Aaron Rodgers has returned to the legendary Pat McAfee show! He did not appear on the show ever since comedian Jimmy Kimmel and Rodgers got embroiled in a messy feud. The incident occurred when Rodgers, by mistake, took up the Epstein List in the discussion regarding Kimmel. However, things became intense when Jimmy took Rodger’s statement seriously, and even brought legal matters into the mix.
Days after the clash, Rodgers is back on the show. This time, the discussion revolved around Bill Belichick’s dismissal from the New England Patriots. However, the debate took a funny turn when Pat candidly bantered for about twenty seconds about the star QB Rodgers on his show amidst his lines on Bill Belichick’s dismissal.

In the latest episode of the Pat McAfee show, former NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers talked about his viewpoint on New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and Nick Saban retiring. During the discussion, Rodgers discussed the love and attainments of both coaches in their careers and considered them “lifers.” Interestingly, after the four-time MVP left the show, Pat and the hosts candidly poked fun at Rodgers, with regards to the ongoing Jimmy Kimmel feud. Initially, the hosts said, “He’s not allowed on the show; he can’t come to the show.“To that, Pat answered, “Yeah, we must have called the wrong person.”
Pat is commenting on a recent clash between comedian Jimmy Kimmel and Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. During an episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers mentioned Epstein’s list about Kimmel, saying that there are people, including Kimmel, who are hoping the list does not come out. The list contains the names of people involved with the disgraced billionaire, who were unsealed following a federal judge’s ruling in December. This statement angered Kimmel, who referred to Rodgers as arrogant on his X account and initiated a legal dispute, claiming that Rodgers’ view put his family in danger. As a result, McAfee announced on Wednesday that Rodgers is no longer part of the show, as he was dissatisfied with how things escalated and happy that it won’t happen again.
Although things were later settled by Rodgers, that probably led to his comeback in the show. However, this is not the first time the duo has been entangled in such a controversy!

Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel’s messy history
In November 2021, Jimmy Kimmel criticized Rodgers for hiding his vaccination status during the NFL season. Rodgers was a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Moreover, he indicated the risk associated with not being vaccinated, saying, “The fact of the matter is that the risk of dying from COVID is 11 times higher if you aren’t vaccinated.
Another instance is when Rodgers first opened up about Epstein’s list being associated with Kimmel in March 2023. While adding a view to Rodger’s conspiracy theory, Jimmy regarded Rodgers as “whack-packer Aaron Rodgers” and made fun of his mental state, suggesting it was time to revisit Rodgers’s concussion protocol.
