?

I suspect a deal with the devil.

Take a look at Sela Ward sometime: chronologically 50-something but biologically 27.

Agreed. You don't see her name mentioned much ... but she has always been and still remains stunningly beautiful.

You had to bring her up.

You just HAD to bring her up!

Now, I either have to take a cold shower or think about a threesome with Sarah and Bristol Palin.

This is a cause I can def. get behind. I hate when people like one thing at a time, a million times a day so those people end up taking over my homepage. Totally annoying...

Julie Bowen and the rest of the Modern Family cast are all awesome!
Especially Sophia Vergara!

Sophia is drop-dead, jaw-on-the-floor gorgeous of course, but I can enjoy her guilt-free because she has fantastic acting and comedic-timing skills too! She is quickly becoming my favorite part of the show.

GO, JIMMY!!
I must say that I hated Facebook due to the "friends of friends of friends" that ended up on my page. I really didn't care if Leah was "going to wash her hair right now and I cared less that she finished washing it"
I've tried to delete my membership but evidently Markwhatshisname doesn't believe that I should be allowed to leave.

You ThreeToedTerrorBaby Devil! Thank you so much. I will get myself a cold coke and get to work. I don't like feeling that my info still belongs to someone like FB. Thanks!!!!
