Jimmy Kimmel Reveals Matt Damon Nearly Choked to Death at His House
Fatt Damon:
In a new interview, the 57-year-old late-night talk show host revealed that he once had the 54-year-old Oscar-winning actor over at his house for dinner and he nearly choked to death while eating ribs.
“Matt Damon was over at my house one night for dinner,” Jimmy recalled to Variety. “I made pork ribs. He came late, was very hungry, and started eating fast. He started choking on a pork rib. It was stuck in his throat for about an hour and a half. His brother was there.”
“I said, ‘We have got to get him to the hospital,’ because if he dies in my house, I’m going to prison for the rest of my life,” he continued. “I will never be able to explain this as anything other than a murder. We did a lot of YouTube-ing and finally concluded that eating little bits of bread was the way to get that rib to work its way down into his stomach — and bread saved him. We tried the Heimlich many times. It was too far down.”

I was sitting at a bar in a fine dining restaurant, and I ordered the Beef Wellington. I began to eat it, and a piece of beef stuck in my throat. I got up and tried to self- Heimlich on the back of my chair at the bar. You can’t say anything when you are choking, because you’ve got something stuck in your throat! Some guy and his wife at a table behind me in the bar saw me and the guy immediately understood that I was choking. He got up and gave me the Heimlich maneuver And the piece of beef soared out of my throat and landed back behind the bar! I was so embarrassed! I took the rest of my food to go and paid for my meal and told the bartender to pay for the meal for the folks at the table behind me. I felt it was the least I could do for him saving my life! I was talking to a group of friends a couple of months later, and I was re-telling that story and one of them looked at me and yelled, “Oh my God, that was YOU?!!” Apparently a lot of folks in my town were talking about that!

He was choking on it for 90 minutes? Bullshit. If you're really choking you've got a minute or 2. However, if you're choking on a hard cock...

I don't trust anything that Kimmel says about Damon or that Damon says about Kimmel, they both act like they hate each other but are really friends and they make up shit about each other all the time and pull practical jokes on each other.

Their playful “feud” has been annoying for quite some time.

It’s called steakhouse syndrome. It was in his esophagus, not his windpipe. Wolfing down meat when you are hungry and have not had a sip of a beverage first can kick it off. It’s not that uncommon. Fallon is an idiot.

^ actually, it seems like whoever wrote that article is the idiot. Fallon didn’t claim Damon was choking to death, he joked around and looked at YouTube videos for 90 minutes and they resolved the situation.

What R13 said — the food went down the right pipe and then got stuck. Damon was breathing throughout the hour and a half, obviously.
Those smooth creamy meal-in-a-carton drinks (Ensure, Boost, Orgain) can be helpful as well, if this happens.

What did Fallon have to do with the story?
