There's no question that Harrison Ford is one of Hollywood's most celebrated actors and even those who didn't follow his career from the beginning are well aware that he's best known for two iconic roles — Indiana Jones and Han Solo.

Well, it seems like talk show host Conan O'Brien might have forgotten about Ford's time in the Star Wars franchise, and as seen on a recent episode of his podcast, he needed notes to remind himself that the actor played the "stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder" in a galaxy far, far away.

During his appearance on O'Brien's Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast where he discussed his stellar acting career, Ford found out that the host wrote down "Harrison Ford - Han Solo" on his notes ahead of the interview.

As the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star began roasting the former late-night host and made jokes about his television career, O'Brien countered it by saying that while he knew Star Wars, he wasn't aware of Han Solo's existence, and the characters he can only remember are Chewbacca and Darth Vader whom he described as "the bad guy with the black helmet".

Unsurprisingly, the said clip went viral on social media. Why Conan felt the need to remind himself that Ford played Han Solo remains unclear but it's easily one of the most hilarious things you'll see this week. Check it out here:
