The refresher course was not put together in vain. Matt Damon did a full-on takeover of Jimmy Kimmel Live last night in what was a spectacularly organized star-studded affair. Enough credit cannot be given to Damon for going full bore at this thing and pulling it off rather effortlessly. F*ck, that guy is talented.
All you really need to know is that it was pretty great and everyone talked about how much Jimmy sucks. But if you’re interested in going a little deeper here are all the relevant clips as well as my four favorite lines from Damon’s monologue:
- “Is it weird to see a person with actual talent host this show?”
- “This is like when I lost my virginity, except this is going to last way longer than one second.”
- “I am Luke Skywalker and Kimmel is the Death Star: big and round and easily destroyed through his garbage hole.”
- “Jimmy Kimmel is to late night talk show hosts what Magic Johnson is… to late night talk show hosts.”
And now for everything else you need to know…
Also, Sheryl Crow took over as band leader. Garcia’s Guillermo kills btw.
With terrible Siri jokes.
The end.
