Jimmy Kimmel has spent years apologizing to Matt Damon for not having time to fit him on the show, Matt Damon got his revenge on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. The Oscar winner took over the late night show with some help from his famous friends.

While Jimmy Kimmel was tied up to a swivel chair, Matt Damon took over as host for the late night show. Damon started out by saying, “Welcome to tonight’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Sucks. Just for starters, let me ask you guys this: ‘As an audience, is it weird to see a person with actual talent host this show?”

Damon kept the jabs coming all night adding “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. This is like the time I lost my virginity, except this is going to last way longer than one second.”

The Oscar winner even replaced Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo with actor Andy Garcia. The band leader was replaced by Sheryl Crow, and Damon brought in Robin Williams to take over the monologue.  Surprisingly, Ben Affleck was more supportive of Jimmy Kimmel than his bromance with Damon. Affleck held cue cards up that praised Jimmy that Damon read off. “He doesn’t love you like I love you,” yelled Damon as Affleck ran out conflicted between his love for Jimmy and Damon.

The special guests kept rolling in, with appearances by Jennifer Lopez, Sally Field, John Krasinski, Robert De Niro, Don Cheadle and Oprah Winfrey, all stopping by to give praise to the new host.

Damon states, “I never denied the rumors because I was offended and didn’t want to offend my friends who were gay.” Damon stars in the Steven Soderbergh directed HBO biopic “Behind the Candelabra” as Scott Thorson, Liberace’s longtime lover. Damon plays alongside Michael Douglas, who takes on the role of Las Vegas entertainer Liberace.

Matt Damon recalls talking with Heath Ledger about filming passionate kissing scenes with his co-star Jake Gyllenhaal in the 2005 “Brokeback Mountain”, which Damon was originally set to star. Ledger told him, “I needed to just go for it. If you can’t do that, you’re not making the movie.” Words Damon used to help him as he portrayed the role of Thorson. He has some pretty passionate scenes with costar Michael Douglas and at one point straddles and kisses him in a chaise lounge chair.

Damon went on to say in his interview that the fim covers the intamacy of their relationship and portrays a marriage “long before there was gay marriage. That’s not an insignificant thing.”

Damon will also star in the film “Promise Land”, which he co-wrote with John Krasinski, out in limited release on December 28.
