The 45th Annual Kennedy Center Honors might not air until Dec. 28 on CBS, but E! News shared a teaser of the event, which included a bit of Matt Damon‘s speech for his close friend George Clooney.
During the speech, Damon recounted a time when Clooney used a cat’s litter box for a prank, and the story’s as wild as you’d expect.
In the teaser, Damon began, “It has been said that my friend George Clooney is the last of the true movie stars, so I got to thinking about exactly what that meant. Of course, a number of past Kennedy Center honorees have certainly been movie stars in that classic sense. Actors with class and sophistication—Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck.”
“And then I think of George,” Damon continued, “a man who defecated in Richard Kind‘s kitty litter box as a joke.”
Richard Kind is an extremely talented screen and voice actor with roles in projects like Argo and Inside Out. Most recently, he appeared in Netflix’s The Watcher, and you can hear him voice Al Tuttle in American Dad!
But before all of this, Kind was Clooney’s roommate, and the Kennedy Center honoree is known for being an intense prankster.
In March of last year, Clooney was a guest on the podcast SmartLess hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, and he revealed the entire story behind the litter box incident.
