Приколы
Conan brings up the holiday special and Harrison looks like he just asked what happened on that rainy day in Vietnam
Well, he was also in Apocalypse Now.
terminate...with extreme prejudice
Pro life tip : Never watch that movie, it's like they download bunch of weird star wars rip-off and mix it together like a shitty weird YTP, the movie is just non sense, like some kind of lost deep web footage made by a satanic cult
Harrison Ford's name in Apocalypse Now was Lucas...so there you go.
@@JohnYakooza agreed. I was excited when I found it one day on RUclips You know Weird Al's face in White and Nerdy when he gets that bootleg copy? Same smile. That smile quickly vanished once I started watching it.
Only Conan could ask Harrison Ford about the holiday special.
@Dan Gonzalez uhh...
I see that you’ve just been commenting on everyone saying the similar thing (of Conan asking about the Holiday Special) so I’m not sure if you’re just being a troll. But I’ll give the benefit of doubt and chime in-
You can see this interview was 2006 from the description. In the 2000s (and truthfully earlier), Harrison was always a bit of a “grump” as Conan humorously put it. Not in a mean spirited way but more of a private, reserved way where he often gave simple answers for interviews (it’s widely known that Harrison, being such a private person, isn’t too fond of interviews but has to do them as part of the press circuit for his films).
Conan was about the only host that kinda brought out a humorous side of Harrison, especially when compared to other nightly or daytime hosts (perhaps the only other host that Ford would lower his guard around was David Letterman). So everyone saying Conan had guts to ask about the special, Conan is the only guy to do so and live, those are based on that perception that Harrison was seemingly more humorous and a little more open when with Conan (a great one to see is Conan interviewing Harrison in 2002 for K-19: The Widowmaker as another example of Ford letting down his guard around Conan or one where Conan showed Ford a montage of Ford’s great acting ability of pointing fingers which got a genuine laugh from Ford).
NOW, Harrison has seemingly embraced the public perception of him as a grump and plays it for laughs when he’s on other talk shows like Kimmel or Fallon (if Fallon let’s him talk and doesn’t do that whole fake-laughter bit that overtakes all his interviews).
@@naveedman3725 Pretty sure that fella is just a troll. Either way thanks for the interesting write up. I also think Conan and Ford are friends privately, Conan said it on one of his podcasts.
@@naveedman3725 you ok buddy.
@@naveedman3725Will Elden Ring be at TGA?
Conan: "What if I were to tell you if I had a little piece of that tape?"
Ford: "How about another joke, Murray?"
When Conan asked “how would you feel if I rolled the clip?” I thought he was going to say “how would you like to be strangled to death on television?”
@@caedengoering And we all would have understood haha
"What? You think that's funny? I'm dressed like a clown so I'm funny? I suppose I shouldn't have a GUN EITHER!"
Paul Rudd: Well, this looks like a good place to show a clip.
Conan also voiced the talk show host in the dark knight returns movie.
To hear Mark Hamill tell it, Harrison is a genuine cut-up when nobody's watching, dancing in the dressing rooms and making jokes.
Guess he's camera shy
He's just like me fr
O
back in the day
He has social anxiety. He does not like crowds especially when the attention is on him. I suffer from social anxiety I can't imagine what it's like to have at all eyes on me. That would make it so much worse. He's gotten a lot better though because before you couldn't get a word out of him
Harrison Ford is so criminally underrated as a comedic performer.
He's apparently a master at dead pan humor
that's because he's humor isn't very funny to people with a sense of it
The holiday special is WAY worse than you think. It is mostly wookies growling at each other, without subtitles.
And it’s still not the worst writing Lucas has done.
@@justincoleman3805 from what i can see he didnt write the holiday special though
@@justincoleman3805 King Adas
@@justincoleman3805 he didnt write it
@@justincoleman3805 Its ok mate, I understood your joke and I agree with you.
