Unless you want to invoke the wrath of Han, don't ask Harrison Ford about "Star Wars."

Only recently -- since über-director J.J. Abrams confirmed he was helming the sequel, "Star Wars: Episode VII" -- has the actor expressed much enthusiasm about his iconic character in the franchise, beloved mercenary Han Solo.

On "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday, Ford riffed on the secrecy surrounding the movie (with rumors swirling that Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill might reprise their original parts) and his historical reluctance to discuss his breakout role.

He flatly refused to discuss the new film during the interview, and when his host asked whether he'd take audience questions, Ford agreed -- on one condition: "No 'Star Wars' questions."

Of course, every person who took the microphone was outfitted in a "Star Wars" costume -- and thrown off-guard by the actor's mandate.  Obi-Wan Kenobi stuttered, "Do you like being in movies?" A bearded dude dressed as Princess Leia asked an even more mundane question: "Are you hungry?"

But Chewbacca refused to play ball. His comments, spoken in his native Wookiee language (Shyriiwook, to be precise), enraged his former co-star.

"You son of a b----," Ford snarled, as the audience roared in laughter. "What do you want?"

"Yeah, you'd like that wouldn't you?" he said after Chewy's next remark. "Always trying to blame me. You're the one who couldn't keep it in your furry pants!"

"Actually he's not wearing any -- he doesn't wear pants," Kimmel noted.  

"I rest my case!" retorted the actor.  

In a profanity-laced faux tirade, Ford accused Kimmel of engineering the showdown with the creature who betrayed him.

"He knows what he did. She was my wife! You Wookiee (expletive)."

Finally, Ford couldn't take it anymore and stormed off the set.

"I'm out of here," he said, with one parting message to his former co-pilot.

"You -- I'll see you in hell!"

Let's hope they patch things up, because actor and comedian Patton Oswalt features them prominently in his epic eight-minute "Star Wars" filibuster. The eight-minute outtake of his rant, featured Thursday night on NBC's "Parks and Recreation," hit nearly 1 million YouTube views in a single day. In his suggested storylines for the franchise sequels, he includes this gem featuring Kimmel's guests:

"And that's when Han drops Chewbacca's severed head onto the floor!"

Guess that's one way to bury the hatchet.

Wednesday's announcement that Jay Leno would be stepping down from "The Tonight Show" hosting duties on NBC to make room for "Late Night's" Jimmy Fallon in Spring 2014 clearly had the staffs of every late night show scrambling to rewrite their opening monologues -- because everyone had something to say!

First, there was the back-patting; this transition is being done with an air of friendliness that did not necessarily characterize the one that brought Conan O'Brien into "Tonight's" seat for a few months in 2009.

"He is a hell of a guy!" said Leno last night to his audience about Fallon. "He's going to do a great job. I just have one request for Jimmy: We've all fought, kicked and scratched to get this network up to fifth place. Now we have to keep it there! Jimmy, don't let it slip into sixth! We are counting on you."

Over at "Late Night," Fallon acknowledged that his shift was the big news of the day: "Hello! Welcome!" he began. "This is 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' -- for now," he said. "You guys probably heard the news -- I’m going to be taking over 'The Tonight Show' next February! But don't worry. Until February, our focus is right here on whatever this show is called."

Added Fallon, "I want to thank everyone here at 'Late Night,' the staff, the crew and, of course, The Roots. I have to say thanks to Jay Leno for being so gracious. It means so much to me to have his support. I just want to thank the fans for staying up to 12:35 a.m. and watching us." 

Over on the other networks, former "Late Night" host David Letterman played up the story for laughs on CBS' "Late Show." Letterman was notoriously angered not to have been offered the "Tonight" show gig himself in 1992 when Leno was tapped, and that feud hasn't faded over the last 22 years. 

"I got a call from my mom today," said Letterman, who also devoted his Top 10 list to Leno. "She says, 'Well, David, I see you didn't get 'The Tonight Show' again."

Leno wasn't about to let it go unsaid, either, quipping, "Folks, I got to be honest with you, I had a really awkward day today," he said in the opening. "I had to call David Letterman and tell him he didn't get 'The Tonight Show' again. Awful! Terrible!"

