Jimmy Kimmel won’t let go of his feud with Aaron Rodgers, blasting the NFL player during his late-night show for trying to tie him to notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein …. explaining the impact it had on him and his family.
In his opening monologue Monday night, the host of “Jimmel Kimmel Live” came out swinging against Aaron, who claimed on the “Pat McAfee Show” that “I was nervous” that the “Epstein list” was coming out and “I was hoping it wouldn’t.”

Jimmy Kimmel Threatens Aaron Rodgers with Legal Action After Jeffrey Epstein Claim
Last week, court documents related to Epstein’s underage sex ring were unsealed, revealing some prominent names — although not Jimmy’s — connected to the now deceased former business tycoon.
Jimmy made it abundantly clear he had never met Epstein – and Aaron had defamed him, daring the Super Bowl champ to share any evidence in court.
Jimmy noted that Aaron’s many fans believed the lies, putting the funnyman and his family in the crosshairs of “delusional” people who became spiteful.
He also speculated on why Rodgers made the false claim, coming up with several scenarios, before hitting on the most likely one … Aaron is still mad at Jimmy for roasting him over his appearance and “wacko” beliefs.
As you probably recall … Jimmy poked fun at Aaron’s hair knot on top of his head and his anti-vaccination “lies” re: coronavirus.
Jimmy’s monologue went on and on before he asked for an apology, and he promised to accept … although JK is not holding his breath.
We’ll see if Aaron takes the bait. Don’t wait by the phone, Jimmy.
