The epic story of Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon is well known by now. What started as a running gag that saw Damon repeatedly “bumped” from Jimmy Kimmel Live turned into a sort of faux feud, sort of on par with the ongoing battle between Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.

“Matt Damon was over at my house one night for dinner,” Jimmy, 57, shared in an interview with Variety published Aug. 18. "I made pork ribs. He came late, was very hungry, and started eating fast. He started choking on a pork rib. It was stuck in his throat for about an hour and a half. His brother was there.”

Jimmy Kimmel recounted how he saved an A-list star after the acclaimed actor started choking on a pork rib while over for dinner at the late-night show's house.
