I said possibly rehearsed. I dont think the interviews are rehearsed, but the stand up act the host gives before the show? even if its just the host reading the jokes an hour before the show its totally scripted/practiced.

and there is no way any actor that goes on there doesnt know the topics to be discussed before hand. no one would go on those shows if they risked getting blind sided by random questions. they may not know every specific question but they have a general idea. Ford's response was 'scripted', he's an actor he acts. Im not saying it wasnt funny or good but its definatly not a suprise to either party (host or guest)

All those late night shows are are a bunch of publicity/promotion for a guest and a comedy routine (that is poorly scripted for the most part). the interviews are the best part of the shows, most of the hosts jokes are obvious set ups, and probably 75% of the time the guest's 'performance' outshines the host.

For the record, I thought Harrison Ford's reaction was absolutly classic
