Was she any good?
I know I'll get laughed at, but I cringe when you have bad guests who try to be funny when they are not. Nothing wrong with not being funny if you contribute in other ways or simply say nothing.

snapped up,simply because of the new Star Wars
films, and the fact that she was over here,and was
presumably available? She added nothing to the
show for me, and was simply filling the fourth seat!

She is always 'good value' on programmes like that.
Similarly I got really annoyed by Carr.
I thought Carrie Fisher was good value considering she (like most Americans) isn't au fait with British humour. She seems to be prepared to have fun. The only other time I've seen her away from Star Wars was in Big Bang Theory when she was in the same episode as James Earl Jones.
Actually, I thought she looked just like most 58 year-olds do, as opposed to most people in her profession who have spent almost all of their adult lives desperately trying to look younger than they are, in many cases through surgery after surgery.
Look at this picture of Nicole Kidman taken last year when she was 46. Can you tell me that she looks good for her age?

She looks so unnatural and for what? Nobody is going to ask her to play 20- or 30-somethings any more so why do it?
Women (and men) who age gracefully are far more beautiful than those who are faking it.
Julie Christie looks so good and Helen Mirren, Judi Dench etc, I'm presuming they've had no work done.
Which was the first time they had met because James was in a sound booth doing his lines.
When they finally met on BBT as they approached each other Carrie said: 'Dad!'
As others have said she is darn smart for someone who was snorting coke with John Belushi (and Robin Williams) the night before Belushi died and who Fisher said even Belushi said she had a coke problem!
She understands the impact Star Wars has and embraces it.
Yeah she was in his documentary about Bi-Polar.
