Even the coronavirus can’t stop TV’s longest running joke. Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon have been at each other’s throats for years, and although Jimmy thought he exorcised the Damons from his life by quarantining at home, Jason Bourne over here found a way to claw his way back in.Three months ago, Jimmy switched his show,
Jimmy Kimmel Live!, to an at-home format amid the COVID-19 global pandemic, but it turns out, Matt has been his secret house guest this whole time, and let’s just say he’s been keeping the Kimmel family, uh, busy.
Over the past three months, it would appear Damon has been waiting eagerly to appear on the show at last, thinking perhaps NOW is the time Kimmel makes him a priority (spoiler: it's not) so when Jimmy announced he'll be taking the summer off, that was the last straw.“I've been back here three months waiting to get on!” Matt yelled, emerging from the Kimmel Home's guest bedroom in a face mask and silk robe, drinking Dos Equis (probably). You may think this is just a reference to the “
apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time” bump at the end of each and every show, but alas, there is more, because after some banter back and forth that involves ripping into Tori Spelling (for some reason), Jimmy’s wife Molly sneaks out of the guest bedroom wearing a terry cloth robe and carrying the liquor bottle.“That's my wife! Why is my wife in the room?!”“Why do you think she's in the room?”“You son of a b***h you did it again,” Jimmy sneers. That’s right,

once tried to sneak Matt on the show by strapping him to his body; Matt once took over the show by
kidnapping Jimmy and tying him to a chair, and they once tried to squash their differences by going to
couples therapy, but even just a few months ago, Kimmel was trying to get
as much dirt on Matt as possible to use as ammo for future bust-ups.And by "future," we mean fall at the earliest since Jimmy is taking the rest of the summer to “spend even more time” with his family. “I’ve been doing this job for almost 18 years. I've done 3130 shows, and there's nothing wrong, my family is healthy, I'm healthy. I just need a couple of months off,” he explained. “So while I am gone, a cavalcade of very kind and capable people will be filling in for me. I think you're going to be very happy with them. They will be guest hosting the show.” Petition to have
