Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Bill Murray, George Clooney, John Goodman, Cate Blanchett, and Bob Balaban to chat about The Monuments Men on Thursday night. Matt Damon, however — archnemesis and star of Kimmel’s ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman’s music video “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” — had to sit on the side like a leper while Kimmel ignored and disparaged him. Then Damon and the rest of the guests showed up in a new installment of “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets.” (Bill Murray won, as Bill Murray always does.)
