Harrison Ford roasted Conan OBrien on a recent episode of the Conan OBrien Needs a Friend podcast after the Star Wars and Indiana Jones icon discovered OBrien had Han Solo written down in his notes for the interview. The two men were playfully arguing about Fords ancestry, which led OBrien to consult some info he had jotted down prior to the interview.
I refer you to this piece of paper right here, OBrien said. That says, Born and raised in Chicago to an Irish German father'
Ford leaned over to take a look at OBriens notes and then interrupted the host when he realized they included a reminder that Ford played Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise. Along with Indiana Jones, Han Solo is Fords most iconic character.
Well if thats a quality of your research, and I imagine it is because right there it says Harrison Ford and then you had to write Han Solo,' Ford said. You cant fucking remember that?
No I cant. I cant remember Han Solo, OBrien hilariously fired back. I wrote it down because I heard that you were in some of the Star Wars films, and this was news to me because Ive seen those films and I dont exactly think that you pop.'
OBrien continued, Im sorry. But I mean, I remember Chewbacca, I remember the bad guy with the black helmet and then theres some people.
Ford took matters into his own hands, asking OBrien, How come youre not still on television?
Fords dig was brilliant enough to send OBrien down memory lane. You came on my show many many times, on the Late Night show, he told Ford. And over the years people would say, Whos one of your favorite guests? And I would say, Harrison Ford, because hes so goddamn funny. You are so hilariously funny and you tossed me around like a rag doll, verbally, on these shows, and theyre some of my favorite segments of all time. You are a hilarious man and Ive always loved being around you.
You guys wrote some great stuff, Ford replied back to OBrien. I dont remember any of it.
Fords appearance on the Conan OBrien Needs a Friend podcast was his latest stop on the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny press tour. The adventure tentpole, which marks Fords last outing as the iconic archeologist, is now playing in theaters nationwide.
