His hair does appear to be somewhat thinning, and he apparently doesn’t particularly care if it is neat. He doesn’t particularly look bad, though he is showing his age a little. He’s 70, so he’s in good shape.

He appears to be going for “deadpan” in that interview. That, and a bit perplexed by Jon.

It ain’t the years, honey, it’s the mileage.

If you notice, he’s _always_ been kinda deadpan. I remember seeing him on Merv Griffin or something in the '70s and his face has always shifted around slowly like that. Then when he smiles, it’s delightful, and so we smile too.

mr ford has always done bad interviews. he seems to be very uncomfortable on any show he goes on. i don’t remember ever seeing him look comfortable.

he did get a few funny things in, and did flash the smile.