Harrison Ford is one of few actors who can say and do very little, yet be hilarious
his comedic timing is pretty good but his amazing deep voice is what makes it really work
Have you seen the last Indiana Jokes movie? Although maybe people were crying because it was such an awful movie not that it was so funny. Either was it's a 💩💩! But what is so annoying about Harrison Fart is that Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi were all HUGE FINANCIAL SUCCESSES! They all made him a MASSIVE STAR! THEY MADE HIM RICH! Yet every chance he gets he bashes them, he belittles George Lucas even though if it wasn't for George Lucas, Harrison Fart would have never been anymore than a carpenter.
@@EdsterIIIBrother, have you watched any of the original Indiana Jones movies?
The holiday special to Harrison is the equivalent as a battle in Vietnam is to a veteran
Neither should have happened. So good point I guess.
"The Horror.... The Horror...." :)
*Begins hearing the cries of Wookies*
@@stonegasman3866 any good? I've never heard of it.
It was a dark day in the Star War, even darker than when the Empire Struck Back!
I’m starting to think that Conan is a very good pal of Harrison Ford, otherwise this couldn’t be possible 😂
@Dan Gonzalez stfu
@Dan Gonzalez where tf did he misspell think??
Everybody is a good pal of Conan, except Jay Leno and NBC executives
@@johndoogan6269 he edited it, it says in the corner that he fixed it
Well they're both Irish. Don't know if that would play a part
He mentioned the Holiday Special and Harrison's reaction was similar to a war veteran experiencing PTSD.
If you listen carefully, after Ford denies walking around his apartment naked, you can hear someone in the audience go "Aww...."
Lol
It was actually Conan
Chewie?
The split second of fear that crosses Conan's eyes when Harrison Ford grabs him by the shirt is priceless XD
Harrison Ford interviews NEVER get old.
He never gets old
They are the best! Especially when they bring up star wars😅
just like the younglings
You gotta love the change in Ford’s body language when Conan brings up the Holiday Special. The way his eyes go wide and his face screams “Oh, God, NO!” before it travels down to the rest of his body like that.
It was a planned skit. Ford agreed to talk about it beforehand.
Lol. He pulled his knee up ‘turtleing’ 😂😂
He's a good actor for sure. They planned it out, of course, but he delivers the perfect "Someone's going to die tonight. It might be me, it might be you. But I'm going to kill someone." vibe.
Host: Asks about Holiday Special.
Harrison Ford: "Get off my studio"
Host: But, but.. It's my show, my..
Harrison: GET OFF!
Get off my plane!!!
Get off my millennium falcon!!!
3:27 Harrison Ford is having PTSD flashbacks.
that's exactly what i thought when he started moving and looking around.
ruclips.net/video/w-GPKo8q2Xc/видео.html
He was acting weird the whole time lmao
Conan: "Is there anything you'd like to say about the Star Wars Holiday Special?"
Harrison Ford: "Terminate with extreme prejudice."
If it traumatized Harrison Ford, you KNOW it was awful.
He’s not grumpy.. he’s just not a very public person. He likes his hobbies and his privacy which is totally fine...
thanks for stating the obvious.
What are you his PR agent?
He’s not a public person but he struts around his condo naked and then discusses it on national tv? Did you actually watch this video?!?
You mean an introvert?
@@drdrew3 Him walking around naked is horses*it
"Harrison Ford doesn't always enjoy talking about the good Star Wars movies. Ask him about this one, he might actually snap and kill you."
-Chris Stuckman
Ah a fellow stuckmanizer
Looks like he wasn't wrong
1:15 time stamp in that video
So Harrison is the Winter Soldier huh?
He'll smoke you first before ya ask m8 🤭
The way Harrison reacts to Conan reminding him of the Holiday Special tells me that it was _not_ an enjoyable experience for anyone involved when filming.
Cocaine doesn’t make you forget.
@@rastas_4221 that wasn't a thing til the 80s. More like weed
He's quite clearly acting...
Its more of a, " ohfucktheyfoundmyshame. I NEEDED THE CASH!!"
All of these interviews are planned well in advance. There are no surprises on these shows. The only exception to this "late night rule" was Craig Ferguson.
He is like 800 years old and still handsome as hell.
Keep in mind this was 14 years ago.
@@vladimirhorowitz he's handsome as hell now too.
