The battle between Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers started in early January. Kimmel hasn’t been able to take a sweet nap till now, as Rodgers has yet to apologize for his insulting joke about Kimmel. Since then, Kimmel slapped the quarterback twice. First, the comedian took X to hit the 40-year-old by calling him an a***hole and threatening to sue him and later on his show.
Soon after the incident, those who are indirectly linked with it, like Pat McAfee, the show host and the broadcaster ESPN, apologized for the player’s statement.

McAfee said Aaron’s comments were just a joke, and ESPN said that Rodgers made a dump and inaccurate comments to Kimmel. But apologies from the two don’t have much effect in the Rodgers-Kimmel war. Neither Kimmel nor Rodger is ready to stop the controversies soon, and both are standing still on their position.
In response, the quarterback in a recent video took one hand to the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”. The former Super Bowl champion said, “I think it’s impressive a man who went to Arizona State and had ten joke writers can read off a prompter.”
While Rodger started by saying, “asked forward to ahh… again on prompt we are talking on our show
as we do about a lot of different topics. Somehow the Epstein topic comes up and I said it’s interesting. They are for a long time even still there hasn’t been a list been released. There has been one persons you know deposition from 2015 kits alright!” For sure fans will see another response soon from Kimmel about Rodgers’s recent comments.

The comedian stated, “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.” Kimmel didn’t stop here and continued by saying, “We learned during COVID, somehow, he knows more about science than scientists.”
The interesting claim made by Kimmel was, “A guy who went to community college, then got into Cal on a football scholarship and didn’t graduate. Someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of immunology.” The word and counter-word battle between Rodger and Kimmel continues to warm up the headlines, and there will be a lot more to come.
