Ellise Shafer Jimmy Kimmel addressed his recent feud with New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers during his first monologue of the year on Monday night, calling him “Karen Rodgers” for suggesting that Kimmel’s name would appear on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.

During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Jan. 2, Rodgers said that “there’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that doesn’t come out.” In response, Kimmel took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to dismiss the claim and even threatened legal action, writing: “Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.” After confirming that he has never met Epstein or been on his “plane or island or anything, ever,” Kimmel said that Rodgers was probably just trying to get back at him for previously roasting him on “Live!” “Either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list, which is insane, or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that, he just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lies about being vaccinated,” Kimmel said. “He’s 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.” After playing said clip of Kimmel poking fun at Rodgers over his conspiracy theory, the host said that it “might be time” for the athlete to “revisit that concussion protocol.” “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, he’s smarter than everyone else..