@@sdeebee6641 exactly
@@sdeebee6641 Good surgeons.
@@sideskroll No, he just keeps good care of himself physically and stuff. He is still in very good shape and health for someone his age
That's "the look" of someone who is sick of talking about star wars.
Harrison has no personality
@@alphatrion100 He's got quite a bit of personality, it's just a dry sense of humor and shyness compared to most people you see working in Hollywood.
@@Deathlygunn i dont see it. Same goes for robert deniro.
@@Deathlygunn Also he never liked the role of Han Solo so i guess he was sick of talking about Star Wars
I think ‘Star Wars’ fans are sick of talking about ‘Star Wars’...
I doubt he even remembers making it. They probably filmed it in one day. (At least HIS part, which is very short.)
Maybe he was coked out the whole time like Carrie Fisher. I know I would if I had to participate in such an atrocity.
Oh my god. Harrison's reaction of "maybe it'll be nice!" was just perfect.
I thought Harrison was going to stand up and leave when they mentioned the special
Harrisons sheer look of fear at 3:26 never ceases to make me laugh my ass off
Harrison Ford looks more and more like his Indiana Jones father
So...dead?
@@justincoleman3805 Freshly dead!
Sean Connery. You can say Sean Connery , we'd know what you mean.
Wow, you are right. I never noticed that, he is just missing the glasses.
Frank and Justin you are both horrible
You can say what you will about his alleged "grumpiness", Ford really has a knack for underplaying what essentially is razor sharp wit.
A lot of alcohol was used on the set making the Star Wars Christmas Special.
And lots of cocaine
Plus other mind-altering substances, I reckon. It was the 70s.
Drugs.
Yeah... it was alcohol... nothing white and powdery. Just alcohol.
Bantha powder lol
He looks like he's getting interrogated for killing his wife in "The Fugitive"
I DON'T CAAARE
You find that man!
At first I thought “presumed innocent “
I remember coming to the USA for the first time in 1993 and learning about this special. I grew up in Brazil and I tough it was strange no Brazilizin network broadcast this program, giving on how much Star Wars was popular there.Then I watched online and learned why
Qual canal passou esse especial, SBT, Globo?
The look of sheer terror in his eyes when he mentions the special will forever haunt me
Man this restored clip is really good quality, considering it was shot in 2006.
2006 isn’t 1996.
@@halexd3017 Was he serious? I can't tell. But a lot of kids, like 20 somethings do think of 2006 as "the old days." Crazy to think about how 20 year olds in college were born in the same year I graduated high school.
@@halexd3017 this interview was in 2006
If they have access to the NBC master tapes clips will look as good as new.
2:14 - You can hear one female audience member give a slightly audible "Aww," when Harrison shoots down the rumor of him being naked in his apartment. lol
4:48
"That Wookie looked at you with LUST!" lmao
Harrison Ford isn't grumpy, he's just stoned.
While crashing planes.
my thoughts exactly
I think Ford is boring to listen to. He's got that low monotone voice. I enjoy Mark Hamil doing an impression of Harrison Ford more than listening to Ford himself.
@@mattjohnsononyoutube I'd give anything to smoke up with Harrison Ford.
@@mattjohnsononyoutube I know several people who work for him on a one to one basis and I ve met him briefly.
Yes, he's a massive stoner. He's a little uncomfortable around everyone but he's game to people having fun if he's not the center of attention.
He's fine with a smile and a wave, but don't expect him to stop and talk.
I do know one guy who was an aspiring film maker who lived in Jackson, where Harrison has a home, and Harrison personally invited the guy over for dinner and an evening of advice.
Harrison is definitely acting in this one with Conan... He's playing along... I love it
He does that a lot. Especially when involving Star Wars. He plays it up like he hates Han Solo because of how he wanted to have Han die in ROTJ for character arc. So many thought he hated the character. He didn’t. But all these years later- he plays it up all the time like he hates it. He HATED some of the technical dialog and words- but he didn’t hate the character.
