“Credit-hogging narcissist”: Ben Affleck Honors Jimmy Kimmel Amid Trump Roast, Shades Matt Damon

Ben Affleck channeled his inner Batman while presenting Jimmy Kimmel with his first-ever Peabody Award, praising the late-night host for speaking truth to power amid his ongoing criticism of Donald Trump. The Hollywood star then revived Kimmel's decades-long mock feud with Matt Damon, joking that the comedian's greatest battle against authority had been with "one particularly credit-hogging narcissist." The introduction set the stage for Kimmel's own acceptance speech at the 86th Annual Peabody Awards, where he defended free speech and took direct aim at Donald Trump with a barrage of nicknames, including "Nostradumbass" and "Mar-a-Lardo." Affleck later capped off his tribute with a classic Batman callback and jab at Kimmel, saying, "He knows that justice dies in the dark. But I taught him that when I was Batman."
