Okay, we’ve got some late-night goodness to review. The highlight of the night came when Jimmy Fallon broke out his uncanny Neil Young character — last seen singing the theme to “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” — for another song related to the Smith family: Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair.” Halfway through, Bruce Springsteen — wearing sunglasses and a fake beard — joins him, and it’s a delight to hear Springsteen and pseudo-Young sing lyrics like “Don’t let haters keep me off my grind / Keep my head up I know I’ll be fine.” (video below)
The Young/Springsteen video HAS to be good to bump Harrison Ford from top billing. Ford was the first guest on last night’s “Conan,” and he was HIGH OUT OF HIS MIND (video below). I can’t for the life of me pin down what fabulous cocktail of drugs he was on (Coke and lean? Weed and ecstasy?), but he was by turns spaced out, confused, sullen, wide-eyed, goofy… all while constantly rubbing his hands on the chair’s armrest. The highlights were him saying he’d love to do another Indiana Jones movie for the money (see the 8:45 mark) and his response to what he would have done in Capt. Sully Sullenberger’s position after a bird strike: “sh*t and die.” (Note: it wasn’t bleeped, because cable TV rules.)

…and you know those have to be some remarkable late-night highlights to bump screencaps of Rosario Dawson to third billing.
She is exquisite.

thank you for Rosario!
She’s my warrior woman. My Valkyrie. She’ll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It’ll burn us both. It’ll kill us both. There’s no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will.
Looks like the next movie will be Indiana Jones and the Overdose of Nyquil. Never mind that though, Rosario Dawson looked smokin’ last night.
If I was married to calista flockheart, i’d be high all the time too.
“From now on, anytime an interview subject is so legendary that he can be as high as he wants in a late night interview and it’s awesome instead of sad, we should call it The Harrison Ford Zone. Trust me on this. I’ll sell you on it because I have celebrity friends.”

Stoned Harrison Ford should be a conan character, and his catch phrase could be either “Shit, and Die.”, “May-be!”, or “It will be more than fun.” Genius. I almost hope this is like the Joaquin Phoenix thing so we can see more of this baked Harrison Ford.
Ground-up Ewok has ten times the killing power of crack.
+1 Danger, Well played. I would have been better if he starting attacking Richter, but whatevs. I’ll live with this overdose of cough medicine.
@Danger – Yes but Simmons would never watch Conan. He bitches and bitches about him and claims Leno and Kimmel are the greatest and Conan was a disgrace.
Fuck Simmons with a poker.
We know a 4-Loko binge when we see one.

Ford was tripping balls. That looked like LSD to me. And Conan was fucking with him the way you fuck with your tripping friends. I was laughing my ass off.
Blimp!
Have you ever seen a Harrison Ford interview on a late night talk show before? That’s his “act.” Seriously, go watch his interview with Letterman or on Conan’s old show. He always looks like he is on something or is uncomfortable. Oh, and the rubbing the chair is also something he does in every interview. I really am amazed at how much attention that interview has received when it was a normal Harrison Ford interview.
Jimmy Fallon continues to show how talented he is outside of his awful interviews. When he’s not breaking character by laughing, he really is a talented individual.
The Boss does a hell of a Tom Waits impression.
