#5: Appearance on Jonathan Ross
Although she played many roles over the years, unquestionably her most famous was that of Princess Leia Organa in the Star Wars franchise. When appearing on this British talk show, “The Jonathan Ross Show,” naturally the host asked about it, but also making an interesting point about the Britishness of the actor, David Prowse, who actually played Darth Vader. Along with her cheeky co-guest, comedian Russell Howard, they recreate a famous bit of dialogue with Vader speaking the West Country accent Prowse would have spoken with on set. Carrie as usual is on-point, and doesn’t take any sassy ribbing.
#4: The Late Show Appearance
Over the years, Stephen Colbert might have dropped a hint or two that he is a “Star Wars” fan. So, when he got to host Carrie Fisher – THE Princess Leia – on his show, the excitement and respect was palatable. Having met previously, the two share memories, and it’s not long before Carrie and her legendary wit, humor, and frankness has both the audience and the comedian in stitches – say nothing of her amazing dog Gary! Over the course of the interview, she discusses her then latest book, personal stories from the set of Star Wars, and some surprising “other” Star Wars revelations as only Carrie Fisher could.
#3: Appearance on Ellen
What’s better than one quick-witted, hilarious woman? Two in conversation, of course. While a guest of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Carrie talks hairstyles and Harrison. In her book, “The Princess Diarist,” she revealed to the world that Leia and Han had some off-camera action as well. Later, they play Fishing for Answers with Carrie Fisher, where Carrie offers life advice to women in the audience. Not one to mince words, Carrie’s guidance is blunt but no less wise.
#2: The Roast of George Lucas
In 2005, director, writer and producer George Lucas was being honored at the AFI Life Achievement Awards. To make a speech, Carrie Fisher was selected. What follows is an incredible roast, as from word one she makes loving jabs at the man responsible for Star Wars – and ruining her life in the nicest possible way. With snark, cheek, and courage, Carrie is as self-deprecating as she is savage, and when she delivers compliments about Lucas’ contribution to film and culture, you can tell it comes from the heart. With the audiences already busting ribs, she brings down the house with her concluding remarks. Miss Fisher, we didn’t deserve you.
