Matt has become the big star and yet he's humble, he's a husband and he's a dad, and he makes me feel like he is a normal guy that's great at his occupation, thanks Matt I enjoy your work
Here is the history for you, thank me later. The feud between these two ionic stars Kimmel and Damon doesn't make it interesting it all. In its 12 years, the bit has evolved from an improvised one-liner to a series of elaborate segments, resulting in one of the most popular late night gags ever.It all began during the third season of Jimmy Kimmel Live! when the host off-handedly ended a discouraging show by apologizing to Damon for bumping him from the episode. After the joke got a laugh from one of his producers, he started doing it every night. "We had a bad show. The guests were bad, and I was feeling pretty bad about myself at the end of the program," Kimmel told NPR in 2013. "And I decided to say, for the amusement of one of our producers who was standing next to me … 'I want to apologize to Matt Damon. We ran out of time.' … And he got a kick out of it, the producer, so I just started doing it every night to amuse him." Kimmel went on to explain that there was no particular reason he chose the Bourne actor."Matt Damon was just the first name that popped into my head. I was trying to think of an A-list star, and somebody we absolutely would not bump if he was on the show. … The legs on this bit are unbelievable to me. I mean, people laugh every time I say it. … Repeating the same joke every single night, you’d think eventually people would get tired of it, but they don’t." After this went on for around a year, Damon was invited to appear on a 2006 Live! primetime special for a staged fight with Kimmel. "I knew you were going to f-king do it," Damon shouted as the credits rolled. "Oh, big funny, big f-king laugh!" In 2007, Kimmel decided to pay Damon back for his onscreen blowup by enlisting his sidekick Guillermo to oust the actor from his own movie, The Bourne Ultimatum. The bit really found its legs in 2008 when Kimmel's then-girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, and Damon teamed up to create the viral music video genius that was "I'm F-king Matt Damon." Silverman appeared on Live! to present the song to Kimmel as a surprise, resulting in a clip that has been watched more than 14 million times on TH-cam. The response in 2009: Kimmel couldn't resist clapping back with a similar video in 2009, starring the special someone in Damon's life, Ben Affleck. During a 2010 Academy Awards night sketch in which Kimmel was voted out of The Handsome Men's Club by the likes of stars such as Matthew McConaughey, Rob Lowe and even Affleck, it was revealed that Damon was the mastermind behind his eviction. In 2013, three years later Damon found a way to get the airtime he felt he deserved - by hijacking Kimmel's hosting gig renaming the show Jimmy Kimmel Sucks. After the takeover episode, Damon was invited to guest on the show with the cast of The Monuments Men. However, when Kimmel eventually got around to asking him a legitimate question, the fire alarm mysteriously went off before he could answer. The duo eventually attempted to work through their differences in a session of couples counseling in 2015 - it was unsuccessful. So Kimmel was all the more fired up when Affleck snuck Damon onto the Live! stage after the 2016 Oscars. Damon went undercover to reignite the feud in July, disguising himself in a mullet and sunglasses to infiltrate a segment in which Kimmel's Aunt Chippy was playing blackjack to win money for Live!'s studio audience. Following that incident, the pair returned to couples therapy in a last-ditch attempt to salvage their relationship. But when Kimmel took offense to comments Damon made about him to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, the rivalry raged on. Damon bounced back quickly, launching an attack ad against Kimmel's vice presidential campaign that the Live! host denounced during an August episode. He then followed that up with a surprise appearance onstage at the Kimmel-hosted Emmys to taunt his nemesis about his loss to Last Week Tonight's John Oliver in the Outstanding Variety Talk Series category. And most recently...After Kimmel expressed his hope for Damon to lose at the 2017 Oscars - which the late night pundit is hosting - the actor retaliated once again by disguising himself as Tom Brady to sneak onto Live! following the New England Patriots' win at Super Bowl LI.
wolverineiscool he was probably busy since y'know... he's an actor. Also it's the fact that he got in which is saying something not the fact that dropped out. Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard cause he didn't need it, and look where he is now
Amal H yes but march zucherberg invented fb and matt damon...invented nothing, just an actor....but a good one for sure and also bill gates invented microsoft who was also a harvard dropout
AlexBarck the story is complete shit and their accents are a little funny, but overall I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I watched reviews beforehand and thought it was going to be complete shit but I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it. I'd say watch it or at least wait and rent it.
I was already very excited about the Oscars this year because of Jimmy presenting mostly, now I don't know how I will wait for another 10 days. this pretend feud is the best thing on earth
varun reddy Mothe yeah he went to Harvard for biology or something which is where he wrote the first draft of Good Will Hunting. He dropped out of Harvard to become an actor and to work on Good Will Hunting
It took me a long time to get over that role he did once where he kills his friend and takes over his identity or something. It was scary as hell, but I like him now.
I won't believe George is gonna become a dad until Amal actually gives birth. he's one of those people who would mess with his fans like that. I'm onto you, Clooney.
I AM HELLA CONFUSED!! He said at the beginning that he had three kids ages 10, 8 and 6. Then Ellen later said he had one going to college, and he mentioned Clooney saying Matt had four kids. Wikipedia says he only has three. Does he have a secret child they let slip??
Matt on the movie: I don't think I'll ever do it again (knows there won't be a sequel). Ellen on the movie: Well you never know (always optimistic) 😂 XD
Matt Damon is just one of those actors that's talented, charming and just has a genuine awesomeness to him.
Musicc Passionn true !
who are the others?
Hugh Jackman is pretty awesome as well
who?
Totally agree !!
Matt has become the big star and yet he's humble, he's a husband and he's a dad, and he makes me feel like he is a normal guy that's great at his occupation, thanks Matt I enjoy your work
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!
Hope he confronts Jimmy at the Oscars just like he did at the Emmys... really excited for the Oscars :D
Sriranjani Kalimani of course he will. 😂😂
i hope he throws that half eaten apple from the emmy's at jimmy. 😂😂
Sriranjani Kalimani it's all for fun!❤️
TheLeigha72 Haha I know! but it's incredibly funny xD
it's more likely the reverse is gonna happen this time. would make more sense
that would be hilarious
Matt Damon has always been a favorite actor of mine. He's so perfect, a great family man, amazing wife, stellar kids!
I love how dedicated he is to the Jimmy Kimmel feud even off the show. Fucking hilarious.
I love the fake rivalry between Matt D and Jimmy K. True celebrity banter.
excuse me but its not fake, its real...very real.
wolverineiscool I know it is
Matthew Harrold Why did it start in the first place?

