Imagine being invited to dinner at Jimmy Kimmel’s house, only to find yourself choking on a pork rib! That’s exactly what happened to Matt Damon during a casual evening that took a dramatic turn. While enjoying a meal, Damon quickly dove into the food and met with an unfortunate rib-related experience that left him gasping for air. Kimmel, sensing trouble, kicked into high gear, fearing he’d have a real-life tragedy on his hands.
After trying the Heimlich maneuver to no avail, Kimmel hilariously resorted to a solution you don’t hear about every day: bread! Yes, in a moment that could be described as both terrifying and oddly funny, the late-night host reached for carbs to assist his friend. It’s a good reminder that sometimes the best remedy isn’t always the most conventional one, and who knew dinner could be so dangerous?
This incident also highlights the long-standing comedic feud between the two, which began back in 2005 when Kimmel jokingly declared they ran out of time for Damon on his show. What started as a running gag has turned into a delightful friendship, filled with humor and, occasionally, life-threatening moments. So, what would you do in a situation like that? Would you turn to Kimmel’s bread method or stick with more traditional rescue tactics?
