Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon took their feud to the World Series
By Matt Moore
The late night host and Oscar-winning actor reignited their rivalry during Game 5 of the World Series in Los Angeles.
Even when the cameras aren’t meant for them, Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel can’t help but take shots each other. Their long-running bit was one of the moments caught during last night’s World Series game at Dodger Stadium.
Typically Kimmel and Damon will keep things to the entertainment world. Kimmel will bump Damon at the end of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, take shots during his monologue, or make the actor the butt of a bit at any time.
Damon has had his fair share of revenge, however. He trolled Kimmel during the Emmys and staged a take over of Jimmy Kimmel Live! a few years back. Damon scored another win last night as his beloved hometown team the Boston Red Sox finished off the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series.
Damon and Kimmel were photographed sitting together down by the field, joined by mutual friend and frequent mediator Ben Affleck.
The two wore matching “I’m With Stupid” shirts to give everyone an idea of how they feel about each other. Kimmel was most likely rooting for the Dodgers. The team originated in Brooklyn, where Kimmel is from, and the late night host has made Los Angeles his adopted home while maintaining a New York Mets fandom.
It wasn’t the first time that Kimmel and Damon have come together over sports. Damon’s support of the New England Patriots and their quarterback Tom Brady has also been used on Jimmy Kimmel Live!:

It looked like Kimmel was at least nice enough to let Matt Damon and Ben Affleck celebrate once the final out was recorded and the Red Sox were officially World Series champions. There will probably be some clips of their night together when Jimmy Kimmel Live! returns with a new episode for Oct 29. Last Night On will have it all covered!
