Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Aaron Rodgers
During his first show of 2024, Jimmy Kimmel took the opportunity to address recent comments made by Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers had suggested that Kimmel was involved in the unsealing of court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which Kimmel vehemently denied.
Kimmel responded to Rodgers' comments in a viral post on X, denying any connection to Epstein and threatening legal action against the NFL quarterback. Rodgers had stated that he would address the issue on 'The Pat McAfee Show,' but Kimmel beat him to it with his monologue.
Kimmel's Response and Criticism of Rodgers
In his monologue, Kimmel called Rodgers 'Karen Rodgers' and denied any association with Epstein. He speculated that Rodgers might be upset with him for mocking his top knot hairstyle and his controversial views on UFO sightings and the Epstein case.
Kimmel criticized Rodgers for insinuating that he is a pedophile, highlighting how such accusations are often used as a smear tactic. He also criticized Rodgers' inflated sense of self-importance and his tendency to share opinions outside of his area of expertise.
Kimmel's Expectations and Closing Remarks
Kimmel expressed the hope that Rodgers would apologize for his comments, stating that it would be the decent thing to do. However, he doubted that Rodgers would take this step. Kimmel ended his monologue by sarcastically congratulating Rodgers for making the New York Jets even worse.
