It’s clear Harrison Ford does not want to discuss the “Star Wars” sequel – or have anything to do with certain former co-stars.

In a hilarious stunt on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Ford declined to answer any questions about the J.J. Abrams project, even from “audience” members dressed as “Star Wars” characters.

Things really heated up when Ford’s former co-star Chewbacca stepped up to the microphone. The actor had some choice words to say his “Star Wars” cohort after Kimmel explained he was trying to reconcile the two because, apparently, there is some bad blood there.

Ford is currently starring in the Jackie Robinson biopic “42,” and will next be seen in the thriller “Ender’s Game.”

TV host Jimmy Kimmel is featured in the March issue of Playboy, dishing on everything from the late-night wars to his love life.
 
On being a winning addition to the 11:35 PM late-night show circuit, Kimmel said, “I am stupidly competitive, especially when it comes to baseball or Scrabble. Yet I don’t feel late-night is such a big competition. There won’t be another king of late-night to match Carson’s dominance. There will be maybe a bunch of dukes and the occasional earl.”

As for the turning point on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the comedian explained, “There came a certain point when I knew change had arrived. It was when Steve-O, the Jackass stunt maniac, came on and wanted me to do a bit in which I’d throw darts into his a**. That’s the moment I grew up: when I declined Steve-O’s invitation.”

Actor Matt Damon finally exacted revenge on Jimmy Kimmel, after being “bumped” from his late-night show for the past 10 years. The Oscar winner kidnapped the host, duct-taped him to a chair and made him watch as he brought a bunch of famous friends, including Ben Affleck, Demi Moore, and Kimmel’s ex, Sarah Silverman, to toy with the funnyman. Nicole Kidman even gave Jimmy a lap dance!



Damon deftly took over hosting duties, but he had a lot of help along the way. During his opening monologue he joked, “This is like the time I lost my virginity, except this is going to last way longer than one second,” before handing the task over to Robin Williams. Sheryl Crowe backed up the “Promised Land” actor as guest band leader for the night.
