\n\tThe Odyssey<\/a> is almost here and its star Matt Damon<\/a> celebrated by climbing into a Trojan horse to sneak onto the stage at Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs host Jimmy Kimmel delivered his final monologue before taking his annual summer break he was interrupted by a delivery driver bearing a giant wooden horse and a slightly small horse. Kimmel feigned surprise at the delivery, even when the driver insisted on bringing the smaller one inside the studio. \u201cI didn\u2019t order this horse,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what it\u2019s doing here. We\u2019re doing the show right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDamon then leaped out of the horse to big applause. \u201cI don\u2019t want the horse in here,\u201d Kimmel told Damon. \u201cThe horse is here and there\u2019s no take-backs, bitch,\u201d Damon replied. \u201cI did it!\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have traveled far and wide, through waves and war, to save this audience from mediocrity,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is trespassing,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cThis is another crime you\u2019ve committed here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYour face is a crime,\u201d Damon responded. He explained that he stopped by the show to promote The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan<\/a>\u2018s forthcoming film, which hits theaters on July 17. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOh my God. Did you do this movie specifically so you could sneak into this room in a Trojan horse?\u201d Kimmel asked. \u201cThat is the saddest thing I\u2019ve ever heard. What a loser you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe appearance eventually escalated into a fight between the pair with pool noodles after Damon insulted Kimmel\u2019s parents and Kimmel insisted this stunt did not mean Kimmel was on the show. \u201cEverybody at home, you can wake up now,\u201d Damon said. \u201cBecause the show is finally, finally good for like a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDamon and Kimmel have been\u00a0publicly sparring since 2005<\/a>. The feud began when Kimmel introduced a bit on\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>\u00a0where he feigned cutting Damon from air. \u201cI want to apologize to Matt Damon, we ran out of time,\u201d the late-night host joked. Since then, the pair have continued the back and forth, even\u00a0involving people like Ben Affleck<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, Damon appeared on<\/a> Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which Kimmel was hosting. Damon and his game partner Ken Jennings ultimately won $1 million for Damon\u2019s nonprofit Water.org, which helps bring clean water to communities in need. \u201cThis is the least dramatic million-dollar moment in\u00a0Who Wants to Be a Millionaire\u00a0history,\u201d Kimmel said when they claimed victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Odyssey is almost here and its star Matt Damon celebrated by climbing into a Trojan horse to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,129268,134,4625,59932,28684,31174,30335,427],"class_list":["post-746616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-christopher-nolan","tag-entertainment","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","tag-late-night-tv","tag-matt-damon","tag-the-odyssey","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