The Hollywood Reporter noted that Letterman also referenced the O'Brien issue, questioning not Fallon but the choice to make another switch: "Didn’t we just go through this?" he said. "Jay Leno now is being replaced, and this is the second time this has happened. I mean, it’s crazy. He’s being replaced by a younger late-night talk show host -- what could possibly go wrong? Honestly. They had pretty good luck with this in the past."

Speaking of O'Brien, he also addressed the topic around the 30-minute mark of his TBS show "Conan." "I want to congratulate Jimmy. That is a really fun gig." His audience laughed, and he followed up: "You laugh, he said, but it really is. Jimmy is the perfect guy to do it. ... He's going to do a fantastic job. So congratulations, Jimmy."

The one broadcast late night host who doesn't have any dog in this race, Jimmy Kimmel, also had something to say. 

"It is a big one for the world of late-night television," said Kimmel in his "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" monologue on ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "As you probably heard -- it was announced officially today -- that, starting in February of next year -- after the Olympics -- I will take over as new host of 'The Tonight Show.' I spoke to Jay on the phone today." A member of his staff interrupted. "Excuse me for one moment. ... OK. Um, apparently it was a different Jimmy."

He read one of the headlines about the changeup on his cell phone and added, "Turns out I will not be hosting 'The Tonight Show.' Does anyone know what the return policy is on yachts?"

In the end, though, it was largely friendly banter and Fallon's ascension to the throne (which will move, along with the show, to New York City), seems to have gone over well. But Leno had one last warning: "NBC says in five years, they plan to replace Jimmy with Justin Bieber," he said. "They are moving too quickly!"

Are you one of the millions of women suffering from the Lululemon yoga pants recall?

Jimmy Kimmel feels your pain. On Tuesday, the late-night host premiered a hilarious PSA drawing attention to "the crisis sweeping the nation," aka a possible yoga pants shortage resulting from the recall of hundreds of semi-transparent bottoms. 

"I know this seems like a joke, but for white people, it isn't a joke," Jimmy quipped. "This is as serious as it gets."

Clearly. In the clip, paid for by Save Our Spandex, women resort to wearing cardboard pants, bubble wrap pants, and yogurt pants when their beloved Lululemons become unavailable. 

"With your donation of just $120 a day, you can put one woman in a pair of yoga pants," one woman says. 

Or you could, you know, not wear designer workout clothes.

ABC

Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel and Andy Garcia on "Jimmy Kimmel Sucks."

Matt Damon finally got his revenge on Jimmy Kimmel. The actor took control of Kimmel's late-night show Thursday night, starting with the credits -- the ABC show's title was tweaked to "Jimmy Kimmel Sucks" and the host's face had been defaced -- and continuing through the monologue, guest interviews and conclusion of the show.

VIDEO: 5 best clips of "Jimmy Kimmel Live"

The show started out with the video that had been released earlier in the day of Damon with a bound and gagged Kimmel, whom he had kidnapped. After the credits rolled -- where all the guests, including the musical act, were announced as being "Matt Damon" -- the actor wheeled Kimmel out on stage, still tied up with duct tape and gagged with a necktie.

"Welcome to tonight's episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Sucks.' I am your host, Matt Damon," he said. "Let me ask you this, as an audience is it weird to see a person with actual talent host this show?"

Damon went on to explain that Kimmel had bumped him from the show "1,205 times" -- a reference to when Kimmel first started his talk show and began signing off with the line "Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time" -- the joke being that no guest that he had on air possessed the star power of Damon.

He said he'd been "waiting for this moment for a long, long time. This is like when I lost my virginity except this is gonna last way longer than one second."

Damon also likened himself to Luke Skywalker and Kimmel to the Death Star, saying of Kimmel: "He's big and round and easily destroyed through his garbage hole."

He continued: "Look at Jimmy over there, with a gag in his mouth. You've never been funnier, my friend. Jimmy Kimmel is to late-night talk show hosts what Magic Johnson is to ... late-night talk show hosts."

