Jay Leno shares Harrison Ford’s reaction to receiving a 3D-printed toilet seat
Television icon Jay Leno recently shared an interesting anecdote about actor Harrison Ford during a press event for his charitable organization, The Love Ride Foundation. Leno recounted how Ford approached him with a unique request for a 3D-printed toilet seat. In an interview with PEOPLE, Leno revealed that Ford needed a replacement for an unusual and hard-to-find toilet seat in his office in Wyoming.
Leno, being the helpful friend that he is, agreed to assist Ford with his toilet seat dilemma. Ford provided Leno with the old toilet seat, and Leno took on the task of 3D printing a new one. The comedian mentioned that the entire process was straightforward and didn’t take long to complete. When Ford saw the final product, he was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the quality of the 3D-printed toilet seat. Leno humorously remarked, “So anybody that needs a 3D-printed toilet seat, let me know.”
The story of the 3D-printed toilet seat first came to light when Leno accidentally called Ford while he was a guest on an NPR interview podcast. During the call, Ford mentioned to the host that Leno was in the process of making a custom toilet seat for him using his 3D printers. Ford explained that he had been unable to find a replacement for the discolored toilet seat from a discontinued model despite various efforts, including seeking help from friends in the plumbing industry.
Despite the unusual nature of the request, both Leno and Ford seemed to find the situation amusing. Ford jokingly mentioned that it was a unique experience to reach out to Leno for assistance with his toilet seat. The actor also expressed his appreciation for Leno’s willingness to take on the project.
As for their current projects, Ford can be seen on the Paramount+ show 1923 and the AppleTV+ series Shrinking, while Leno continues to share his passion for cars on his YouTube series, Jay’s Garage. The friendship between these two Hollywood stars transcends the typical celebrity interactions and showcases a humorous and supportive dynamic between them.
