00:00That was the best gift I ever got.

00:04Happy 50th birthday, Jimmy Kimmel!

00:06On Monday night's episode of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live,

00:09big stars and pals of late-night hosts

00:11dropped by to wish him a happy birthday

00:13and poke some good-natured fun at him.

00:15My co-workers have been planning this for months.

00:17They keep giggling and whispering behind my back,

00:19Kimmel told the audience prior to the show's festivities.

00:22It made me think, this must be what it's like

00:24to be President Trump at the White House.

00:26First up, Ben Affleck, who appeared to promote Justice League,

00:29surprised Kimmel with a visit from J.J. Abrams,

00:31and the director presented a comic book

00:33Kimmel drew as a kid, dubbed The Terrific Ten.

00:36The characters, they really spoke to me,

00:37and they demanded to be brought to life,

00:39Abrams told Kimmel before introducing a trailer

00:41he created of the quirky comic book.

00:44Kimmel's original words narrated the clip,

00:46as Hollywood A-listers appeared dressed as the superheroes

00:48he created, including Muscle Man, played by Affleck,

00:52Zach Galifianakis as Super Duck,

00:54Shaquille O'Neal as Spy or God of Weapons,

00:56Jason Bateman as Ben Delight,

00:58Jon Hamm as Lucky Lad and Jennifer Aniston as Laser Lass.

01:02Laser Lass.

01:03I'm the lady one.

01:05In the faux trailer, the superstar superheroes prepare for battle,

01:08but they are surprised when they discover that the villain,

01:10Mr. Bolt, is none other than Kimmel's infamous arch-nemesis,

01:14Matt Damon.

01:15Eventually, the superheroes and villains begin bantering

01:17about their respective special abilities,

01:19which they realize aren't that great.

01:21We were created by a weird, sad kid who grew to later become a weird, fat man.

01:28Next up, Ray Romano oversaw a special birthday edition of mean tweets,

01:32with the tables turned as stars, including Kim Kardashian West, David Letterman,

01:36and Jon Stewart read harsh tweets written about the late-night host.

01:39Larry David had difficulty reading through his laughter.

01:42I forgot Jimmy Kimmel's name, so I googled ugly late-night show host.

01:50And David Letterman couldn't help but be the subject of his own mean tweet.

01:53Jimmy Kimmel is not funny, neither is David Letterman. I'd have to go along with both of those.

02:00George Clooney also joined in on the fun by narrating a retrospective of Kimmel's life titled,

02:0550, fierce and fabulous. The comedic reel introduced by Adam Sandler featured video recordings

02:10from Kimmel's childhood, photographs and interviews with Kimmel's friends and colleagues.

02:14Clooney joked of Kimmel's journey to becoming a late-night icon.

02:17Jimmy's infatuation with David Letterman was boundless and borderline psychotic.

02:22And now we will end as the tribute did. Here's to looking at the next 50 years, Jimmy.