It's a bit... that's why they could pull up the clip, it was prearranged and agreed upon, with Lucas who owns the IP rights in cahoots to be allowed to show the clip... All in good fun and it's nice to see that they can all laugh about it considering the history of repression that special was given by the Lucas team and everyone onboard including Harrison Ford, himself... It proves two adage: Time heals all wounds! And laughter is the best medicine!
The only person I know that made Harrison laugh was Carrie Fischer. RIP
During the coke or heroin binges, or both?
So did Ryan Gosling if you wanna check out the interviews they did for Bladerunner
Yea check out graham norton, he is very relaxed on the show.
@@Chronicles_Of_WA To be fair, almost everyone is relaxed on The Graham Norton Show.
@@OptimusGPrime yep. Alcohol. Lots of it.
You almost expect to see Conan's dead body slumped over the desk when it cuts back after the clip.
The Star Wars Christmas Special needs a trilogy.
more like a series with 2 seasons with 9 episodes each, each 45 to 60 minutes long.
😂😂😂😳
Only conan can manage someone like Harrison Ford in such a manner
This moment represents the sum of all fears in Ford, because one guy had to roll the clip on him one day. And that guy could not have been anybody else but Conan. From this moment on forward, Ford has been much more relaxed interviews. Well, as relaxed as a Harrison Ford can be when doing promos instead of crash landing his small airplanes.
Good one
He will pull "another joke Murray" if conan dare
Conan pulled that holiday special clip out without remorse.
Except Ben Affleck was in that one
Also, Star Wars Holiday Special is streaming on Disney+
The new one is MUCH better.
@@aliengranpa ....no.....that's not true......THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
It’s not
I mean, Conan has balls to ask Harrison Ford about the holiday special xD
@Dan Gonzalez Are you stupid in real life, or do you just play stupid on the interwebs?
All he did was act in it. It’s not like he’s responsible for it.
Anyone willing to watch that movie has balls.... It's unbearable. Couldn't get through it...
He will pull "another joke Murray" if conan dare
Spaceballs
"That's horseshit" was absolutely fucking gold.
Many of you watch the Star Wars Christmas Special without indulging in cocaine and then have to nerve to complain about that masterpiece.
Conan you’re such a talent. How you made an interview out of this was nothing short of amazing and super funny.
You can feel with how much disregard he delivered that line: "You're like... family to me." He was having a hard time acting that line, thinking what the hell is he doing there
When Conan said he was going to roll the tape, I half expected he'd pull a Paul Rudd and run that "Mac and Me" clip.
Are you saying there are people who don't enjoy wookie speak without subtitles for a half hour? IT IS ART
Harrison Ford is adorable when he plays along with Conan. Great chemistry!
Always admired that chameleon like hair of his. He can get it to part on the left, the right, down the middle, no part at all, swept back, short, long, absolutely amazing!
Conan all day. Best talk show host. Not pretentious. Not bitter. Not political. Just a joy to watch and cheer for him. Hilarious.
My favourite comic actor. His timing with one liners and throw away lines was amazing.
That 'I'm not grumpy' stare...
@Dan Gonzalez he can comment whatever, chill.
@Dan Gonzalez Did you just learn the word "moot"? You seem to be having fun tossing the word around, as if it was a brand new toy.
Moot means debatable. Anything can be moot.
@Dan Gonzalez apparently you don't get a rhetorical open ended statement....
“Well, don’t do that” should be obvious, yet such universal advice lol
“Well don’t do that”
Perfection 😆
lol the way he says 'thank you' lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Harrison Ford is one of the greatest action stars of all time
“That Wookiee looked at you with lust.”
😅🤣😂
Thanks for posting this...this man has such an on-screen-presence, such a legend...spent so much great hours watching his movies, thanks for that, Mr. Ford !
My Dad was an Art Director for TV, and his best friends from college were Ken and Mitzie Welch, the Musical Directors for _The Carol Burnett Show._
They were also the creators of _The Star Wars Holiday Special._
I am just SO glad that they didn't hire my Dad to design for it! I don't think I could ever have lived with that shame.
Everybody needs to understand, This was 1978. Star Wars was only a year old. A lot of people were enthralled with this movie.
