Carrie Fisher's Likeness
Carrie Fisher was on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last night. For my money, Ferguson is the best late-night talk-show host we've got -- Letterman and Leno are both way past their sell-bys, and I have never really warmed to Kimmel or Conan. Craig, though, is a hoot with his self-deprecating streak and naughty attitude, and Carrie is much the same; put the two of them together, and it's guaranteed entertainment. Most of last night's segment consisted of Craig giving her a bad time for having played Princess Leia in Star Wars and how, 30 years later, that's still what she's best known for. Carrie gave as good as she got, though; her funniest line, and the one I want to share with you now, was this:
George [Lucas] owns my likeness, you know. That means everytime I look in the mirror I have to send him a couple of bucks.
Ah, good times, although I imagine Carrie's delivery is better than mine. If I can find a video clip, I'll post it up...
