Harrison Ford stopped by the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to talk about his new Apple TV+ show Shrinking and paid his co-star Jason Segel the biggest compliment.
Ford said Segel had a "nice penis."
In their first project together Ford plays Dr. Paul Rhodes, the head of the Cognitive Behavioral Center where Segel's character Jimmy Laird works.
Jimmy suffers from grief after tragically losing his wife. He continues working at the practice where he breaches ethical barriers by giving patients unfiltered advice, causing major disruptions to everyone's lives.
When Colbert asked Ford to explain about a headline alleging Ford didn't know who Segel was before signing on to work together on Shrinking, the iconic Raiders of the Lost Ark actor emphatically stated:
"Not true."
"I knew who he was. I had seen a couple of films he was in."
When Ford paused trying to get the title of one of Segel's films off the tip of his tongue as an example, Colbert extended a lifeline by mentioning Segel's 2008 comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, to which Ford responded by saying he "forgot that it was Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
Ford explained he watched Sarah Marshall again recently.
And when he was asked by his executive producer of Shrinking what he thought of the movie, Ford mentioned an unforgettable moment from the film in which Segel gave full frontal nudity.
Ford said:
"Nice penis."

\u201cNever\u2026ever\u2026did I *ever* expect to hear Harrison Ford, the man, the myth, the legend, say, \u201cNice penis!\u201d\n\nBut, tonight, on @StephenAtHome , those exact words fell out of his mouth!\n\nI really reeeeallly love him!!\u201d— KimberleySkye\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 (@KimberleySkye\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6) 1675315516
The audience lost it over his specific takeaway from watching the comedy written by Segel and co-produced by Judd Apatow.
You can watch the clip here:
Staying on the topic of Segel's anatomy, Colbert asked while pretending to read a question off his cue card:
"Does your knowledge of Jason Segel's penis have anything to do with the name of the show, Shrinking?"
Realizing his mischievous host came up with the question on the fly, Ford laughed and replied:
"Nothing at all."
Online, one Twitter user jokingly referred to a character from then child actor Ke Huy Quan from Ford's 1984 Raiders sequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Colbert complimented him for his positive observation and suggested he tell Segel, to which Ford—after entertaining the thought—said:
"That's not gonna happen."
But now that it's out there, Segel is probably blushing somewhere after officially knowing he made such a huge impression on his co-star.
Now an octogenarian, Ford will be reprising his role as Indy after four decades since making the first film.
The upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be the fifth installment in the epic adventure franchise.
It is scheduled for a June 30 theatrical release.
Shrinking is currently streaming on Apple TV+ with new episodes released every week.
