Jimmy Kimmel might not be cooking for Matt Damon anymore.

He started choking on a pork rib. It was stuck in his throat for about an hour and a half. His brother was there.”
“I said, ‘We have got to get him to the hospital,’ because if he dies in my house, I’m going to prison for the rest of my life,” he continued. “I will never be able to explain this as anything other than a murder. We did a lot of YouTube-ing and finally concluded that eating little bits of bread was the way to get that rib to work its way down into his stomach — and bread saved him. We tried the Heimlich many times. It was too far down.”
Back in 2023, Jimmy revealed that Matt and another famous friend offered to pay his late-night show staff during the writers strike.
