He was on The Daily Show last week and was equally loopy.

What is it with these Hollywood leftists and always being stoned out of their minds?

Lack of rehearsal is my guess.

Old, famous and rich. He can be as loopy as he wants…

Are you kidding, Ford was hilarious. And he looked excellent.

he seemed like he always does in interviews. he hates them, and every time i have seen him, he’s been weird like this.

Ford has terrible stage fright…it would come as no surprise if he self-medicated to ease his anxiety.

As TonyClifton said, he was on the Daily Show last week and seemed the same. I don’t know if he’s just ALWAYS on something, or if he’s just a naturally odd man. Either way, it sure is entertaining.

If he wasn’t married to Calista I’d swear he was dating Paula Abdul and she was his supplier…

If this was 1978 I’d say he had taken a Qualude.

It was like a slow motion drunk…

Harrison Ford is just another stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder.

“Shit and die.”

Good thing Chewy was flying the Falcon !!!

What a sweetheart! I’ve loved this man since ’78!!

btw, definitely drunk not stoned.

Just another Hollyweird buzzard. Intriguing the minds, of the clueless and destitute of spirit. Those who tune in for a late night fix with ratings and advertising goons, like Conan, Leno and Letterman. I will never understand the fixation too many Americans have with media personalities. It definitely rings of compulsive/obsessive behavior.
No wonder, so many in our society have no lives. I have two squirrels, outside my flat, who have better entertainment qualities.

He’s a leftist? Oh no, alert the authorities!

You need some of Harrison’s booze there goldmind…

“flat” means a brit I suppose…no wonder…as your people gush over a wedding and family that personify that which you rant at us for.

And the name “goldmind”….says it all.A materialistic narcissist.

You do realize your posting this on a site that is DEDICATED to talking about media personalities, right?

I agree. If you watch his face there are moments when he is completely terrified. Anyone who’s ever had stage fright can sympathize.

He’s also obviously medicated in some way. Either that or he’s having a stroke.

Dhg…Brooklyn, NY…Flat(line), is how I feel, when I explore the different media jungles, and observe the mindless preoccupation with the status of Britain’s derelict monarchy, Sarah Palin’s fetish for bear claws, Glenn Beck’s hotline to providence, ect. Omega, indeed I do. Thankfully, Abrams and his band of thieves, has avoided the moderator oversights, that prevent commentaries which offend the fraudcasters. Try posting something derogatory on Witch Doctor Philly, and you will feel the void immediately. I have no real issue with these clowns who permeate the airwaves. My issue, is with the idiots, who believe they are Sages, and those who inundate us with their products. Especially, the American Drug Cartels.

Do you drink or inject something to come up with those idiotic comments — or do they just come naturally?

I was in the Conan audience last night and the Harrison Ford interview was pretty painful to watch. Conan was doing all the talking and there were quite a few long, awkward pauses as Harrison tried to form a phrase that seem to have been edited out of the final show. It was actually kinda sad

Clearly Ford had a couple of drinks beforehand. Reminds me of the old tonight show w/ carson clips. Ford looks fantastic for his age.

But, what explains Conan? He still seems really stilted and odd in his interview questions. Letterman would have had much more fun with Ford.

Conan was mining it. He egged it on. Indeed, assuming this clip can make it also to Comedy Central, and O’Reilly, possibly as a pin head segment, then everyone can be happy that the PR blitz worked fantastic.

Obviously some people here are too young to remember the numerous drunk guests that passed through Johnnie Carson’s show, and delighted millions. There is nothing wrong with it. No cars or heavy machinery in sight.

I’m surprised this is even news. EVERY Harrison Ford interview is ALWAYS like this. YouTube has countless clips of Harrison Ford appearances on Letterman that would look just as awkward.

This is really more of a clue as to how much and which late night shows the Mediaite crew are watching these days. (Only Conan, apparently)

Oh, and Steve never misses Fallon. Sorry, Steve!

Harrison Ford is a legendary stoner.
I’m not saying he was stoned on Conan. I haven’t watched the interview.
I’m just saying Ford is a longtime pot smoker, so that’s a possible explanation.
PS: I’m not saying this to denegrate pot smoking. I smoke pot myself. To each his own.
I’m just saying he’s known as a pot smoker, so that might be an explanation.

Whoa, lot of thumbs down for the nerf-herder reference. Must be a Jar Jar crowd today.

