Kimmel Buries The Hatchet At The Oscars (But Not Really)
Eddie Chen/ABC
In his opening monologue at the Oscars, Kimmel said he wanted to bury the hatchet with his nemesis — although that hatchet ended up buried right between Damon's shoulder blades. "When I first met Matt, I was the fat one," joked Kimmel. "He’s a selfish person, but Matt did something very unselfish," he added, noting how, as producer of "Machester By the Sea", he could have taken the lead part for himself, but instead cast Casey Affleck in the role. "He turned over an Oscar-calibre role to his childhood friend," quipped Kimmel, "and made a Chinese ponytail movie instead. And that movie, 'The Great Wall', went on to lose 80 million dollars. Smooth move, dumbass."

A 'Maury' Paternity Test

"We don’t know if you're a boy or a girl, but you have a choice of daddies," Damon tells the fetus inside McNearney's belly. "One daddy could be an Emmy loser … the other daddy could be an Oscar winner! Do you wanna play with daddy's Oscar?" Tracy Morgan drops in for a twist ending to prove who's REALLY the father.

"Apologies to Matt Damon..."
ABC
In an interview with NPR, Kimmel explained the origins of his signature signoff. “We had a bad show… The guests were bad, and I was feeling pretty bad about myself at the end of the program. 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. 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.”
