The Return of Jimmy Kimmel Sucks!

The cast of “Monuments Men” is coming to chat with Jimmy Kimmel tonight, including his arch nemesis Matt Damon. It’s sure to be a good time!

If you remember, back in January, 2013, Damon took over Kimmel’s ABC late-night show, temporarily renamed Jimmy Kimmel Sucks!, which was chock full of big stars including Andy Garcia, Sheryl Crow, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Nicole Kidman, Gary Oldman, Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon and Demi Moore. For the whole hour, Kimmel was gagged and tied to a chair.

Damon, making his return tonight with his Monuments Men cast, causes even more tension with the late night host. (Watch the brief preview below.)

According to The Hollywood Reporter: “If that wasn’t enough, Kimmel will do another installment of “Mean Tweets,” this time with a tweet from his own Twitter handle, @jimmykimmel. In the clip, Kimmel bashes Damon, though the Oscar winner has the last laugh (yoga pants!).”

Scheduled to appear tonight with Damon are George Clooney, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Bob Balaban and Cate Blanchett. This episode of Jimmy Kimmel is airing at the same time as Jay Leno’s last show.
