In case anyone is wondering, no Ford was not on an episode of Leave It to Beaver. He was never a child actor, and didn't begin acting in Hollywood until years later.
man this feels like another lifetime ago, can't believe I was 15 when this aired. Harrison Ford is definitely still one of my all time fave actors. His dry humor is fantastic.
Agreed, and I am thrilled that the producers of Shrinking (Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, Jason Segal) decided to take advantage of his stealthy wit by casting him in the show.
The role on Leave it to Beaver was actually played by Buddy Joe Hooker, who went on to become one of the top stunt drivers in Hollywood. He did car stunts for (among others) White Line Fever, Hooper, all of the Lethal Weapon movies, Jade, Against All Odds, To Live and Die in LA, Gone in 60 Seconds (the remake), and Death Proof.
I noticed they advertised a real/good (also really good) "Indiana Jones" movie on this video. Hard to believe I was in 2nd grade when this aired and my dad took me to the midnight showing of that movie as it was the night before the last day of school. Great memories.
I'll always remember how Ford cowered under Calista Flockharts dress at the 2002 Academy Awards when Michael Moore was on the stage commenting about Bush.
That corroborates Internet research. A fun fact about Buddy Hart: As Bachelor #2, he won a date with Farrah Fawcett the one time she appeared on The Dating Game. Farrah was introduced as "an accomplished artist and sculptress, she hopes to open her own studio."
@@augustvong7057 Actually, not a cameraman. The camera dude captures a moment when Jim Morrison says hello to “Harry “ (Harrison Ford) who is building or dismantling a stage. You can find it by looking up “Doors, Harrison Ford”.
Harrison was in TV shows early on in his career, not Leave it to Beaver. I loved him since I was a young girl. I want to wish Harrison a very Happy Birthday today. Harrison, you're the best. Love You Always! ❤️
Harrison Ford did not play Chester Anderson in Leave It To Beaver. That part was played by Buddy Joe Hooker. Buddy and Harrison are the same age & look a lot like each other.
If we have to have celebrity presidents, why can't it be guys like Harrison Ford. He pilots planes, he is a great carpenter and has the whole movie star thing going. He is way more presidential than that orange criminal.
According to the IMDb his earliest roles both uncredited were a bellboy pager in the movie Dead Heat on a Merry Go Round 1966 and a "irate motorist" in the movie Luv in 1967. He then did episodes of Gunsmoke, The Virginian, The FBI and Love American Style among others.
that made me curious to know who that kid was. I looked up the Leave it to Beaver episode. it said his name's Buddy Joe Hooker and was billed as Buddy Hart.
Letterman, it's called "chomping at the bit", not "clamoring at the bit". It's an equestrian reference about a horse that's eager to run. Horses don't clamor and they certainly don't clamor at the bit. For the unaware like Letterman, the bit is the metal mouthpiece to which the reins attach. The reins are line strips of brain-tanned leather which aid guidance. No. There are no turn signals in a horse, David. You simply pull one rein. Tugging right ribbon of ribbon notifies the horse to turn right. Vice-versa for the left rein. I'd hate to only know city life. It must be sad.
Remakes don't replace anything. Alternate movies aren't replacements. Stop trying to control the world and pretending anyone was victimized or any wrong has been done.
That was a great Beaver episode. Beaver found out the water was going to be shut off, so he collected and sold water around the neighborhood. And you never that people would pay for water in a container.
Harrison has such great dry sense of humor and that's what makes his interviews delightful.
He's cool- (a rare commodity these days).
“I poison stuff” was such quick wit. As was “It troubles me now!”
In case anyone is wondering, no Ford was not on an episode of Leave It to Beaver. He was never a child actor, and didn't begin acting in Hollywood until years later.
They preferred Chevrolet.
Or so we think.
Buddy Hart aka Buddy Joe Hooker was Chester Anderson
@@dosmundos3830 that was his old name before he changed it to Harrison Ford.
@@jahimjauh-hey5653 🤡
He seems so genuine and down to earth.
He's acting.
@@bobfromdenison Uh-huh, AND he seems so natural and at ease while doing it.
Even David Letterman is star struck by this American legend. Harrison is and always will be the man.
And that man is a $hitty pilot!
sorry that place is reserved for clint eastwood
man this feels like another lifetime ago, can't believe I was 15 when this aired. Harrison Ford is definitely still one of my all time fave actors. His dry humor is fantastic.
I was 16. Damn.
Harrison Ford is one of the funniest guests on any talk show WITHOUT trying too hard to impress or for the sake of being funny!
