Aaron Rodgers is refusing to back down from what he said about Jimmy Kimmel last week as he’s fired back at the late-night show host in his latest Tuesday appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’.
The New York Jets quarterback suggested that Kimmel’s name might be on the “Epstein list” while speaking on said show last Tuesday, reigniting the feud between him and Kimmel. Following a social media response in which he threatened a lawsuit, Kimmel opened his own show with a monologue in which he roasted Rodgers on Monday night.
“Either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list, which is insane, or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that, he just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lies about being vaccinated,” the 56-year-old said.
He also proceeded to call Rodgers a “hamster-brained man” whose only two As on his report card were both in his name “Aaron.”
“We learned during COVID that somehow he knows more about science than scientists,” he added. “A guy who went to community college, then got into Cal on a football scholarship, and didn’t graduate. Someone who never spent a minute studying the human body, is an expert in the field of immunology.”
Rodgers promised reporters he would address what he said last week during this week’s show, telling them to tune in.

Making his weekly appearance on Tuesday, he claimed that his words were misconstrued as he never said that he thought Jimmy was on the list while pointing out that the actual list is yet to be unsealed.
“I’m glad that Jimmy is not on the list, I really am, I don’t think he’s the P-word,” he insisted. “I think it’s impressive that a man who went to Arizona State and has 10 joke writers can read off a prompter… I wish him the best. Again, I don’t give a S- what he says about me, but as long as he understands what I actually said, that I’m not accusing him of being on a list, I’m all for moving forward.
“I hope that he will give the same type of energy to these heinous crimes when they do come out that you gave to other subjects that you spent a lot of time working on.”
It appears this feud is far from over. And, yes, we are totally here for it.
