Aaron Rodgers & Jimmy Kimmel Take Shots at Each Other As Feud Continues
The Aaron Rodgers vs. Jimmy Kimmel battle over the Jeffery Epstein List hit another level of lunacy on Monday and Tuesday with both individuals going scorched on the other.
As a result Rodgers will not appear on the McAfee Show for the remainder of the NFL playoffs.
On Monday Kimmel opened his show with a seven-minute diatribe ripping Rodgers for his comment on the Pat McAfee Show. Kimmel shot down Rodgers’ intelligence, calling him “hamster-brained” for delving into conspiracy theories.
“A lot delusional people believe it,” Kimmel said. “I hear from these people often. My wife hears from them. My kids, my poor mailman hear from them. Now we are hearing from lots more of them thanks to Aaron Rodgers.”

Rodgers hit back on Tuesday on the Pat MacAfee Show saying his statement had been exaggerated by Kimmel and the mainstream media.
“I totally understand how serious an accusation of pedophilia would be. I am not stupid enough, even though you think I am an idiot, and you made a lot of comments about my intelligence. I am not stupid enough to accuse you of that without concrete evidence. I am glad you are not on that list,” the Jets quarterback stated.
BITTER HISTORY:
Both Rodgers and Kimmel have gone scorched earth on each other in the past. Their rift dates back two years ago when Kimmel criticized Rodgers’ vaccination decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Things escalated to another level last week when Rodgers name-dropped Kimmel in a discussion with McAfee and A.J. Hawk over the Jeffery Epstein list.
“There are a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel who are hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said.
Kimmel later swung back that day in a Twitter rant decrying Rodgers’s statement.
The ramifications quickly became political with many talking heads on both sides of the political isle taking sides in the matter.
RODGERS OUT
To make things even more interesting, McAfee announced Wednesday that Rodgers would not appear on the program for the foreseeable future. Although the host did echo on Twitter that the Rodgers segment could return next season.
“There will be a lot of people happy about that, myself included. The way it ended it got real loud. I am glad it won’t be in my mentions going forward,” McAfee said.
