Overview

• Damon appeared during Friday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Brooklyn dressed as a neon mascot before revealing himself onstage.
• The costume echoed Frankie Focus, the New York campaign mascot introduced by Governor Kathy Hochul to promote phone-free school time.
• In character, Damon taunted Kimmel with jabs including calling him dumb and comparing his look to Jimmy Fallon being dragged from the Gowanus Canal.
• Damon quipped that the president had cancelled Kimmel, citing a line about “zero ratings and no talent,” before Kimmel noted the show returns Monday.
• The bit continues a running gag that began in 2005 with Kimmel’s mock apologies to Damon and has since spawned surprise cameos and viral sketches.
