Aaron Rodgers is still not taking a backseat during the media backlash that he has received ever since his insistence against taking the COVID Vaccine during MVP season in the NFL. Now, Rodgers is taking aim at Late-Night host Jimmy Kimmel after the nighttime talk show star took shots at the quarterback earlier in 2023.
Rodgers made his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” to discuss the ongoing drama with the war that the media has decided to wage against him. in it, Rodgers quickly made a joke suggesting that Kimmel may have some very serious ties with Jeffrey Epstein and that the host may be worried about the upcoming release of a majority of the remaining names left of his client list.
Rodgers said, “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are really hoping that doesn’t come out. I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.” It is unclear whether Rodgers has some sort of insider information on the matter, but this joke definitely struck a chord with Kimmel.
Jimmy quickly went about firing a shot back at Rodgers, putting his typing fingers to use on X. He said, “Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any “list” other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”
This post does little other than make it clear that the comments from Rodgers hit home with the late-night host, who clearly wasn’t ready for this rivalry to reignite so early in 2024. Last year, Kimmel poked fun at Rodgers and his takes on UFOs and the existence of aliens. Kimmel went so far as to say that those beliefs had something to do with brain damage sustained in the NFL.
According to Fox News, Kimmel said back in March, “Needless to say, all this UFO talk has the tinfoil-hatters going wild, including Green Bay whack Packer Aaron Rodgers, who offered this hot take on ‘The Pat McAfee Show.’ Might be time to revisit that concussion protocol.”
Many people around the world are anxiously awaiting the release of the “list.” The long, drawn-out saga of the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse ring is apparently nearing closer to its end as the public may soon be made aware of the most high-profile members of the clientele.

Again, it is hard to say that Rodgers has anything more than a gut feeling about Jimmy Kimmel’s name appearing on the “list,” but the mere utterance of the possibility signaled a clear victory in this nearly year-long feud between two of the country’s most famous men. With more updates sure to come, it will be interesting to see if Rodgers chooses to continue poking the bear after being threatened with legal action.
