Jimmy Kimmel issued a threat to Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday in response to what the New York Jets quarterback said in a TV appearance.
Rodgers was a guest for his usual Tuesday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” The subject of the list of people who had visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island was trending on the X app during the day, which led to the topic coming up during Rodgers’ appearance.
“A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said with a smile regarding the list.
Rodgers admitted he’s been anticipating the release of the list.
“If that lists comes out, I’ll definitely be popping some sort of bottle,” Rodgers said on the show.
One person who did not appreciate his name being included was Kimmel.

Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. @AaronRodgers12,” Kimmel wrote in a post on X (censored by LBS).

If anyone wants to know why Aaron Rodgers is going after Jimmy Kimmel, it’s because Kimmel absolutely roasted the hell out of him over the Covid Vaccine back in November of 2021. Starts at 6:57. #NFL #NFLTwitter https://t.co/rr5V1cBQk0

Rodgers has the memory of an elephant and doesn’t forget. He’s hoping to get his revenge on Kimmel somehow.
