It turns out that Matt Damon does a pretty good Dr. Phil, even with a ridiculous hairpiece. But that's just the gateway into a rehashing of Damon's long-running feud with Jimmy Kimmel. If you don't know their history, Damon and Kimmel explain it to their psychologist in an extended couples therapy session on Monday's Kimmel Live. For unfathomable reasons, they leave out the best part of the decade-plus estrangement — it involves Kimmel's ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman, and then, less impressively, Damon's pal Ben Affleck — but do include the time Damon kidnapped Kimmel and took over his show. They're older and more mature than they were 12 years ago, of course, but thankfully, old wounds are hard to heal. Watch below. Peter Weber
