A few weeks ago, Harrison Ford was on Jimmy Kimmel Live and I was surprised by how awful the ABC late host was during their interview. Hans Solo has a very dry sense of humor, so you never know if he is serious or not. But when their chat got serious as Ford talked about his plane crash, Kimmel tried to make jokes about it that came off as crude, disrespectful and idiotic. I was disgusted by it, and I was shocked that Ford didn’t say something to him.
Well weeks later, while the Star Wars new comers were on JKL yesterday, Ford finally got his say in a bit with Chewbacca. The Wookie and Hans have been fighting, and Chewie was so upset about it, he was going to jump off of Kimmel’s studios. Hans decides to make up with his friend and that convinces him not to jump. As they are hugging, Kimmel belts out the Star Wars theme and that’s when Ford tells him to STFU. I applauded because it was about time he said those 4 words to him.
Now if only someone could get Kimmel to shave off that pitiful beard things would be better in the late night world.