He's seems so.. intellectual!
Utkarsh Yadav he went to Harvard if that says something!
and he dropped out of harvard if that says more
wolverineiscool he was probably busy since y'know... he's an actor. Also it's the fact that he got in which is saying something not the fact that dropped out. Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard cause he didn't need it, and look where he is now
Amal H
yes but march zucherberg invented fb and matt damon...invented nothing, just an actor....but a good one for sure and also bill gates invented microsoft who was also a harvard dropout
Exactly, so what I'm saying is that him being a dropout doesn't mean he's not a failure unless that's what you mean too?
Mat'ts and Jimmy's feud is the greatest thing ever!!

"It's a big popcorn movie" is actor for "it's a bad movie but you should see it anyways"
AlexBarck it's good tho
Haven't seen it but it looks terrible
AlexBarck the story is complete shit and their accents are a little funny, but overall I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I watched reviews beforehand and thought it was going to be complete shit but I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it. I'd say watch it or at least wait and rent it.
Can't get enough of this guy
I was already very excited about the Oscars this year because of Jimmy presenting mostly, now I don't know how I will wait for another 10 days. this pretend feud is the best thing on earth

I don't know what just happened but I had to laugh really hard at that "How old are your kids?" joke :D
I'm sorry about the logistics of it, but Matt Damon with those long luscious hair..? ME GA FAN TA STIC!!!
He's so funny!!!
I'm a twin! I get so happy when other people have twins! haha
Yup , twins 👯 are challenging but sooooo worth it, love my girls 🥰
The title of this video is so misleading, I expected to see Matt Damon ON George Clooney BECOMING a dad.
LeoGotHisOscar I hope you have seen The Departed Matt and Leo
What's inside the TH-cam channel should come there!
Maaaaaat Damon (team America)
LITTLE JIMMYYYYYY!!
MATT DAMON
Ellen's laugh is contagious.

Amanda Wong Happy Birthday Ronan... (Belated)
I AM HELLA CONFUSED!! He said at the beginning that he had three kids ages 10, 8 and 6. Then Ellen later said he had one going to college, and he mentioned Clooney saying Matt had four kids. Wikipedia says he only has three. Does he have a secret child they let slip??
2:56

Matt on the movie: I don't think I'll ever do it again (knows there won't be a sequel).
Ellen on the movie: Well you never know (always optimistic) 😂 XD
Matt is funny,nice to know
he's so funny omg
beyonce is overrated
i agree
Na sn tbh I don't get America's obsession with her
20 years of hits is overrated i guess
I think your obsessed if you mentioning beyonce in a matt damon interview
Na sn I see what you did there😂
This is just a suggestion but I would really want to see iisuperwomanii on your show 😁 like if you agree
