She mentioned his iconic roles such as Han Solo, where he always portrays a character who appears to be reluctant or uninterested.

Moving on to her time on The Daily Show, Jessica reminisced about getting hired for the job while she was still in college.

Throughout the interview, Jessica showcased her quick wit and sense of humor. She shared funny anecdotes about her family, including how her mom texts using formal language and how texting with anyone over 65 stresses her out. Despite working closely with Harrison Ford, they don’t communicate outside of filming, mainly because Jessica prefers not to text older people.
