To list his credits would be an insult to not only him, but all of us.

You can see him now alongside Jason

Segel in the very funny show, Shrinking.

Season 2 premieres next Wednesday on Apple TV+.

Please welcome Harrison Ford.

It's very good to see you.

It's very nice to be seen.

How are you?

I wish we could, I wish our all, yes, go ahead.

Just ask me how I was.

How are you?

You didn't let me answer.

I knew you were going to give me a weird answer, because there's something that you do.

And I've picked, I've finally figured it out after all these years.

You've been on the show a lot of times.

You come here and you torture everyone, including me, in the funniest possible way.

Yeah?

I'm not going to do that tonight.

Well, you've already done that tonight, because one of our producers, Ken, he told me that he walked into your dressing room and he started to give you a briefing on what we were going to discuss.

You turned on a hairdryer the whole time he was speaking.

I was like, what?

I was like, what?

And what's done, what's done.

And once he was done speaking, you turned off the hairdryer.

The whole time.

I'm finally catching up.

Did you hear anything he said, or no?

No.

No, no, no, no.

But it's fun.

But I've never let him speak before.

So it was kind of.

He has a hard time with speaking just in general.

He also said on the phone yesterday that you asked him what he was going to be wearing to the show tonight.

Yeah.

You're dressed almost identically, by the way.

I should point out.

Yes, Ken.

Doesn't he look great?

There's Ken.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Sport jacket.

Yeah.

Button-down shirt.

Hey, Ken?

You should have blow-dried your hair.

I'm just saying.

Do you have hobbies?

Are you a person that has hobbies?

I had a hobby, but I turned it into something resembling a job.

I see.

So your hobby is acting.

Because when you were a kid, we found a photograph of you in high school, very handsome young man.

You're at a lot of, you're in a lot of clubs.

Social science club, president, boys club, representative, model railroad club, class council representative, variety show, and gymnastics.

Wow.

Uh.

Is there something you take issue with on this list that shouldn't be on here?

I've never been president.

I've been president of nothing.

You've never been?

You weren't president of the social science club?

What is social science?

The news.

Oh, the news.

So like social studies.

The news, dude.

I see.

Yeah.

The news, dude.

It's kind of a, it's kind of a pseudoscience now.

Yeah, well, now it's, yeah, it would definitely not be called a science anymore.

No, it doesn't qualify.

We're making pasta later.

And I know you have to go to your premiere.

I was hoping you could hang out and cook.

Me too.

You do do some cooking, right?

But you've got a better cook than me.

We got a, yeah, we got a real chef.

You have an actual cook.

Yeah, are you not a great cook?

I didn't say that.

Have you?

I don't, I'm not in the restaurant business.

Right. Your son is a great chef.

Currently, at the moment, not in the restaurant business, which is an advantage.

Yeah, yeah, being in the restaurant business is.

It's hard.

It's very hard.

It's really hard.

I have enormous respect for the people that do it.

And they work really, really hard.

Have you worked as a cook?

For relatively short periods of time, until they found out about me and fired me.

Oh.

Where did you cook?

My first job was, I cooked at a hospital.

Oh, really?

I don't know what I told them, but they gave me a knife on a bunch of carrots.

And I cut this part of my finger off.

Oh, yeah.

Within minutes.

At the hospital.

Yeah.

But the, so your finger on, back on department was right down the hall.

And right after that was where they fired you.

Is that right?

For lying about.

You gave your fingertip for those people and they let you go.

Yeah.

It's wrong, yeah.

I cut this fingertip off.

I cut this fingertip off cooking, both of them.

I was not at the hospital, nor did I go to the hospital.

But you weren't taking money for cooking at the time.

I was not.

No, nobody was paying me.

I was just at the house, bleeding.

Yeah.

That's why I'm a criminal and you're not.

Right, right.

Have you worked like in a restaurant or anything like that?

No, but I worked on a yacht.

Oh, on a yacht.

Yeah, and it came to me to be responsible for feeding people.

Rich people, I assume.

Far beyond my means at the time.

This is, you're living where at the time?

Chicago.