Finally! This segment in HD!! 😍😍
Mr. Fords expression about the Holiday Special LMAO
I remember watching that special with my friends. We had made a huge deal about it all week, sure that it was gonna be every bit as good as the movie! Five minutes into it we knew it sucked. We watched the whole thing hoping it would get better. It never did.
But the kids in 1978 just LOVED it, like they loved the movie “KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park” when it was broadcast.

2:56 lmao
So funny that my face remained stoic like Harrison.
Man I remember seeing him in Indiana Jones 4 and he look old but looks relatively young here by comparison!
To be fair his acting in holiday special is still top notch
I was expecting Conan to be on the floor and Harrison to be in his seat after the clip.
@3:30 you can see the exact moment Harrison Ford has flashbacks.
Between his gruff film characters and the fact that he's constantly stoned, I can see why people think Harrison is a distant angry man.
I was 2 weeks old when that aired, yet somehow, I remember it! He’s that good.
this interview .. or the special?
At 4:23 when he breaks at the “I wouldn’t feel anything” line and instead just says it’ll be nice 🤣
Harrison is like a fine bottle of wine. He was the coolest when he was younger, and only became better with age.
What a legend! What joy you brought me all my life and now my boys…💞
The biggest risk Conan took in any interview xD
3:26 look at Harrison's face its like 'DON'T YOU DARE!'
Conan: you're living here in New York-
Harrison Ford: no
Everyone is talking about the Star Wars Holiday Special but my favorite part was “I was wearing clothes from here up”
I'm surpised he didn't go full PTSD after the clip.
That one thousand years stare, Harrison gives.
I have the same exact reaction when people asked me about cosplaying as Where’s Wally?/Where’s Waldo? to the D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center despite the fact I haven’t wore the costume from 2009 to 2016 because it was a store bought Halloween costume at 3:51.
Damn, I was going to say Harrison's looking great these days. Then realised it's from 06.
Ha! I was thinking the same!
🤣😂
To be fair, Harrison Ford still doesn't look bad as evidenced in The Force Awakens which came out years after this.
Happy Life Day!!!!
Conan looks like an Elder Scrolls: Oblivion character
The best thing is that he does look pissed in the footage
I think the holiday special is the reason why he doesn’t like Star Wars, part from the bad dialogue. Notice in interviews how he’s a lot more open back in 77 but 78 and onwards he’s distant.
the reason he doesn't like star wars is because he easily has 20 better movies that he would like people to pay attention to but instead keeps being pestered about this below average kids' movie for decades
i laugh more at harrison ford interviews than any comedian thats on the show
"Go ahead... rollll it" - ROTFL
Ford did a nice job with the limited and weak material given in that special. My favorite anecdote is that Carrie Fisher used to play a copy of this at the end of Christmas parties in an effort to coax guests into leaving
I guess the holiday special was a blessing in disguise. It showed that someone else needed to direct the rest of the trilogy :)
It's still better than the Disney Films
George Lucas didn't make it, though
@@thehammurabichode7994 ok my bad
@@SininenVenom No prob!
Has anyone else also not watched the special?
How could I? It doesn't exist
I've only heard of it in legend
Save yourselves some brain cells and don't do it!
14 year old me watched it as it was broadcast. Recorded the audio with a cassette recorder. Felt ill immediately afterwards and taped over it the very next day.
[This comment has been taken down by the Disney Overlords. The Special never existed, and it never will]
My favorite interviews of Harrison Ford is always on Conan's show.
Love it,watch every Christmas 🎄 got my 7yr old watching it now too.
Damn, he's really gorgeus!
And so is Harrison!
Awwww...😁
I remember back before The Holiday Special was widely available on the internet it was thought of as this myth. Was it real and everyone was trying to find a copy of it. Funny video with Conan and Harrison!
3:35 when you thought everyone forgot about that embarrassing moment
I own the Star Wars Holiday Special on DVD. I like Harrison's reaction too Conan having a piece of the tape. So funny
I always love who actors say “ oh I haven’t seen it. Even though I am in it” you know their egos wouldn’t let them stay away from watching themselves
