Apologies to Matt Damon
Sometimes, being a journalist can be frustrating, but every once in a while it has its perks.
Earlier this week, I wrote a column for our opinion page about my recent California vacation and about being in the standby line for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
This morning, I got a package from one of the executive producers of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” She had read my column — probably by means of a Google News Alert or some such — and sent me some “Jimmy Kimmel Live” ball caps and a promise of reserved seats the next time I’m in the L.A. area. Pretty cool, huh?
Of course, what this means is that my brother and sister-in-law will move back east, and therefore I won’t get back to L.A. any time soon …..
(I guess I ought to explain the title of the post. Kimmel had a running joke for a while where he would end each show by apologizing that they hadn’t had time to bring out Matt Damon as a guest. This was a joke because Damon is a much bigger star than some of the guests who did appear on the program. When the show did a prime-time anniversary special, Damon made a cameo appearance and complained in mock anger about being bumped from the show so many times.)
