Priyanka Chopra's appearance on
Jimmy Kimmel Live was always going to be special, but was made just that little bit more so by the presence of actor Matt Damon. (Also Read:

Matt, who was on the show promoting his new film
The Martian (and it's entirely serendipitous that NASA has just evidence of water on Mars), is the celebrity of celebrities on
Jimmy Kimmel Live, courtesy a protracted and elaborate 'feud' with the host. For years, Jimmy closed each show with, "Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time" - a hilarious takeaway line that led to several gags, including the
Bourne Trilogy star showing up to 'hijack' an entire episode in 2003. And he was Priyanka's co-guest on Monday night.
That's gotta be something. Priyanka, 33, was on
Jimmy Kimmel Live in aid of her new American TV show
Quantico, the first episode of which aired last week in USA. On Twitter, she declared herself excited to be on the show with Matt Damon, who will soon return as amnesiac CIA agent Jason
Bourne in the fifth film of the series.
Video of Priyanka's appearance hasn't been made available yet but we do know that she read out 'mean tweets' about herself (a regular segment on Kimmel), courtesy this tweet from her manager:
Quantico has created quite a traffic jam on social media with several celebrities tweeting about Priyanka's performance as FBI rookie Alex Parrish, among them actress Kerry Washington who plays Olivia Pope on the hit show Scandal.
