The long-running US showbiz gag that Sarah Silverman - the potty-mouthed comedian who goes out with ABC late-night talkshow host Jimmy Kimmel - is, you know... doing it with Matt Damon shows no sign of running out of steam, two months on. Yesterday Silverman and Damon took out a spoof ad in US entertainment trade paper Variety congratulating Kimmel on his 1,000th ABC talkshow, which was broadcast last night. And now there's a viral mash-up of the original Silverman-Damon video - featuring Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. To recap, Kimmel responded to Silverman on his Oscars night show in February with his own star-studded spoof video in which he revealed he was, you know... doing it with Ben Affleck. The whole thing blossomed out of an even longer-running Kimmel gag about bumping Damon from his show, from red carpet coverage at film premieres, and even his own film. Blimey - when the Yanks pull your leg, they just keep on tugging, don't they?
