Matt Damon continues to keep Ben Affleck relevant

On Inside the Actors Studio, that pompous and boring show that everyone pretends to watch, Matt Damon admitted that he felt 'really threatened' by long time friend Ben Affleck when they first met.
I felt really threatened by him because he'd done a television series - an educational program called 'The Voyage of The Mimi. And he suddenly came to my high school and you know... I always got the leads in the plays in high school and here was this kid who was coming out of TV and I was very threatened by him.
It might be just me but without Damon constantly name dropping him, do you think Ben Affleck would have disappeared a long time ago?
