Sarah is one of my favorites - her TV show is hysterical.

I’d like to see the outtakes from the filming. They look like they are having a lot of fun.

Watch [this video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKeD7rLYg8M) for the backstory - Damon throws a pretty believable hissy fit on Kimmel.  
[/QUOTE]

That’s believable? That’s just acting. Damon agreed to go on the show to further the running “Sorry Matt Damon, we’re out of time” gag.

It’s not just publicity? I wouldn’t find it that believable unless I knew of some reason for their enmity, which I don’t. I don’t think I’ve given a thought to either of the two, but now I’m a little curious.

[The video on Kimmel’s website](http://abc.go.com/latenight/jimmykimmel/index?pn=video) is better quality, but the player screen is really tiny.

Irony: I don’t even find Sarah funny. OK, not _that_ funny. My thing for her is almost entirely physical.

Wow, my respect for Matt Damon has gone through the roof thanks to him being willing to do something like this.

That’s exactly what I thought. The man should do more comedy.

Amen. I don’t find her funny either (exception: this Matt Damon song).  
She is, however, SMOKIN’ HOT in my opinion.

I meant it was a convincing stunt, didn’t mean to imply it was genuine.

1. I love Sarah Silverman - her show rocks (I seem to be in a minority finding her generally funny, but there you are).

2. Fucking Matt Damon should be something we all get to experience.

Apparently Kimmel is now fucking Ben Affleck. I’m sure the video will be on Youtube shortly.

I just saw Jimmy Kimmel’s video response to this. He’s f\*ckin’ Ben Affleck. He had just about everybody in his video. Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Huey Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Macy Grey, Josh Groban, Don Cheadle and many more. I’m sure it will be on you-tube soon.
