Harrison Ford is back on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote Star Wars, so that means it’s time for awesome grandpa time once again. Ford is usually the coolest, grumpiest guy in the room, with little concern about actually promoting his work. He has no qualms about joking about how much they pay him to do these movies, though. That was the best part when Kimmel brought up the next Indiana Jones film.
The interesting thing we get here is a little clarification about his relationship with MC Hammer. You might remember back when our own Brian ‘Danger’ Grubb posed a few interesting questions revolving around Ford and Hammer’s relationship. One in particular stands out:
2) Are MC Hammer and Harrison Ford friends?
If the first question was the most obvious, this is the most important. Did MC Hammer and Harrison Ford just run into each other this one night, or is this a regular thing? Do they hang out a lot? Does MC Hammer go to Harrison Ford’s house to watch football on Sundays? Do you think Calista Flockhart — Harrison Ford’s long-time girlfriend — is always saying, “Ugh, Harrison. I wish you would stop hanging out with MC Hammer so much and pay attention to me?”
Promise me something: If any of you ever see MC Hammer or Harrison Ford, you must find out if they are friends. Not knowing has the potential to kill me.
It turns out they are not friends. At least not in the way that they take note of the other person’s work and spend time flying around in planes together — which they should. In fact, most of Brian’s questions get answered in this segment.
Not only was Hammer’s time stamp wrong — they met up at like 2:45 — but Harrison Ford might not even know any of Hammer’s music. The two met up at a TED talk in the wee hours and Ford calls him a very interesting dude. But when questioned about his favorite Hammer tune, Ford reaches for the card to struggle for an answer.
Cat is out of the bag. All of that Hammer/Ford fan fiction you’ve been writing is garbage now. They would never get zapped to the past to become ace World War II pilots. You’d be lucky to find them hanging out together at the local Roscoe’s. I feel sick to my stomach.
