Matt Damon on George Clooney Becoming a Dad

The Oscar winner shared his thoughts on friend George Clooney's new paternal role, and couldn't help but weigh in on Jimmy Kimmel hosting the Oscars.

[@musiccpassionn7748]

Matt Damon is just one of those actors that's talented, charming and just has a genuine awesomeness to him.

[@111starseed]

Musicc Passionn true !

[@wolverineiscool7161]

[@musiccpassionn7748]

[@sriranjanikalimani9461]

Hope he confronts Jimmy at the Oscars just like he did at the Emmys... really excited for the Oscars :D

[@R0Zoro]

Sriranjani Kalimani of course he will. 😂😂 i hope he throws that half eaten apple from the emmy's at jimmy. 😂😂

[@LightworkBeacon]

Sriranjani Kalimani it's all for fun!❤️

[@sriranjanikalimani9461]

TheLeigha72 Haha I know! but it's incredibly funny xD

[@quanganhvu6791]

it's more likely the reverse is gonna happen this time. would make more sense

[@joffrey1200]

that would be hilarious

[@mitchlancaster566]

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

[@sangissong]

EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!

[@xbxiri312]

Pretty sure Jimmy and Matt have already planned a skit for the oscars.

[@antoinelaplace974]

x Bxiri Yeah, the thing I'm most excited for at the oscars.

[@bryannguyen8440]

Hak Hak yup same here

[@user-mj6qr2ky9d]

x Bxiri OF COURSE !

[@siam9914]

Lol

[@Lizzy-vp6hs]

Matt Damon has always been a favorite actor of mine. He's so perfect, a great family man, amazing wife, stellar kids!

[@MatthewHarrold]

I love the fake rivalry between Matt D and Jimmy K. True celebrity banter.

[@wolverineiscool7161]

excuse me but its not fake, its real...very real.

[@bryannguyen8440]

wolverineiscool I know it is

[@letsgracethisplace]

Matthew Harrold Why did it start in the first place?

[@bryannguyen8440]

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 KZbin. 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.

[@elenixamouratidou6170]

[@pratimaregmi1949]

Mary T nice one

[@radiogirlnelo]

Mary T lol

[@vasudhaprasad8119]

Haha, good one👍

[@Marqueeshutdown]

"It's bad for everyone". I spit my drink out. especially since I came here after watching his bit with Molly and the paternity test

[@MinSugaCheonjae]

I wish I can get a guy like Matt Damon. he's super nice, humble and grounded

[@saly4762]

this man is a goal period

[@jane9561]

Matt is such a daddy hot damn

[@wolverineiscool7161]

who's your daddy

[@jane9561]

wolverineiscool logan

[@wolverineiscool7161]

Jane Warner lol, that's right

[@babrittful]

why is george clooney in the title when they talk about him 30 seconds?

[@babrittful]

HOW AM I SEEING THIS VIDEO SO SOON???????

[@HM-im6go]

ever heard of clickbait?

[@BRAVITS]

britt z Because it made you click on it.

[@davidpurba194]

Yeah elen KZbin tittle is like family Guy clip tittle

[@utkarshyadav2233]

He's seems so.. intellectual!

[@boseit28]

Utkarsh Yadav he went to Harvard if that says something!

[@wolverineiscool7161]

and he dropped out of harvard if that says more

[@boseit28]

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

[@wolverineiscool7161]

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

[@boseit28]

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?

[@sheldon_mlct]

I love this smooth and funny interview. Always a delight to watch

[@victoria4]

[@tyc9909]

[@lma6557]

AlexBarck it's good tho

[@Aleh1295]

Haven't seen it but it looks terrible

[@adavidtoremember]

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.

[@fahim3109]

Wow I'm early, so let me think of a joke... The American President.
