Watch the Latest Matt Damon-Jimmy Kimmel Fake Feud Unfold
The hilarious Matt Damon-Jimmy Kimmel fake feud has been going on for years and the newest chapter has now been told. Last night during the Emmys, Damon interrupted host Kimmel after the award for Outstanding Variety Talk Series went to Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, not Kimmel's own Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Damon, who emerged eating an apple (you can probably guess the payoff), roasted Kimmel for being a loser. "You must be really bummed out," Damon says to Kimmel. "This is so humiliating; you lost and now you gotta stand out here for the rest of the night in front of everybody--when you probably just want to go home and curl up and cry." Damon then asks the crowd to give Kimmel a big round of applause for being a loser.
Walking off stage, Damon gets in one more jab, "Oh, hey Jimmy, tell your mom I like them apples," referencing Damon's famous line from Good Will Hunting.
The fake feud between Damon and Kimmel started when Kimmel would end his late night show by apologizing to Damon for running out of time to interview him, even though he wasn't there. Then, when Damon finally appeared on his show and sat down, Kimmel said it again, and Damon went (fake) ballistic.
Kimmel and Damon have played up the squabble for years, including with a silly couples counseling video and attack ads. Damon's friend Ben Affleck even snuck Damon onto Kimmel's shown once in his shirt.
