Jimmy Kimmelis bringing in the big guns to his ongoing feud withMatt Damon.
In an exclusive PEOPLE clip, theJimmy Kimmel Live!host arrives at a suburban home with New England Patriots quarterbackTom Bradyand Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo. Kimmel, 51, then asks if Brady, 41, could throw the football he’s holding through a window of the house, and Brady replies that he of course can.
“Very well done, that was impressive,” Kimmel says after Brady shatters the window.
But as they’re congratulating Brady, a very angry Damon, 48, walks out and demands to know what’s going on.
“Oh no, do you live here?” Kimmel replies, with Damon angrily answering, “You know I live here!”

Kimmel has been one-half of the hilarious14-year feud with Damonthat has even seen their famous friends joining in on the gag. But Kimmel didn’t mean to start a decade-long beef with Damon — he just wanted to cheer himself up after a particularly bad early episode ofJimmy Kimmel Live!
“We had a bad show. … The guests were bad, and I was feeling pretty bad about myself at the end of the program,” KimmeltoldNPRin 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.”

And even though he only said Damon’s name because it’s the first A-lister he thought of, the joke stuck after the December 2005 episode. The host then spent about a year closing his show with the same apology to Damon before the actor himself came on to participate in a fake fight in 2006 and after he finally made it on the show, the host cut him off.