Damon also went on to make some changes at the show, including replacing sidekick Guillermo with Andy Garcia -- who came complete with heavy, Guillermo-like accent -- and bandleader Cleto Escobedo Jr. with Sheryl Crow (who later performed her new single, "Easy"). Ben Affleck also popped up as a cue-card holder who demonstrated his loyalty to Kimmel, while Robin Williams dropped by to do jokes during the monologue.

"This is unbelievable -- it took Jimmy 10 years to accomplish what I just accomplished in 90 seconds," Damon said of the show's changes.

He explained that the origin of all the "hatred and bitterness" is that Kimmel is an aspiring actor and Damon has beaten him out for every role he wanted. A video of Kimmel's "auditions" showed him trying out for roles in "Good Will Hunting," "Adjustment Bureau," "Happy Feet 2," "We Bought a Zoo," "Stuck on You" and "The Bourne Ultimatum," during which Kimmel was confused about who was playing Jason Bourne despite the fact that the movie was the third in the Damon-starring franchise.

A slew of A-listers popped up as guests -- Nicole Kidman, Gary Oldman, Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon and Demi Moore -- all of whom continued the joke, saying that Kimmel "f------ sucks" (Kidman), is a liar who once cooked DiGiorno's Pizza and passed it off as homemade (Moore) and slipped the tongue during an on-air kiss (Adams).

At one point, Damon quipped: "Jimmy is always complaining about how hard it is it book celebrities on this show. We're only halfway through and I've booked seven big celebrities -- and that's not even counting me!"

Several other famous faces -- along with Kimmel's parents -- also appeared in recorded videos to praise Damon. Said Don Cheadle: "Thank you for allowing America to laugh again." Kimmel's parents, meanwhile, told Damon that he was "the son we always wanted."

Damon also brought out Kimmel's ex, Sarah Silverman, with whom Damon shot the "I'm F------ Matt Damon" video that went viral in 2008 (Kimmel and Affleck later released a follow-up, "I'm F------ Ben Affleck"). Silverman described her relationship with Kimmel to the fill-in host.

"You know when you're in New York and you pass those hot dog vendors and you think, 'I'm not going to eat one, it's not for me,' and then the smell gets to you, and you pound two or three of them? And then later one, you're puking, 'Why did I put this inside of me?' And you think about the encasing and all the entrails that are probably in there? So I guess it's like that."

Kimmel, incidentally, barely uttered a word during the entire episode despite being onstage the entire time.

At the end of the show, Damon asked Kimmel: "Is there anything you want to say before we wrap things up? Wait, I'm sorry, we're out of time."

During the East Coast airing, Kimmel tweeted: "You win this round Matt Damon. But I will win the war."

Maybe it's just something in the air -- on the heels of Washington and Colorado voters moving to legalize marijuana in November -- but it's hard not to notice a correlation between the wave of pro-pot political action and the number of celebrities who are very open about their use of the drug.

Rapper Snoop Dogg -- now Snoop Lion -- performs at The Wiltern in Los Angeles in 2011.

R&B singer Frank Ocean, who is up for six Grammy Awards next month, tweeted on Thursday, "hi guys, i smoke pot. ok guys, bye." It was his way of reacting after news got out that he was cited for pot possession during a traffic stop on New Year's eve.

As CBS' late-night host Jimmy Kimmel prepares to move to the 11:35 time slot and take on Jay Leno, he's featured on the cover of the new Rolling Stone. He opens the interview by asking, "If we smoke weed right now, is that on the record?" The answer, obviously, was yes, as the piece notes that the comic left to retrieve his "stash" and "returns with a vacuum-sealed baggie bulging with buds the size of baby Brussels sprouts."

Rolling Stone certainly has never shied from reporting on the intersection between drugs and pop culture. The magazine recently listed seven states it views as next in line in what it calls the crumbling of the "Berlin Wall of pot prohibition."

Snoop (Dogg) Lion has long wielded a sledgehammer and taken his whacks at that perceived wall. You'd have to be really really high to be surprised by the rapper preaching positively about pot. He told GQ magazine for its January issue: "It's from the earth -- it's not some man-made s---. It's actually growing from the ground straight to you, so it's just like eating a vegetable."

