Jimmy Kimmel hit again at Aaron Rodgers in the course of the opening monologue of Jimmy Kimmel Dwell! on Monday, calling the New York Jets quarterback a “hamster-brained man” who was “too conceited to be ignorant.”
Throughout an look on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Present final week, Rodgers advised with out proof that Kimmel’s identify would seem in courtroom paperwork itemizing him as an affiliate of late intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein. “There’s lots of people, together with Jimmy Kimmel, actually hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers remarked. “I’ll inform you what, if that checklist comes out, I positively will probably be popping some form of bottle.”
Kimmel initially responded to Rodgers on Twitter, stating that he had by no means had any contact with Epstein, and that his identify wouldn’t be discovered on any checklist “apart from the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like your self can’t appear to differentiate from actuality.” He additionally threatened Rogers with authorized motion: “Your reckless phrases put my household in peril. Stick with it and we are going to debate the details additional in courtroom.”
Kimmel’s identify was actually nowhere to be discovered when the Epstein paperwork had been launched late final week, main the tv persona to spike the soccer (and take some pot pictures at Rodgers’ mind throughout Monday’s episode of his late-night speak present).
“I don’t know Jeffrey Epstein. I’ve by no means met Jeffrey Epstein. I used to be not on an inventory, or a aircraft, or an island or something ever. And I advised that if Aaron needed to make false and really damaging statements like that, that we must always do it in courtroom so he may share his proof with, like, a choose,” Kimmel stated throughout his monologue. “As a result of while you hear a man who received a Tremendous Bowl and did all of the State Farm commercials say one thing like this, lots of people imagine him. A number of delusional individuals truthfully imagine that I’m assembly up with Tom Hanks and Oprah at Shakey’s as soon as every week to eat pizza and drink the blood of kids.”
Kimmel theorized that a part of the explanations Rogers got here after him is as a result of he beforehand made a joke about him being a conspiracy theorist. “He’s significantly upset I feel as a result of I made enjoyable of the truth that he floated this wacko concept that the UFO sightings that had been within the information in February [2023] had been being reported to distract us from the Epstein checklist. That was Aaron’s concept that he stated, and I mocked [him].”
“So he noticed that and perhaps to retaliate, he determined to insinuate that I’m a pedophile,” Kimmel continued. “That is how these nuts do it now. You don’t like Trump, you’re a pedophile. It’s their go-to transfer, and it reveals you ways a lot they really care about pedophilia.”
Not stopping there, Kimmel additional mocked Rogers for having “very excessive opinion of himself.”
“As a result of he had success on a soccer subject, he believes himself to be a unprecedented being. He genuinely thinks that as a result of God gave him the flexibility to throw a ball, he’s smarter than everyone else,” Kimmel remarked. “The concept his mind is simply common is unfathomable to him. We discovered throughout COVID in some way he is aware of extra about science than scientists.”
“A man who went to group school, then received into Cal on a soccer scholarship, and didn’t graduate. Somebody who by no means spent a minute learning the human physique is an skilled within the subject of immunology. He simply placed on a magic helmet and that ‘G’ made him a genius. Aaron received two As on his report card. They had been each within the phrase Aaron… Are you able to think about that this hamster-brained man thinks he is aware of what the federal government is as much as as a result of he’s a quarterback doing analysis on YouTube and listening to podcasts?”
Kimmel stated he would settle for an apology from Rodgers, however he isn’t anticipating one.
