Matt Damon may say he’s not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, but thanks to a prank by Ellen DeGeneres, Damon briefly became the biggest fan of a plastic version of the late-night host.
When Damon stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote his upcoming film Suburbicon, DeGeneres got Damon to play a game of “Pitch, Please,” in which he had to enthusiastically sell a product to the host and her studio audience, sight unseen. The product in question? An underwear-clad blow-up doll with Kimmel’s face.
DeGeneres asked Damon a series of leading questions about the product, and the Cambridge native’s answers left the audience in hysterics.
Among the highlights:
— On how to use the product: “It depends. Some people use it more than once a day; some people use it once a week. That’s what’s great about it. It’s versatile and very user-friendly.”
— On how using the product makes Damon feel: “Relaxed. Which is really the goal. At the end of a stressful day, you want to kick back and relax a bit.”
— On his wife’s opinion of the product: “Well, that’s who I heard about it from. She called me — I was at work — and she said, ‘Hey, this is a hell of a product.'”