I was working on a yacht that was owned by the youngest bank president in Chicago at the time.

He had a yacht.

And a boutonniere.

Well, he had a boutonniere.

And he wore one of those hats with the scrambled eggs on the stuff.

Oh, yeah.

Captain hat?

Really?

No, a captain hat with the boutonniere.

And he was a nice guy, but he didn't know much about cooking.

Fortunately for you, huh?

He was heir to the Swift Meat Packing Company.

Oh, really?

So all I had to do was buy really expensive beef.

And you made it and you grilled meat for him, yeah?

Anybody can do that.

Yeah, anybody can do that.

Tim Walz was here last night.

You know who?

Thank God.

With Tim Walz.

You like him?

I do.

Yeah, he was a teacher.

He was, you know, he worked with kids.

He worked in the lunchroom.

He did a lot of this kind of stuff.

His job is not done.

His job is, well, he hasn't even been hired for the job yet, technically.

Yeah, no, we still have to do that.

But I was wondering if you, because even Donald Trump said,

I think you're his favorite movie president from Air Force One.

I was wondering if you have ever been approached, have you ever been approached to get involved in politics?

About to do it right now.

Oh, you are?

Here we go, all right.

No, I was just kidding about entering into politics.

Because I've always been in politics.

We're all in politics.

Are we?

We should be.

We have to be.

Because it's critical.

And there's some really important decisions to be made.

Right.

It's about saving the world.

That's, yeah, well, that's.

I mean, listen, you can't always do that.

All right, we're going to take a break.

Harrison Ford is here, ladies and gentlemen.

We'll be right back.

Born on the bad side.

Been down since I began to crawl.

It's one of the hottest things I've ever seen.

Now it's going to be the wallpaper on my phone.

How did you get in here?

Well, she picks you up every day.

I gave her the code.

Betrayal.

Look, dancing's supposed to be good for Parkinson's.

I don't even like it.

You admit that you love our morning dancing, or it's never going to happen again.

It's my favorite, baby.

That is Harrison Ford in Stranger.

Season 2 premieres next Wednesday on Apple TV+.

We enjoy this show.

My wife and I watch it.

You play a therapist who has Parkinson's disease, which doesn't sound funny, but it is funny.

It's a nice office atmosphere you guys have.

Jason Segel is your co-star, one of your co-stars.

He says that it's intimidating working with you.

Do you sense that from him?

Well, I'm really sorry to hear that.

That's not a good thing.

Maybe he's, maybe I should get fired.

I think it's too late.

But I was wondering if there's an actor that you worked with that you felt like that way about.

Well, Alec Guinness.

Alec Guinness.

Oh, interesting.

Sean Connery.

Did they, did they make it, did they try to ease your anxiety?

No.

Not at all?

No, actually, Alec Guinness did.

He tried to help me find an apartment when I first came to London to make Star Wars.

That's the kind of sir he was.

Wow.

Did he drive you around?

No.

I didn't realize that I could have asked him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, he just put out the word amongst his friends.

And he got you an apartment?

No, he didn't.

Oh.

Because his friends were too classy, and I didn't have enough money.

Some knight he is, he can't even get an apartment, for God's sake.

He was a very sweet man.

And so was Alec Guinness, or not the other one, the other one.

Sean Connery?

There's an episode where you are singing a Sugar Ray song.

And first of all, you have a very nice voice.

I had not really heard you sing before.

Had you, did you know that song, that?

Some enchanted evening.

That's not the one.

Did you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You may see a stranger.

You may see a stranger across a crowded room.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, it's a, I was, I'll be telling you another time.

They fell asleep over there.

They don't know.

Did you ever imagine you'd be on a television show?

I mean, a big movie star, this used to be a thing that nobody did.

Oh, you mean not this television show?

No, no, no, no.

I definitely, definitely didn't mean this television show.

Because I thought you were asking me that.

Isn't this exciting for you to be here?

This must be the pinnacle of your career.

You know what?

You make it feel like it is.

And that's not a good thing.

Harrison Ford, everybody.

Season 2 of Speaker of Wednesday on Apple TV+.

We'll be back with Chef Kevin Funke.