Hi folks,
I don’t think Harrison Ford was drunk and he definitely was not high on Conan, but it is possible the two of them could have been sniffing a little Helium from Conans orange blimp.
If you are in the mood for a Helium sniffing laugh try http://www.hybridblimp.net the worlds only lighter than air comedy web site. Not even Conan has his own blimping comedy site.

Harrison Ford has always been crotchety and sarcastic in interviews, like this one from 1982:

At least 10 people didn’t get your “Empire” reference. I gave you the thumbs-up, anyway.

As far as Ford’s interviews go: yeah, he’s always like that in interviews. Disappointingly, I don’t think he has a lot going on upstairs.

An actor acting funny on a comedy show?!?! That guy must be on DRUGS.
seriously, I think the only thing Conan and Ford were “on” was fire. Hilarious interview. Contrived story.

I gave you a thumbs up and I don’t even usually give thumbs up on this site.

I’ve noticed him acting like this on other interviews, as well. It really seems to me that he’s not comfortable with interviews, he seems nervous. Conan wasn’t really helping things, either.

absolutely.a brilliant slowing down from the usual hyperdrive to leave room for the waves of laughs as ford beamed us into mr bean-land taking the “talk” out of “talk-show” with some very funny hand-jive. And to steve krakauer, citing, as proof of ford being “def drunk” or “stoned”, his accurate observation that the express purpose of an ad-blimp is to stay “in your face or over your head” looks like “proof” that you, steve, remain totally lucid in either of those conditions. Designating “difference” as “drug/drink induced” might be something Mediaite might want to reconsider(please….)

People expect too much from actors, remember, they’re people just like us with an enormous talent for remembering lines..that’s why they can act..when they are on “talk shows”, they feel uncomfortable..I can still remember many years ago on Johnny Carson.. he had Jack Palance on..well, here was this scary actor who could “hyperventilate” before he even said a word in the movies..and scare the heck out of you..not on Johnny Carson show..he sat there like a school child, hands clasped, an enormous man, huge for his age, very good shape barely able to fit in the chair & he talked “nonsense” something about how bad he felt when his “pet turkey” died..I mean that’s wonderful to be so sensitive but, hey..this is Jack Palance..the best bad guy in the world..sure was a surprise so don’t be shocked when your “action hero” talks like a jerk.. after all, he’s simply a …mere mortal!

A fifth of Jack Daniels and an eight-ball.

Ronald Reagan. The idiot actor is your God. Alzheimers, wasn’t home for 6 of his 8 years.

LISTEN…it is obvious from your comments that a majority of you have never been drunk or stoned. Neither would make you act the way Ford did on Conan. SO, there are two possibilities, EITHER:

1. He has INTENSE stage fright, thus doing a live interview in front of a studio audience where his lines did not come from the memorized regurgitation of a bunch of carefully planned and well-thought out responses (those derived from the writers paid to make celebrities look good), but instead were invented on the spot by his own intellect, must make him EXTREMELY nervous.

OR

2. He was rolling his NUT off on at least three monstrous triple stacks (extasy for the uninitiated). Watch his body language, and the awkward pauses before answering each question. He gives the most stupid responses, yet if you watch him, he seems to think that they are witty and hilarious, a reaction you might understand if you have ever been talking sober to a person who could have got everyone in the room wrecked on what he took alone. And just look at that sly smile on his face…

DON’T GET ME WRONG…I love Ford. And whether on purpose or by accident, his interview with Conan was HILARIOUS. If it was drugs that made him act so strange, well, then more of Hollywood should not be afraid to show their f’ed up status on talk shows and in public in a polite, calm, non-nauseating, and respectable manner (I’m not talking about the absurd number of times they do it unintentionally, making themselves out to be ridiculous, pathetic slobs…), cause we all know that all of Hollywood is f’ed up, all the time.

P.S. CONAN’S BACK…ON TBS…YEAH CONAN’S BACK…ON TBS…

The interview isn’t even awkward! I’m not saying Ford isn’t an old stoner, but I don’t think he’s stoned or drunk or even extremely nervous here.

The comment Conan made about it being an “honest interview” wasn’t a summation of the interview at large; it was a response to Ford’s implication that he’d love do another Indiana Jones movie not because he actually gives a shit about Indiana Jones, but because it would make him a ton of money. Pretty honest. And what he said about blimps–well, that’s a pretty accurate description of blimps, isn’t it? If you think this is weird, you’re weird.

I think he has a mental problem.  I think the problem happened about the time of regarding henry.  Rewatch his movies and interviews his is definitly slow and sufering
