Matt Damon disguised himself as Dr. Phil just so he could get onto Jimmy Kimmel's late night show to promote his new film The Martian.

The two have a long-running feud stretching back a decade with Kimmel, 47, consistently bumping the Bourne Identity star with the words: 'Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time.'

But on Monday night's show, Damon, 44, finally made it as a guest on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live after the pair participated in a couples therapy session to try and resolve their differences.

I made it! Matt Damon donned a fake bald head and mustache to disguise himself as TV's Dr. Phil, the scheduled guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night and after a decade of waiting, he got on the show

When Kimmel introduced his next guest, Dr. Phil McGraw, Damon walked out on stage in a fake bald head and mustache making folksy remarks in a Texan drawl.

'I'll tell you what Jimmy, a squirrel in a top hat is like a donkey in a dress,' he counseled. 'Now don't make a pig out of a peanut, Jimmy.'

The bemused talk show host asked: 'Seriously, what are you doing here? It's supposed to be Dr. Phil.'

Damon responded that Kimmel had said during a therapy session he could be the guest on the show.

Unexpected guest: Damon, 44, resorted to desperate measures after, he said, spending 10 years waiting in a dressing room every night in the hope of being interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! - but it never happened

'Don't make a pig out of a peanut': The actor mimicked Dr. Phil's Texan drawl and folksy sayings

Original: The real Dr. Phil is pictured here earlier this month, when he stopped by Extra

Promised: The Hollywood star, whose new film The Martian opens on Friday, insisted that the late night host had told him during couple's therapy that he could be on Monday night's show

Kimmel said that's not what happened and played the videotaped session.

Sitting next to the talk show host on a sofa, Damon revealed to the female therapist that for the past 10 years, he has come to the studio every night and waited in a dressing room assigned to him by Kimmel.

But he's never made it onto the show.

Kimmel explained it's just hard to fit everything into a one-hour telecast.

'We have other guests. I have a monologue to do. I have a band,' he said. 'Listen, I understand his point of view, but he has to understand my point of view.

Working it out: Kimmel and Damon participated in a couple's therapy session where they tried to resolve their long-running feud

Tried: Kimmel, 47, insisted he just didn't have the time in his one-hour show over the past decade to include Damon as a guest

Ego: 'He thinks he's the only celebrity in California,' Kimmel said of Damon

Frustrated: Damon, 44, countered that Kimmel twists the truth and makes him look like he's the crazy guy

'He thinks the world revolves around him. He thinks he's the only celebrity in California,' the host added.

Damon expressed his frustration that his pal always turns things around to make him look like the bad guy.

'He is verbally abusive to me and couches it as truth,' Damon said.

The hilarious skit ended with Kimmel promising to keep trying to get the actor onto the show and Damon committed to waiting 'another 12 years.'

Resolution: At the end of the session, the two hugged and Damn committed to waiting 12 more years while Kimmel agreed to keep trying to get him on his show
