Jimmy Kimmel returned with his post-Oscars special following the 87th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night, February 22. During the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!: After The Oscars" special, the funnyman debuted a funny skit featuring him as an acting coach for Jennifer Aniston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lupita Nyong'o, Eddie Redmayne, Jeff Bridges, Sean Penn and his "nemesis" Matt Damon.

Dubbed "the greatest, most prolific and revered acting coach who ever lived," Kimmel had "controversial" methods in teaching his students how to act. He's seen getting angry and throwing a bottle when Redmayne, a British actor who won the Oscar for Best Actor this year, couldn't do a British accent correctly.

"Jim makes you face your worst fear, which is usually him," Kristen Bell said of Kimmel. At another moment, the comedian told Aniston to fall backwards and he did nothing to catch her. Still, she praised him, saying, "He's so in touch and he's just...so generous."

In the second part of the skit, Damon was seen suffering during Kimmel's acting class. The "Elysium" actor revealed he's often told to play the part of a chair or a lamp, something which Bridges couldn't do well enough. Kimmel also "broke up" married couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. "When he's right, he's right," so Blunt said of the acting coach.

Still playing the role, Kimmel chided Best Supporting Actor winner J.K. Simmons for forgetting to thank him as his acting coach when the actor stopped by for an interview. Kimmel tried to take Simmons' Oscar Award before the actor ran away with the trophy.

In another sketch, Jimmy visited Neil Patrick Harris after his Oscar-hosting gig. The comedian wanted to redeem friend coupons that Harris had given him years ago and forced Harris to skip an Oscar after-party as he asked the "How I Met Your Mother" star to babysit his daughter for a night.
