i had this conan on VHS... He's much more chipper on this than any later interview i've seen him in

Harrison Ford on Conan is playing a character. It's why he's on there so much when he usually hates having to do publicity or talkshows.

Harrison Ford has this thing where he's at his best when he looks frightened or miserable. He just has the best "ooooh shit" reactions, like when there's a boulder or locomotive or embarrassing clip rolling inexorably towards him.
