I don't know, Ford's reactions just seemed a little *too* over-the-top- like Conan had told him that he'd be showing it and asked him to be all distraught. Maybe he really was- I just can't see why at this point in his career he'd care about it much one way or another and I certainly don't believe Lucas has any power over him to make him deny the existence of the special. Heck, maybe Ford *brought* the clip to Conan.


Yes, i agree as well. Ford is OBVIOUSLY playing it up, and i think thats kind of what makes it so funny. Its obviously more of a skit--very rarely on these types of shows are the "surprises" really unknown by the guests.

Good reaction by Ford though.

conan: do you remember this show?
Ford: [quickly shaking his head]
conan: you dont remember it?
Ford: [quickly shaking his head]
conan: no memory?
Ford: no, no...
conan: so it doesnt exist then?
Ford: No-- it doesnt exist! No.
conan: well what if i were to tell you i had a piece of tape right now...
Ford: [lunges at conan and begins to choke him]