But it was Snoop's boast that he "would love to show" his kids the "right way" to smoke weed that raised eyebrows and generated headlines around the web.

And finally, from a man who could teach all these upstarts a thing or two about pot talk. In November, country legend Willie Nelson, while promoting his book "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" on TODAY, told Matt Lauer and a national TV audience, "we don't have to fly to Amsterdam any more" to smoke, and that he has seen no side effects from his use of the drug.

So, it's worth asking, as the political and legal stance on marijuana begins to shift in the US, does it still surprise you when celebrities are open about their use of the drug? Does it alter your opinion of them one way or the other? Share your thoughts on Facebook.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" planned to take New York by storm this week -- alas, it was the other way around. But, a night after canceling the show as post-tropical storm Sandy bore down on the Eastern Seaboard, Jimmy was in business Tuesday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theater. And he snagged a live studio audience to watch!

"I was born in Bay Ridge. I grew up in Mill Basin. Tonight, I have returned to save my people from the storm," Kimmel kicked off his monologue. "Thank you for ignoring the local authorities to be here tonight for our first show ... Mayor Bloomberg will be here shortly to have you arrested."

As for his unexpected night off: "I stayed in my hotel room, I drank all the little bottles of shampoo and I passed out."

Before welcoming guests Howard Stern and Tracy Morgan, Kimmel also touched on hot topics like the fuss over the mayor's sign language translator, Lydia Callis ("It's hard to tell where the sign language ends and the interpretive dance begins") and photobombing types who will run outside in their bathing suits just to get on the news ("Only risk your life when it's hilarious").

"I was begging Jimmy to cancel the show!" Stern announced. "I'm driving along and I'm trying to get here, and I thought, 'Why am I really trying to be here tonight?'"

GTL forever! "Jersey Shore" house unharmed by storm

Letterman, meanwhile, carried his edgy tone over from last night, joking that they normally ignore their audience anyway and lamenting the harsher storm facts like the concerned part-time New Yorker that he is.

"Odd name for such a miserable force of nature," the "Late Show" host said of Sandy. "Effects felt from Bermuda to Canada, 8 million homes and businesses without electricity...Economic losses could reach $20 billion -- and most of that is in paper towels."

"I had to come in, I used up all my sick days," he cracked. "I feel like Clint Eastwood, an old guy talking to empty chairs."

Production shut down on "30 Rock," "Gossip Girl" and more

Kate Hudson was the previously scheduled guest, but she canceled and Weather Channel expert Jim Cantore ended up doing the honors instead, along with singer Andrew Bird.

"Oh, it had nothing to do with the hurricane, it's just me," Letterman cracked about Hudson being a no-show.

Elsewhere in town, Studio 6B was packed once again for "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" (would guest Donald Trump have bothered to show otherwise?), who thanked the crowd for coming out.

"I'm so glad you're here because last night's audience was the worst," Fallon said. "Last night we had to do the show in front of a bunch of empty seats -- or as Clint Eastwood calls that, a full house."

"A lot of people don't have access to Facebook or Twitter" in the wake of the storm, he continued. "A lot of people couldn't get on Instagram, either. This morning I had to show a picture of what I ate for breakfast to my cab driver."

New York needs deep-pocketed do-gooders like these folks right now

Fallon also had a good zinger for Trump, as they talked about what the "Celebrity Apprentice" chair will do with his $5 million if President Barack Obama doesn't heed his call to turn over his college and passport records.

Noted Fallon: "New Jersey could use it."

Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses performs in New York City in February.

Axl Rose has agreed to a very rare television interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to promote the upcoming Guns N' Roses shows at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The "Appetite for Democracy" shows begin Oct. 31st and run for 12 dates through Nov. 24th. Axl will appear on the show on Wednesday, Oct. 24th. As is customary with the Kimmel show, the interview will be broadcast on a one-hour tape delay.

