Almost a year ago, Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel sat down with a real relationship therapist to work out their fictional feud, in which Damon is always invited on Jimmy Kimmel Live and never actually brought on stage, leading a lonely existence in Kimmel's smallest green room. On Monday's show, Kimmel said that, with Damon's new Jason Bourne movie coming out on Friday, he and Damon gave couples therapy another go. "Apparently you have to go to therapy more than once for it to work," he deadpanned. The late-night host and Hollywood star's session with psychotherapist Paul Kundinger did not start out well. "There's a lot of anger coming across," Kundinger finally said, suggesting art therapy. Kimmel and Damon agreed, and surprisingly, the exercise did end the feud for at least a few seconds as Damon and Kimmel broke character — and made ABC's censors get creative. Watch below.
