Comedian Connor Ratliff has opened up about his favourite celebrity guests on The George Lucas Show and revealed that Hollywood actress Rachel Zeigler called him whilst she was presenting at the Oscars.
The George Lucas Talk Show is an improvised talk show in New York City hosted by Connor, who appears in character as “retired filmmaker George Lucas”, the creator of Star Wars, and he interviews real guests as themselves in a panel format.
Connor hosts guests such as Seth Meyers, Weird Al, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Hamm, Kevin Smith, Peter Serafinowicz, David Harbour and has also spoken to actress Rachel on a few occasions.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Connor discussed one time when he got a surprise phone call from Rachel whilst he was live on air.
Connor said: “It started off just with the very simple premise that I would pretend to be George Lucas and we would see what kind of interesting guests we would get.
“One of our favourite people is Rachel Zeigler because she came on the live stream and we booked her on the show before any of the things she had done. They’d been filmed but they hadn’t been released.
“She was immediately so funny and so open, and then we end up having her in person on the show last December, but we felt like we knew her for years.
“You know, we had done a live stream during the Oscars when she was presenting.
“We sent her the Streamyard link assuming that she would be way too busy and she immediately called us and like came on the show from backstage at the Oscars. “
Connor also explained that another one of his favourite guests was the iconic Whoopie Goldberg.
“Whoopi Goldberg was someone who like she came on the show, I assume with zero context, we were doing a charity live stream.
“I assume she just came on because she saw this for a good cause and agreed to show up.
“She was down to play along immediately.
“That’s really the most fun part of the show is when someone comes along and you know that they just get a sense of our vibe”
