Jimmy Kimmel saved Matt Damon from almost dying at the late-night host’s house.

Kimmel revealed that Damon was once having dinner at his home, when he choked on a pork rib that Kimmel cooked. Kimmel said the piece of meat was stuck in Damon’s throat for an hour and a half.

“I said, ‘We have got to get him to the hospital,’ because if he dies in my house, I’m going to prison for the rest of my life,” he recalled to Variety . “I will never be able to explain this as anything other than a murder.”

Kimmel said that he and Damon’s brother found a solution on YouTube — eating little bits of bread slowly to get the rib to go down into Damon’s stomach.

Kimmel noted that the bread actually “saved him.”

“We tried the Heimlich many times,” he shared. “It was too far down.”
