Matt Damon Does His Darndest (Including Some Help from Ben Affleck) to Get on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Nothing quite summons the performer out of Jimmy Kimmel quite like his on-going bit of continuing to postpone Matt Damon from being a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Their latest quarrel came after The Oscars when Damon got the closest he’s ever gotten to being on the show without kidnapping Jimmy.

Even as an Oscar nominee, Matt Damon had to sneak into the background of another interview and ask a huge favor from Ben Affleck to make it on to Kimmel’s post-Oscars show.

May the “war” between Damon and Kimmel continue forever so Damon cameos at Kimmel like this one will keep happening.

(via Deadline)

It turns out that Project Greenlight is only one of the projects that’s bringing Matt Damon and Ben Affleck back together again.

Fox has just bought a comedy project from 30 Rock writer/producer Colleen McGuinness that will have Damon and Affleck serving as producers. The “supernatural” element here is that a twentysomething woman discovers that she’s telekinetic.

Make whatever “how do you ‘dem apples?” joke you want here, but this should be very intriguing in this upcoming pilot season, especially with all the other high concept comedies currently in development.

Alyson Hannigan & Tom Papa Cast in Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s CBS Comedy Pilot

The names Ben Affleck and Matt Damon together again should peak your interest along with the pairing of Alyson Hannigan and Tom Papa, but, even more intriguing than that is, if this gets picked up, it will be another thing that Jimmy Kimmel will say that Damon did not write.
