Rodgers, 40, suggested during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on January 2 that Kimmel is connected to the "list" of associates of Jeffrey Epstein, the former financier arrested on sex-trafficking charges in 2019. Rodgers didn't provide any reason or evidence to support linking Kimmel to the list, and the 56-year-old comedian hasn't appeared in the documents that have been released.

What Led to the Controversy?
Jimmy Kimmel is not taking lightly the recent comments made by NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

On a few occasions, Kimmel expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, "If I make a mistake, if I say something that is dumb, which I have, you know what I do? I apologize for it—which is what Aaron Rodgers should do," Kimmel said. "Which is what a decent person would do, but I bet he won't. If he does, you know what I'll do? I'll accept his apology and move on."

How Did Rodgers Respond to Kimmel's Monologue?
Rodgers was back on the podcast Tuesday—hours after Kimmel's scathing monologue—and didn't offer an apology to the TV host.

Instead, he said his comments were misinterpreted and that he wasn't trying to insinuate Kimmel was involved in any criminal activity. "I'm not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence, concrete evidence. That's ridiculous," Rodgers said.

Why Won't Rodgers Appear on McAfee's Show Again?
After the appearance drew even more attention to the spat, McAfee announced on his show Wednesday that Rodgers won't appear again through the rest of the NFL season.
