Harrison Ford described his experience on 'Shrinking' as "one of the most pleasurable experiences of my life." As he discussed his portrayal of a character with Parkinson's disease, Ford shared his sense of responsibility, saying he approached the role with "ambition and pure terror." Michael J. Fox, a surprise guest at the event, praised Ford's performance, stating, "He had to prove to me that he had Parkinson’s — he nailed it."

The evening was filled with humor and heartfelt moments, including a memorable quip from sitcom veteran Ted McGinley. He humorously differentiated himself from his character, Derek, noting his own road rage tendencies: "I’m always worried that someone’s going to say, ‘Oh my god, Derek just gave me the finger!’ I can’t help it, I live in L.A." Michael J. Fox's presence added a layer of nostalgia and camaraderie, especially when Harrison Ford warmly embraced his old friend.
