In the middle of his final quandary, he was interrupted by a phone call from the former Tonight Show host.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jay&#8217;s printing a 3D-printed toilet seat for me,&#8221; Ford explained.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Martin had questions. Mainly, why?<\/p>\n<p>The Shrinking actor said that he has a toilet in his Wyoming home that has an &#8220;unattractive&#8221; and discolored seat. The model he has was discontinued, so Ford tried for years to find a replacement seat, to no avail. Even his friends in the plumbing industry couldn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<p>Ford had remembered that Leno owned a 3D printer, which the movie star had seen in the comedian&#8217;s garage many years ago. The Star Wars actor said it was &#8220;really hard&#8221; to call in the favor, considering he hadn&#8217;t seen Leno recently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He embraced the project in a way that I thought I never could have imagined,&#8221; Ford said. &#8220;People appeared from the depths, out of the shadows, and they got involved in it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"Paul Drinkwater\/NBCU Photo Bank\/NBCUniversal via Getty Harrison Ford and Jay Leno on the 'Tonight Show' on June 4, 2003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/cd18b9eec810b7455746e9cd1cc69916.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Paul Drinkwater\/NBCU Photo Bank\/NBCUniversal via Getty<\/p>\n<p> Harrison Ford and Jay Leno on the &#8216;Tonight Show&#8217; on June 4, 2003<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sign up for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.dotdashmeredith.com\/ew-tv-inline-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly&#039;s;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly&#8217;s<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.dotdashmeredith.com\/ew-tv-inline-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\u00a0free daily newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\u00a0free daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Martin asked if the seat would be functional or if it was &#8220;just for aesthetics.&#8221; Ford confirmed that he was planning on actually using the seat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is going to be the toilet seat in my office,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>New toilet seat aside, this has been a big year for Ford \u2014 six decades into show business.
