Matt Damon saw a way to be a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after New England Patriots won Super Bowl LI. The actor pretended to be Tom Brady to sneak onto the show, which has banned him for years due to his fake feud with the host.
Matt came out in Tom's jersey complete with his football helmet when Jimmy Kimmel welcomed the Patriots quarterback as his special guest on Monday night, February 6. The comedian started to become suspicious when "Tom" refused to take off his helmet.
"It's my lucky helmet," the fake Tom insisted, but Jimmy later removed the helmet. The audience cheered loudly as Matt celebrated his victory, while the host glared at him. "Yes, I did it!" the "Jason Bourne" actor chanted.
"Touchdown!" Matt declared. "Hey, I'm on the show. If I'm not on the show, where am I? I won the Super Bowl and I won your stupid show!" he continued. Jimmy begged to differ, claiming that he's not officially a guest on the show because he didn't sit on the couch.
Jimmy then called security who later escorted Matt out of the studio.
Backstage, Matt was asked about his feeling after making it onto Jimmy's show. "Oh it's so incredible. I've worked so hard for this. All the years, 14 years being in the dressing room thinking I'm going to get out and we never gave up," he gushed.
He was so happy as if he won Super Bowl, adding, "First of all I want to thank God because he hates Jimmy so much that he just made all this happen. God loves me very much by the way, and that champagne was supposed to be for Emma Stone, you jerk!"
