New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is probably the most popular person in Massachusetts after the amazing come-from-behind victory he led in Super Bowl LI on Sunday. Patriots coach Bill Belichick and wide receiver Julian Edelman were on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show Monday night discussing the game, but Jimmy Kimmel was very honored to have Brady on Kimmel Live — sort of. If you know anything about Kimmel's show, you can probably guess the other famous Bostonian who showed up Monday night.

After being escorted out by security, Matt Damon celebrated his "touchdown," and as Kimmel protested, Rich Eisen ruled it a long-delayed win for Damon after years of frustration. Watch Damon gloat and spill Emma Stone's champagne below. Peter Weber
