The Pat McAfee Show in a Pickle Following Aaron Rodgers’ ‘Epstein’ Remarks against jimmy Kimmel: Report

Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel have suddenly unfolded an ugly fiasco between them. The incident came like rain from the clear sky, as neither side saw this coming on the Pat McAfee show. However, it looks like the aftermath may not turn out to be good for the quarterback.

Rodgers recently slipped a comment, saying the comedian was hoping that the infamous Epstein list wouldn’t come out. And Jimmy Kimmel didn’t take that lightly; it got so intense that he threatened the QB with legal procedure in return. But why did Aaron Rodgers have to bring in Kimmel’s name in the first place, landing Disney and the Pat McAfee show in all kinds of trouble?

Aaron Rodgers brings back the Epstein list controversy

In a recent episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers dragged a 2-year-old story back. The Epstein List, for instance, is the document filed in court for prominent entities across various fields who supposedly had connections with late investor and convicted sexual criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

“A lot of People, including Jimmy Kimmel really hoping it doesn’t come out”, Aaron Rodgers said. Pat McAfee had a loud reaction to the comment and also recalled the time when a clip from the show was run on Kimmel’s show 2 years ago, brutally mocking the QB. Understandably, Jimmy Kimmel didn’t like the allegations at all and blasted the 4x NFL MVP with legal threats in a lengthy X post.

Rodgers even went as far as saying he will be “popping some sort of bottle” when the list finally comes out. But why does there seem to be a beef between Rodgers and Kimmel to begin with, despite the QB never directly suggesting the latter’s name would be on the list? And what does that have to do with the notorious Epstein list? There’s truly a bizarre connection.

Back when Jimmy Kimmel trolled Aaron Rodgers for vaccination views

Rodgers has infamously stayed away from the COVID-19 vaccination protocol and even opted for homeopathic crystals to fight the virus. However, things took a dirty turn when he tested positive for it in November 2021. The comedian, often not so comedic, mocked the then-Green Bay Packers QB in his show, calling him a ‘whack packer‘ and accusing him of trying to infect his teammates.

Jimmy Kimmel even staged a call with an entity portraying him as Rodgers’ homeopathic doctor. Seemingly, Rodgers has kept it in mind since. But what does that have to do with the Epstein list again? The US Defense Ministry released a series of recordings between 2020 and 2021, reportedly showing real footage of UFO encounters. But these came at a time when the atmosphere was hot with the Epstein list, following the broker’s death in the year before that.

Aaron Rodgers, although he wasn’t having any of that and despite recalling his own UFO encounter in 2016, suggested that the Pentagon released the clips only to distract people from the potential release of the trafficker’s list, which would cause havoc in the country given its attachment to multiple high-profile entities.

However, Kimmel blasted the QB for this accusation, calling him a “tin foil hatter.” This was just a year before the COVID-19 saga, which included the two again. The relationship between them has been far from smooth, and it may have reached its worst with the New York Jets star’s take. Not only Rodgers but also the entirety of the show would be in jeopardy if Kimmel decided to take matters to court.

Interestingly, both ESPN, which runs the Pat McAfee Show, and the ABC network, which runs Jimmy Kimmel Live, are owned by the Walt Disney Corporation. It will be intriguing to see how the parent company deals with its in-house fiasco that may put its reputation into question.