Agreed, and I am thrilled that the producers of Shrinking (Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, Jason Segal) decided to take advantage of his stealthy wit by casting him in the show.
No, the funniest is Johnathan Winters and Robin Williams. Ford is cool but not the funniest.
Truely A Living Legend! 😊👊✊🍁
5:12 "I fish a little bit, but I don't hunt."
**crowd cheers**
Poor 'ol fishes, so low on the "care" scale.
5:00 That's the only time I've seen HF laugh hard in my life!
I love how Harrison was still willing to smile and laugh in interviews in the 90's --- by 2000, he was pretty much a full time grouch
He was acting.
Pre-earring vs. post-earring Ford.
@@deanladue5367 wow I didn't know about paying out $85 million in a divorce --- no wonder he was a grouch LOL
if you watch any of his dial of destiny interviews, he is back to his smiling/laughing self
Up until then it was "part time".

The 1995 version of Sabrina was superbly done. So romantic. And her haircut what is the rate of the 90s.
I like how Dave asks Harrison if he saw any goats, when he's straight-up looking right at the GOAT.
Was he the GOAT yet in 1995?
One of the few guests where you can tell Letterman is clearly respecting and even a bit in awe of.
I noticed they advertised a real/good (also really good) "Indiana Jones" movie on this video. Hard to believe I was in 2nd grade when this aired and my dad took me to the midnight showing of that movie as it was the night before the last day of school. Great memories.
The isolationist, Henry David Thoreau, live one hundred yards from a railroad track.
Leave it to Indy
I'll always remember how Ford cowered under Calista Flockharts dress at the 2002 Academy Awards when Michael Moore was on the stage commenting about Bush.
Points for including a “Last Crusade” ad!
Turns out he WAS in a documentary called "The Immortal Beaver."
Buddy Hart (now known as Buddy Joe Hooker) played Chester Anderson on 15 episodes of Leave it To Beaver.
That corroborates Internet research. A fun fact about Buddy Hart: As Bachelor #2, he won a date with Farrah Fawcett the one time she appeared on The Dating Game. Farrah was introduced as "an accomplished artist and sculptress, she hopes to open her own studio."
Wow I always tell people that Harrison Ford was in an episode of leave it to Beaver.. now I feel like a fool..😅
Indiana Jones and the Beaver of Destiny!
The FIRST appearance Harrison Ford made on film was with Jim Morrison who refers to him as "Harry" (the stage-builder)...
Wasn't Ford a camera-man on the tour with The Doors?
@@augustvong7057 Actually, not a cameraman. The camera dude captures a moment when Jim Morrison says hello to “Harry “ (Harrison Ford) who is building or dismantling a stage. You can find it by looking up “Doors, Harrison Ford”.
6:10 "Don't send me one." --Harrison
"All right. You won't get a goat from me." -- David .... LOL 😂🤣

Haha!! I don’t hunt!! I poison stuff!😂👍
Now I can pic6 Calista & Harrison playing shoot'em'up on their horses out on the ranch.
Ford is the man!
I’m happy to at least know Dave went through what we youngsters call a “Jimmy Fallon Laugh” phase.
How about SNAKES on his Ranch?! Has Harrison seen any SNAKES? He hates SNAKES!!
He doesn't hate snakes, but he hated having the tarantulas crawl on him in Raiders.
Harrison Ford did not play Chester Anderson in Leave It To Beaver. That part was played by Buddy Joe Hooker. Buddy and Harrison are the same age & look a lot like each other.
Dave's tie is MASSIVE
date says 95 why is the ad for last crusade which was 89?
God I miss this show. Dave and Johnny Carson were the best...nobody today comes close.
They turn that book into IMDB :D
And then fix the mistakes.
"Don't send me a goat" sounds like he's taking the bit too seriously, but Dave did gift Conan an unwanted horse.
Don't forget, Johnny Carson stole Letterman's pick-up.
Harrison Ford ALSO is where Dave got his first car.
I know exactly which kid everyone thinks was Ford. He definitely looked like he could've been a young Ford.
If we have to have celebrity presidents, why can't it be guys like Harrison Ford. He pilots planes, he is a great carpenter and has the whole movie star thing going. He is way more presidential than that orange criminal.
Harrison was also in Gunsmoke and Love American Style. Pretty green then. LOL
I was wondering why I didn’t remember this airing and looking at the date, I just got my license and car.
According to the IMDb his earliest roles both uncredited were a bellboy pager in the movie Dead Heat on a Merry Go Round 1966 and a "irate motorist" in the movie Luv in 1967. He then did episodes of Gunsmoke, The Virginian, The FBI and Love American Style among others.
