The feud between Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers intensified on Tuesday, with the popular talk show host threatening legal action against the NFL quarterback.
Things took a shocking turn when Rodgers, a guest on ESPN’s ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ suggested that Kimmel’s name will be on the highly-anticipated “Epstein list” when it drops. Kimmel then took to social media with threats to sue.
Disney, which owns both ESPN and ABC – Kimmel is employed by the latter – hasn’t offered comment on the matter.
The beef, though, stretches back a long time. The comedian trolled Rodgers on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ over his anti-vax stance at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, referring to him as a “Wack Packer.”
Last year, Kimmel also took aim at the veteran QB during a monologue after the latter suggested that the UFO reports were released in order to distract folks from the Epstein client list.
“I believe that this has been going on for a long time. Interesting timing on everything. There’s a lot of other things going on in the world,” Rodgers was heard saying in the clip Kimmel showed.

The show then moved on to a segment in which Rodgers was heard asking: “Did you hear about the Epstein client list about to be released?”
“There’s some files that have some names on it that might be getting released pretty soon,” he added.
Kimmel, who referred to A-Rod as a “tin-foil hatter” quipped, “It might be time to revisit that concussion protocol, Aaron.”
Speaking on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on Tuesday, Rodgers also claimed he was waiting to celebrate the release of the list specifically due to Kimmel’s possible inclusion.