Guns N' Roses have been touring pretty steadily over the past few years, but Rose has agreed to very few interviews. He did appear on VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show" in November of 2011, where he explained why he's often late to his shows. "A lot of this goes way, way back to 1991, when we were super late going on stage," Rose said. "I should not have been on tour. I went on tour for three reasons – my manager booked a tour without authorization. If Slash died of heroin,  it's my fault. And Slash pushing me." 

RollingStone.com exclusive: Slash on 'closing the book on Guns N' Roses' at Hall of Fame

A quick glance at Ticketmaster reveals that plenty of seats are still available for the Las Vegas shows, which likely explains Rose's decision to agree to this interview.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, though Rose opted to not attend the ceremony. Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Steven Adler performed with Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy in Axl's place.

On Oct. 20th and 21st, Guns N' Roses will perform rare acoustic sets at Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit.

Jimmy Kimmel.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has asked his girlfriend Molly McNearney to marry him, People magazine is reporting.

The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host, 44, popped the question to McNearney, 34, while vacationing in South Africa's Kruger National Forest, People says. A rep for Kimmel confirmed the news to the mag.

McNearney is a co-head writer on the show who started dating Kimmel in 2009, People reports.

It will be the second marriage for Kimmel and first for McNearney, according to People.

Hollywood glitterati met Washington elites at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, and the joke was certainly on the night’s guests. Both President Barack Obama and featured comic Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at each other and their audience, with the lasting gag of the night being a bizarre quip on eating dogs.

"Last week we learned that the president's two favorite steaks are rib-eye and seeing-eye," Kimmel remarked during his half-hour stint. It was a pun made in reference to the revelation that Obama ate dog meat as a child in Indonesia.

Obama also took cracks at himself and the dog-eating story.

"What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?" he asked. "A pit bull is delicious."

Deemed the “chaperone” of the evening by the president, Kimmel began his act with a special edition of “This Week in Unnecessary Censorship,” a weekly parody used on his late-night talk show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Following the video montage, the comedian entertained the audience with jokes about the Secret Service, Newt Gingrich and, of course, Kim Kardashian.

On the reality star, the comedian pointed to her table and said, "If you're looking for the greatest threat to America right now, she's right there. She's Kim Kardashian. When (Obama) took office, the Kardashians had one reality show. Now they have four. This is not a good trend."

Kimmel didn’t let anyone off the hook, including the Commander-in-Chief, mocking Obama’s large ears, comparing his thin frame to the Kenyan winner of the Boston Marathon and highlighting some of the struggles he has faced during his years in the Oval Office.

"Hey, Mr. President, do you remember when the country rallied around you in hopes for a better tomorrow?" the comedian asked. "That was hilarious."

Kimmel also took a stab at Republican governor Chris Christie of New Jersey: "You might be misunderstanding the New Jersey state slogan. It's not the 'Olive' Garden State."

Additionally, the comic commented on the death of the printed word, a jest that didn’t earn so many laughs from journalists in the room, though Obama’s own quips on the Huffington Post’s Pulitzer Prize earned a rousing response from the audience. The president, who did the introductory routine before Kimmel, played upon the website’s achievement.

Congratulating Huffington Post, Obama said, “There’s no one out there linking to the kinds of hard-hitting journalism that HuffPo is linking to every single day. And you don’t pay them -- it’s a great business model!”

The president ended his routine commenting that while he did have more material, there simply was no time to use it. “I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new curfew,” he joked.

Originally a fanfare for journalists and politicians, in recent years, the WHCD has become more a celebrity-infused night of revelry, hosted each year by a popular comedian. Saturday’s event was attended by the likes of George Clooney, Goldie Hawn, Reese Witherspoon and the cast of “Modern Family” joining the nation’s journalists in a night of eating, networking and poking fun at, well, everyone.

Comedy Central

He may have just come back to "The Colbert Report" after a little vacation, but Stephen Colbert isn't finished playing with his toys. Especially his Etch A Sketch, which he noted became wildly popular in his absence, thanks to Eric Fehrnstrom.

The Mitt Romney aide noted in an interview that after the nomination, the whole election process gets shaken up and zeroed out like an Etch A Sketch. The media, and Romney's fellow campaigners, went wild.

