On Monday, Jimmy Kimmel took a swing at Aaron Rodgers on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Aaron appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” last week and suggested that Jimmy was on a list of alleged associates of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, leading to a defamation lawsuit filed by the state of Virginia against Epstein victims. He suggested that there was some thought that it might be released as a new document dump related to the lawsuit. Giuffre against convicted Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Jimmy immediately reacted by threatening to sue Aaron.
During a seven-minute monologue on his show, Kimmel said: Said“When you hear a guy who won a Super Bowl and did all the State Farm commercials say something like this, a lot of people believe it. I truly believe that people meet with Tom Hanks and Oprah once a week at Shakey’s to eat pizza and drink children’s blood. And I hear from these people frequently. , my wife knows it because she hears stories from them too. My kids hear stories from them. My poor mailman hears stories from these people. And now, because of Aaron Rodgers, even more people are reaching out to us.”
Kimmel shared his thoughts on why Aaron brought up his name, saying: It’s because he’s mad at me for making fun of his topknot and lies about vaccinations. ”
Although his name was not on the list, Jimmy said the damage has already been done.
Jimmy calls NFL quarterbacks “Karen Rodgers” and “the guy with the hamster brain,” and says, “Aaron got two A’s on his report card, and both of them had the word ‘Aaron’ in them.” I joked.
Kimmel emphasized that Rodgers was “too arrogant to realize how ignorant he is,” adding, “I’ve been playing sports for years. I’ve seen guys like him before. Aaron Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself. He believes that he is a special person because of his success in the field of football. He believes that God has given him I truly believe I’m smarter than everyone else because it gave me the ability to throw the ball.”
He went on to say, “The idea that his brain is average is unfathomable to him. We learned during the coronavirus pandemic that somehow he knows more about science than scientists. I learned that a man who attended community college and then went to the University of California on a football scholarship but never graduated, who never spent a single minute studying the human body, became an expert in the field of immunology. is.”
Jimmy also demands that Aaron apologize, saying, “When I do something wrong, which happens rarely, you know what I do?” he apologizes. That’s what Aaron Rodgers should do, that’s what any sane person should do. But I’m sure he won’t. Do you know what I would do if he did that? Accept his apology and move on. But he probably won’t do that. My guess is he won’t apologize. ”
On Tuesday, Aaron claimed that his words had been distorted and that he never actually said he thought Jimmy was on the list.
On “The Pat McAfee Show,” Aaron said, “I’m glad Jimmy’s not on the list. I really am. I don’t think he’s the P-word.” I think it’s amazing that a guy who went to Arizona State University and had 10 joke writers reads from a teleprompter…I wish him the best of luck. Again, I don’t care what he says about me, but I hope he understands that I’m not blaming him for what I actually said, i.e. being on the list. I’m all for moving forward as long as we’re doing it.
He went on to say, “You gave him the same kind of energy that you gave to other subjects that you spent so much time working on, when these heinous crimes actually came to light.” I hope you will.”
