“Our staff or your staff?”
Colbert asked, prompting Kimmel to chuckle and clarify that the offer only pertained to his staff.
Fallon called the duo “good people” in response.
Kimmel said he declined the offer because he “felt that that was not their responsibility.”
To which Meyers quipped, “Could it be transferable?”
“Could you just say yes and then give your money to us?”
A representative for Affleck and Damon did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
“Are you guys getting stir-crazy?
Are you ready to go back to work?”
You know, when youareworking, you think aboutnotworking."
But Kimmel was adamant that he was “very, very serious” about moving on.
