“He was a really sweet man, nice man, and he had a hard time physically,” Harrison, 76, told Jimmy. “It was really hard for him to do what he did for us — what he did for all of us.”

“And he did it with real dignity and class,” Harrison continued. “He was a really neat guy. I miss him.”

Harrison also traded some jokes with Jimmy and talked about starring in the upcoming animated film, The Secret Life of Pets 2, where he voices the farm dog rooster.
