All the ways Jimmy Kimmel mocked Aaron Rodgers in stinging monologue
Ignorant, arrogant and hamster-brained.
Those were just a few of the insults Jimmy Kimmel launched at Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a scathing seven-minute monologue on his late-night talk show, which returned for its first episode of 2024 on Monday.
It came after Kimmel threatened legal action against Rodgers, who suggested the 56-year-old host was potentially associated with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Jan. 2.
After Kimmel reiterated that he never met Epstein, he explained why he suggested in his previous post on X that they continue the matter in court.
“I suggested that if Aaron wanted to make false and very damaging statements like that that we should do it in court so he could share his proof with a judge,” Kimmel said in his monologue.
“Because when you hear a guy that won a Super Bowl and did all the State Farm commercials say something like this a lot of delusional people believe it.”

ESPN condemned Rodgers’ comments in a statement on Friday.
Aaron made a dumb and factually inaccurate joke about Jimmy Kimmel, ESPN said. It should never have happened. We all realized that in the moment.

The host was referring to previous monologues, during which he made Rodgers the butt of his jokes about QB’s stance on vaccines, among other things, dating back to 2021.
Kimmel speculated that Rodgers is seeking revenge due to their history.
Hes particularly upset, I think, because I made fun of the fact that he floated this wacko idea that the UFO sightings that were in the news in February were being reported to distract us from the Epstein list that was Aaron’s theory that he shared and I mocked,” Kimmel said.
Dear Aasshole: for the record, Ive 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 cant seem to distinguish from reality.

— Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) January 2, 2024That’s when the host played a clip of him calling the former Green Bay quarterback a “wack Packer” during a monologue in February when Rodgers first brought up the Epstein list during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Feb. 14.
“It might be time to revisit that concussion protocol, Aaron,” Kimmel quipped. Aaron Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself. Because he had success on the football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary being. He genuinely thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball, hes smarter than everyone else. The idea that his brain is just average is unfathomable to him.
We learned during COVID, somehow he knows more about science than scientists. A guy who went to community college, then got into Cal on a football scholarship and didnt graduate. Someone who never spent a minute studying the human body, is an expert in the field of immunology. He put on a magic helmet, and that G made him a genius.
“Aaron got two As on his report card, they were both in the word Aaron, OK? Can you imagine that this hamster-brained man thinks he knows what the government is up to because hes a quarterback doing research on YouTube and listening to podcasts?

“They let him host ‘Jeopardy’ for two weeks and now he knows everything,” he said.
Rodgers had a 10-episode residency as the host of “Jeopardy” in April 2021, and raised $236,725 for the North Valley Community Foundation.
Kimmel then explained why he believes Rodgers went too far with his previous comments about the Epstein list.

AP“I think Aaron Rodgers has the right to express any opinion he wants,” Kimmel continued. “But saying someone is a pedophile is not an opinion, nor is it trash talk. Sorry, Pat McAfee.
“And as far as the ‘well you say things about people all the time’ argument goes yes I do. It’s not the same. It’s not even close to the same.
“We say a lot of things on this show. We don’t make up lies. In fact, we have a team of people who work very hard to sift through facts and reputable sources before I make a joke, and that’s an important distinction.”
Kimmel added that he would accept an apology from Rodgers.
When I do get something wrong… I apologize for it, which is what Aaron Rodgers should do which is what a decent person would do,” Kimmel said.
“But I bet he wont. If he does, you know what Ill do? Ill accept his apology and move on, but he probably wont do that. My guess is he won’t apologize. I hope I’m wrong.”
McAfee apologized Wednesday for being involved in the Rodgers-Kimmel controversy, and claimed his good friend, Rodgers “was just trying to talk st.”
The ESPN host, who said he understood why Kimmel was “pissed,” explained that he hopes the two will be able to settle things outside of court.
The Pat McAfee Show airs on ESPN, while Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on ABC, both of which are owned by parent company, Disney which adds intrigue to the public feud.
Rodgers has yet to address Kimmel’s monologue, however he said Monday that he will elaborate on the controversy when he makes his weekly appearance The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.
