He also joked, “I’d like to thank you for keeping the set cool … If you’re gonna have one chance for America to see your junk, you want it to be cold.”

During an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2014, Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, also made fun of the slip.
“What I have to say is, ‘You’re welcome,'” she told the talk show host. “I just try to consider myself a charitable person and I wanted to give back. You give me so much, I wanted to give something back to all of you.”
