The debate kicked off during Thursday’s Today episode, when Carson revealed that Harrison himself regularly gets asked who he thinks would win – Star Wars character Hans Solo or Indiana Jones.

Carson argued the topic with co-hosts Al Roker, Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie, and Hoda Kotb.

He said: “Hans Solo is a smuggler, he’s probably been in many bar brawls in Tattooine. What’s Indiana Jones, really, an archaeologist?”

Al shot back, “Yeah, but he was a fighting archaeologist.”

Carson ridiculed: “He ran from boulders.”

Savannah chimed in: “He was tough! He had that whole knife fight. Maybe he would outwit…”

Carson pointed at the group and probed: “But in a fight?”

Al said firmly: “I’m picking Indiana Jones.”

Carson joked, “All Hans would have to do is bring a snake and Indy is done.”

Al teased back: “Maybe Indy has a Wookie, I don’t know!”

Carson wasted no time getting back into the playful banter with his colleagues after returning to the Today show this week.

CARSON’S RETURN

Last week, he took off the first few days from the morning show to host the finale of The Voice.

The season finale of the singing competition was extra emotional for the TV star as it doubled as his friend Blake Shelton’s final episodes as a coach.

After celebrating the country superstar during his last moments on the reality series, Carson returned to Today on Thursday.

Upon his return to the morning show, He shared a sweet clip from The Voice finale of him surprising Blake with a hilarious gift.

He said: “And just like any other coach, when it’s time to walk away from the game, throw in the towel, pack it in and call it a day, we commemorate this big moment like any other great American athlete.

“Buddy, it is time to retire the Blake Shelton Jean Jacket.”

SWEET GIFT

The camera then panned to his jacket hanging up on the wall, with his name, The Voice, and the seasons he’d won written on it.

Carson also paid a touching tribute to Blake on Instagram on the morning of The Voice finale.

Alongside a slew of photos with the country singer, Carson wrote: “Today’s just gonna be weird! No other way to put it.

“For over 12 years I’ve watched the cowboy do his thing on @nbcthevoice & we have laughed & had fun, literally the entire time.

“Thank you buddy! Enjoy your big red chair retirement, you’ve earned it!”

Carson was missing once again on Memorial Day and replaced by Jacob Soboroff.

Along with Carson, his co-stars Hoda and Savannah were also absent.
