Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon's rivalry takes a 'stupid' turn at the World Series

LOS ANGELES _ Longtime frenemies Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon went to Game 5 of the World Series and all they got were these stupid T-shirts.

The rivaling "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host and the Oscar winner were among the many famous faces in the stands at Dodger Stadium for the 2018 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox at Dodger Stadium on Sunday.

On brand with their protracted feud, which began in Kimmel's early days on ABC when he tried to lure bigger talent to his fledgling talk show, these two sat together and wore novelty "I'm With Stupid" shirts to highlight their mutual love-loathe relationship. Kimmel's was Dodger blue, while Damon's was red for the Sox, who ultimately won the series 4-1.

It's unclear if the sight gag was just for fun or for a later segment of Kimmel's show. Reps for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment on Monday,

Damon, a Boston native, was also joined by longtime pal and writing partner Ben Affleck. Affleck also cheered for his hometown team at Game 4 on Saturday, when he was spotted in the stands with his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner.
