- Conan O'Brien: You just shot the sequel to "Anchorman". And everyone wants to know: How was it?
- Harrison Ford: [chuckles; audience cheers] I don't, uh, I don't have anything in life experience to compare it with, so...
- [Andy laughs]
- Harrison Ford: I wouldn't be able to tell you what it was really like. I went there, I was there for a day, I did some... stuff, that I'm not so sure about.
- [Conan and audience laugh]
- Andy Richter: Not sure what you did?
- Harrison Ford: And it was nothing like I've ever, uh, been part of before.
- Conan O'Brien: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- Harrison Ford: And I, uh, left. Uh... and, uh, I had not seen "Anchorman 1".
- Conan O'Brien: You hadn't seen the first "Anchorman".
- Harrison Ford: No.
- Conan O'Brien: Oh, so you didn't know what you were in for.
- Harrison Ford: I had no idea.
- Conan O'Brien: You thought this was a serious movie about anchormen. You showed up, you had no idea.
- Harrison Ford: I knew it was, uh, a comedy...
- Conan O'Brien: Uh-huh.
- Harrison Ford: ...But I didn't know what KIND of comedy.
- [Conan and audience laugh]
- Conan O'Brien: How was Will Ferrell?
- Harrison Ford: Uh, he's insane.
- Conan O'Brien: Yeah. Yes, he is.
- Harrison Ford: He's insane. Everybody that works there is really... insane.
- Conan O'Brien: Yeah.
- Harrison Ford: And they don't care about anything...
- Conan O'Brien: Yes. Yeah.
- Harrison Ford: Except for, uh, um, the joke.
- Conan O'Brien: Yeah.
- Harrison Ford: But I don't know what the joke is, and maybe...
- Conan O'Brien: [laughs along with audience] I can't wait to see you in the movie now, 'cause you're just gonna wander in, look around and then wander off camera. That's what's gonna happen.
- Harrison Ford: I think it can be cut that way.
- Conan O'Brien: I have to ask you about "Star Wars". They are making the new "Star Wars" films. You are gonna be involved...
- [Harrison Ford yawns; Andy and audience laugh]
- Conan O'Brien: No. No. No. We MUST know something. We must, you must give us some detail...
- [audience cheers]
- Conan O'Brien: No? No? Okay, listen to this: This is what I'm gonna do. Here's what I'm gonna do. I was prepared. This isn't fake money. This is a real $1,000 right here. This is $1,000, okay? It's not my money. I took it from Andy's dressing room.
- [audience laughter]
- Conan O'Brien: This is a real $1,000. I will give you this money if you tell us something about the new "Star Wars" films.
- [audience cheers; Conan holds the wad of bills up to Harrison. The audience starts chanting "Do it!". Finally, Harrison pockets the bills]
- Harrison Ford: [after a pause] A long time ago...
- [audience and Conan laugh]
- Conan O'Brien: What? A long time ago?
- Harrison Ford: ...In a place far, far away... I forget the rest.
- Andy Richter: Actually, I think it's a "galaxy" far, far away.
- Conan O'Brien: It's actually a galaxy.
- Andy Richter: Yeah yeah, it's a galaxy far, far away.
- Harrison Ford: But it was a long time ago?
- Andy Richter: It WAS a long time ago. In many ways, it was a long time ago.
- Conan O'Brien: Can you give me any detail at all?
- Harrison Ford: You have no idea how long ago. It was really a long time ago, and it feels like it was far, far away. Uh, uh, but I hear they're uh, uh, they're thinking of doing another one.
- [audience laughter/cheers]
- Conan O'Brien: That's $1,000! All right, we're taking a break. I'm getting that money back somehow.
- [Harrison shakes his head]
- Conan O'Brien: Ladies and gentlemen... no.
- Andy Richter: Should've started at $100 and built up.
- Conan O'Brien: I should've started at $100! I'm such an idiot!
- Harrison Ford: Do you have any idea what they normally pay you to come here and do this thing?
- Conan O'Brien: [laughs] I thought you came here out of the love, Harrison. Just the love for me.
- Harrison Ford: No, I don't go anywhere for love.
- [Conan and audience laugh]
- Harrison Ford: I stay home for love.
