Jimmy Kimmel has lashed out against Aaron Rodgers after the NFL quarterback suggested that the late-night talk show host’s name might be on Jeffrey Epstein’s “client list.”
Rodgers made the comments while a guest on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
The subject of Epstein came up when one of the hosts asked Rodgers if he was sitting in his wine cellar, waiting to celebrate the release of the list of the dead pedophile’s powerful associates.
“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers joked, prompting the show hosts to laugh.
McAfee explained that Kimmel had used a clip from his show to mock Rodgers on the subject of the Epstein list.
Last month, a judge ordered the list to be released to the public in January.
“I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle!” continued Rodgers.

In response, Kimmel melted down over Rodgers’s comments.
He responded in a post on social media on Tuesday.
“Dear A***hole: 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,” wrote Kimmel.
“Your reckless words put my family in danger,” he added.
“Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

In March of last year, Kimmel mocked comments Rodgers made about the Epstein list and UFOs.
“Did you hear about the Epstein client list about to be released?” Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show in February 2023.
“There’s some files that have some names on it that might be getting released pretty soon.”
On his show, Kimmel said it might be time for Aaron Rodgers to “revisit the concussion protocol” while also referring to him as a “tin-foil hatter.”
