Whether or not you’re caught up with the return of Star Wars or the late night juggernaut that is The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Harrison Ford’s stop by Fallon’s desk last night was pretty great. It was a call back of how fun a late night interview, on any late night talk show, should be.

Though not as spry as the Han Solo from the original Star Wars, Ford still has the same attitude that made him perfect for the role that clashed well with Fallon’s desire to not draw the ire of Harrison.

Whether you’re meeting her family or you’re meeting Tig Notaro, odds are that you’re going to have an unforgettable experience.

Colin Quinn Makes a Great Case For Feeling Jealous About Not Being on Law & Order

Seriously, Colin Quinn should be on Law & Order. It probably wouldn’t be as weird that one time Stephen Colbert was on it.

Last night, Colin Quinn took The Tonight Show stage to do stand-up and focused on living in NYC for years while Law & Order has also been shot in NYC for years and somehow not being featured in the show. If anything, Cop Show should guarantee him something, but, alas, Quinn has to settle for being one of NYC’s funniest.

Already, you’ve heard from Conan O’Brien and Jon Stewart on Dave’s departure from The Late Show.

Jimmy Kimmel gave one of his most heartfelt, sincere moments in his farewell to Dave.

Jimmy Fallon gave thanks to Dave for paving the way for what late night is now.

Seth Meyers told his favorite Letterman story as well as recreated the opening credits of Late Night a la Dave’s version.

There will be more of these to come to be sure.

Kristen Wiig Goes on “The Tonight Show” as Khaleesi

How much do you wanna bet that the pre-interview for this didn’t go past, “Well, Kristen’s just going to come as Khaleesi.”?

In her tradition of showing up as famous personalities that she, seemingly on purpose, doesn’t research all that much, Kristen Wiig came on to The Tonight Show as Game of Thrones’ Khaleesi. It’s probably the best way to promote her movie, Welcome To Me, about a slightly abnormal person winning the lottery and making their own talk show as well.

Of course, Wiig didn’t disappoint and we’d like to think that Westeros would just come under this Khaleesi’s rule by her charm alone rather than the threat of dragons.

Watch it all here.

So, as far as we can see, Will Ferrell does more movies just so he can do whatever he wants on talk shows.

Apparently, following Get Hard, Ferrell signed a contract to be Little Debbie and promote Little Debbie snacks. He showed up in full Little Debbie garb last night on The Tonight Show and committed to it for the whole interview.

With such dedication, it’s no mystery as to why acting royalty Meryl Streep has a crush on him.

In promotion of the upcoming Jack and Triumph Show on Adult Swim, Jack McBrayer, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and Robert Smigel’s hair (Smigel is the hand and voice that makes up Triumph if you didn’t know) all made an appearance on The Tonight Show last night.

Triumph took every opportunity he could to work in a zinger even during a round of Catchphrase.

Our guess is that this is only a fraction of the fun trouble that Jack and Triumph get to on their own show.
