Harrison Ford just turned 77 this week, and you can say he might be getting too old to play Indiana Jones. Yesterday on Conan, who is at San Diego Comic-Con this week, decided to hold auditions for his replacement.
Thomas Middleditch (who I am convinced could play Marty Feldman after this), Billy Eichner, Sam Richardson, Adam Scott, Seth Green, Tig Notaro, Mr. Kyra Sedgwick and Dan Chadle all tried out for the part. Kumail Nanjiani would have been considered if he actually showed up. However, he cancelled on Conan O’Brien minutes beforehand.
Anyhoo, of the bunch of them, I am rooting for the guy who could be Footloose around a boulder to take over as Indy. Can you believe with all the movies Bacon and Ford have done, they have never done one together? That needs to change.