Crazy that Letterman doesn’t mention “The Conversation” and “Apocalypse Now.”
Something against Coppola here?
“Let me tell you. They always treat you right at Harrison Ford.”
I understood that reference
@@moviefan8533 very few do. 😀
that made me curious to know who that kid was. I looked up the Leave it to Beaver episode. it said his name's Buddy Joe Hooker and was billed as Buddy Hart.
The band started playing Van Halen's Finish What Ya Started at the end of this interview. I'd recognize that opening riff and drum beat anywhere.
Harrison Ford once retweeted a photo I'd taken of my Women and Children First vinyl hanging on my wall. I wonder if he likes Van Halen.
I think Dave's onto something about this Ford guy being cool.
Awsome…wish I could tell him myself
This could be historic because it was probably the last time that Harrison Ford was on television completely sober
In 1958, Harrison Ford was just an AV nerd at Maine East High School!
Ryan O'Neal was on Leave it to Beaver.
Kept reseating himself like he had to let one go.
Dunno about Leave It to Beaver, but he was on Gunsmoke.
Why did Dave list off Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back but not Return of The Jedi? This was 1995, so it's not like RotJ hadn't come out yet.
He spent half the movie as a coffee table; that's not acting.
As far as movies go you forgot to list Harrison Ford in the movie Air Force One
I remember seeing an episode of Leave it to Beaver with Ford in it .
Then you remember nothing because he was never really on that show!
Actually, you remember Buddy Joe Hooker.
It was Buddy Joe Hooker who played Chester
The ears were all wrong ! The fist thing i saw him in was Apocalypse Now !
It's great to see Harrison being a bit goofy
I have no idea what women found so good about Harrison Ford. They all might need glasses.
Actually, the show ford was in was called "Leave It, It's Beaver"...
We'll be right back with Bonnie Hunt.
I'd love to be so Rich as to able to have like 3 houses. One in South Carolina, New York City, and another in Florida or Nevada.
Sabrina 1995 is not even Close to the Wilder-Bogart-Holden-Hepburn classic which was, and remains, a huge hit
Letterman, it's called "chomping at the bit", not "clamoring at the bit". It's an equestrian reference about a horse that's eager to run. Horses don't clamor and they certainly don't clamor at the bit.

Originally it was "champing at the bit."
Sydney Pollack is gone now, but he was a great director and I thought he was great in Eyes Wide Shut.
I think that was Stanley Kubrick.
@@ArtificialBananaPollack acted in Eyes Wide Shut. He was an Academy Award winning director himself.
He's great in Husbands and Wives, too.
I think he hated being in it because Kubrick did a million takes
lol. The "goat" concern from Harrison Ford is quite valid since Dave sent Conan O'Brien a horse.
This is Late Show, not Late Night like it says in the description. Dave left late night in 93
Nobody can replace Audrey Hepburn in ANYTHING!
Remakes don't replace anything. Alternate movies aren't replacements. Stop trying to control the world and pretending anyone was victimized or any wrong has been done.
Harrison Ford is reprising the HUMPHREY BOGART role in SABRINA,I do believe.
That's what they said.
Buddy Joe Hooker was Chester Anderson.
He’s done so much work
Harrison and Dave are legends. The "Sabrina" remake is horrendous.
Chester on Leave It to Beaver was actually played by Future Hollywood Stunt Driver Buddy Joe hooker
Every time I used to see Steve Martin I used to think of him as a funny Harrison Ford.
And Dan Fogerty is the musical Harrison Ford! 😂
2:45 "acting opereendaaaiiiii" ???? poor latin....
Funny guy 😂
Dave likes to exaggerate!
That was a great Beaver episode. Beaver found out the water was going to be shut off, so he collected and sold water around the neighborhood. And you never that people would pay for water in a container.
It's actually champing at the bit.
I'm a huge Cabin Boy fan. And Death to Smootchy is sublime.
Hilarious
hi
These were his grumpy days.
He was cool yeah, but, then he started landing on taxiways. You know just missing 737's in his Beaver!
Considering what nasty old Dave was up to, this one didn't age well.
Ford looks very nervous. Cool?
I loved the remake if Sabrina it was a great cast
Seems like Ford doesn’t like talking about money and material well-being. May be he finds it rude, may be he’s old-fashioned like that.
I have loved his characters in movies, but ugh. Just don't see any charm at all in his real life character.
more Hollywood's clowns
Harrison Ford, class-A draft dodger supreme, you are in the same boat as Hanoi Jane Fonda.
Yawn
I like beaver.
