Jimmy Kimmel Tries Couples Therapy With Matt Damon

— -- For the past 12 years, Jimmy Kimmel has ended each broadcast of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" by apologizing to Matt Damon for bumping the actor for time.

Things came to a head in 2013, when Damon "kidnapped" Kimmel, and took over the show while the host was bound and gagged on the set.

According to Monday night's installment of the show, however, things have yet to recover -- despite the pair revealing they're undergoing couple's therapy.

Damon would have been bumped Monday night as well -- had he not disguised himself as guest Dr. Phil McGraw to get onto the show. "What are you doing?" an incredulous Kimmel asked. "You said that I could be on the show today," Damon pleaded.

"No ... I know what I said," Kimmel insisted. "I have the whole therapy session on tape."

"I do want to show this," Kimmel told the crowd, "because I want you to see what kind of person this is."

Kimmel rolled tape of the therapy session, which revealed that while he's "ready" to let Damon "back into his life," there's apparently still a lot of hostility.

"He promised me over a decade ago that I was going to be a guest on the show," Damon explained. "Jimmy would say he's been nice enough to give me a room where I come and I wait every night. Every night."

Kimmel insisted to the therapist, "I tried to get him on the show...We have other guests, who he obviously doesn't care about...He thinks he's the only celebrity in California...It's all about him," Jimmy said. When asked how he thinks it feels to be Damon every day, Kimmel said, "I would imagine it sucks to be him...He's trying to be a movie star...Just look at his face and his body -- it's not a movie star face and…it’s not a movie star body.”

Referring to Damon's 2011 bomb "We Bought a Zoo," the actor pleaded with Kimmel, "That zoo was supposed to be...something beautiful...For us...You didn't even show up!"

Damon explained his "abduction" of Kimmel was to make the host feel like he does every day -- that he wants to be on the show, but is physically unable to. "Everything except the duct tape happens to me every night," he said. "The show's right there and he can't get to it."

The pair later hugged it out, but their awkward embrace soon had them struggling again, as the gesture soon turned into a set-smashing grapple.

However, by the show's end, perhaps detente? Kimmel signed off by saying, "I think I've apologized to Matt Damon enough."