Suddenly, noted Colbert, all of the Republican presidential candidates were wielding thetoy, which was originally placed on the market in 1960. As Rick Santorum noted, "My public policy isn't written on an Etch A Sketch. It's written on my heart.

Aww. The problem, said Colbert, is that "the only way to read what's written on Rick Santorum's heart is with a trans-vaginal ultrasound."

But for all of the waving around of toys, everyone knew what Fehrnstrom really meant, said Colbert. "He’s just saying that a candidate will say anything to get the nomination, then say anything to get elected, then say anything to get a second term, then stand on principle. For six months, until he’s a lame duck. You know, courage!”

And in the end, the Etch A Sketch comment has done one thing Romney has been promising: It has boosted business and brought back the economy ... at the Etch A Sketch factory, where sales of the toy are apparently booming.

Santorum was the subject of discussion over at "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" But the host was pointing to something a little less child-friendly in relation to the candidate: His newly-revealed potty-mouth.

After a recent speech in which Santorum noted that Mitt Romney was the worst Republican in the country to put up against President Obama, a reporter asked him about it -- and an uncharacteristically feisty, slightly sweaty Santorum bit back: "Will you guys quit distorting what I say? ... If I see it, it's bull----. Come on, man. What are you doing?"

Kimmel joked, "Juice makes him grumpy," then brought on Santorum's "brother," L. Brent, who defended his sibling: "The lamestream media loves a good story, even when that story is a fairytale," he said. "My brother has not and would not ever use profanity. It's against the Holy Bible and the Santorum family code."

So what did L. Brent actually think his "brother" said?

Twitter has some incredible benefits, as Jimmy Kimmel of "Late Night with Jimmy Kimmel," noted in a monologue earlier this week -- namely that fans can usually get directly in touch with their idols.

Alas, he pointed out, so can the haters. But that won't stop him from mining some comedy out of those negative tweets, so in honor of Twitter's 6th birthday, he assembled several famous Twitter users to read aloud some of the worst tweets that have ever fluttered into their lives.

Comedy gold ensues, of a somewhat foul-mouthed variety -- on both the part of the celebrity, and the "fan."

(Warning: Vulgar language is featured, and sometimes bleeped, in the clip.)

Last night on “Late Night with David Letterman," "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart sat down with Letterman to talk politics.  First they discussed President Obama and former President Bush (the second one, that is), comparing them to two different types of elementary school students -- you know, the one who reads the book before class and the one who doesn’t.

Eventually, they got around to Mitt Romney, and Stewart confessed he feels bad for the guy. He says Romney has issues with being an Average Joe, and he doesn’t come off authentic enough for voters. “He’s like pixels,” Stewart says, “when you look at him closely, it’s probably all zeros and ones.”

While on the subject, Letterman had to mention the whole Romney dog-on-the-car-roof debacle. (For those who may not remember, a 30-year old story Romney once told The Boston Globe resurfaced during the campaign; Romney recounted a 12-hour road trip to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car in a special kennel.) Clearly, dog-lover Letterman feels strongly about the 1983 incident because it keeps coming back up.

On “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” we got to see another late-night personality sit down with Leno -- HBO’s “Real Time” guy Bill Maher. The GOP candidate of choice this time was Rick Santorum.

“He’s a little too conservative for me,” Maher quipped. “He thinks life begins at erection.” (There's a reason Maher's show is on HBO, and not broadcast or basic cable.) After wondering what the GOP hopeful got for Valentine’s Day, Maher went on to talk about the social issues that could hurt Santorum’s chances of being elected.

And then on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Kimmel talked about the new Romney attack ad from the Santorum camp. Kimmel offers what he would do if he were Romney -- he would re-voice the ad, and get right to the guts of Santorum’s campaign. (Note: Video has bleeped-out vulgarities.)

On Wednesday, "The Colbert Report" abruptly suspended production for what appears to be the rest of the week. A letter sent out to audience members (and Tweeted by at least one) indicated that "due to unforeseen circumstances we have canceled our taping for the date of your ticket reservation." Colbert Nation now lists reruns in lieu of fresh Colbert content.
