Watch Harrison Ford giving Conan O’Brien a, good natured, hard time on Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend when he notices that the host has written Han Solo down in his interview notes stating “You can’t f—ing remember that?”
The duo got into a good-natured argument about Ford’s ancestry, which caused O’Brien to pull out his notes, and they caught the eye of Ford.
“I refer you to this piece of paper right here,” O’Brien said. “That says, ‘Born and raised in Chicago to an Irish/German father-‘” Ford interrupted, “Well if that’s 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.’ You can’t f—ing remember that?”
“No, I can’t. I can’t remember Han Solo,” O’Brien quipped. “I wrote it down because I heard that you were in some of the Star Wars films and this was news to me because I’ve seen those films and I don’t exactly think that you ‘pop.'” He added, “I’m sorry. But I mean, I remember Chewbacca, I remember the bad guy with the black helmet and then… there’s some people.”
“How come you’re not still on television?” Ford hilariously shot back.
In addition to their fun back and forth, O’Brien also shared some kind words for the actor.
“You came on my show many many times, on the Late Night show,” O’Brien said early in conversation. “And over the years people would say, ‘Who’s one of your favorite guests?’ And I would say, ‘Harrison Ford, because he’s so goddamn funny.'” He continued, “You are so hilariously funny and you tossed me around like a ragdoll, verbally, on these shows and they’re some of my favorite segments of all time. You are a hilarious man and I’ve always loved being around you.”
