Jimmy Kimmel reignited his feud with Aaron Rodgers on Monday, calling the Jets quarterback a “hamster brain” and demanding he apologize for recent comments about Jeffrey Epstein.
ABC star Kimmel threatened to sue the four-time NFL MVP, calling him an “asshole” and accusing him of putting his family in danger after Rodgers suggested that Kimmel was on disgraced financier Epstein's list of associates could stand.
“A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are hoping that this list won’t be made public,” the quarterback said.
But during a wild monologue on “Karen Rodgers,” Kimmel said, “If I do something wrong — which is on rare occasions — do you know what I do?” I apologize for that — and that's exactly what Aaron Rodgers should do.
“What a decent person would do.” But I bet that won't be the case. If he does, I will accept his apology and move on. But I suspect he won't apologize, I hope I'm wrong.'
Jimmy Kimmel reignited his feud with Aaron Rodgers, branding the Jets star a “hamster brain.”
Rodgers suggested on the Pat McAfee Show that Kimmel would be on Jeffrey Epstein's client list
The late-night host ended his seven-month grilling with a dig at Rodgers' first season in New York, in which the quarterback tore his Achilles tendon after four snaps – and the Jets missed the playoffs.
“I also want to congratulate Aaron Rodgers for doing the impossible,” Kimmel said. “He made the New York Jets look even worse.”
Rodgers has vowed to crack down on the riot during his next appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.
The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host originally threatened to take Rodgers to court. “Because when you hear a guy who has won a Super Bowl and been in all the State Farm commercials, a lot of people believe him,” he explained.
“Many delusional people honestly believe that I meet with Tom Hanks and Oprah at Shakey's (Pizza) once a week to eat pizza and drink the blood of children.

“I know this because I hear from these people a lot, my wife hears from them, my kids hear from them, my poor mailman hears from these people.” And now, thanks to Aaron Rodgers, we hear from a lot more of them.
The couple has been feuding for some time and Kimmel believes Rodgers' recent comments were merely “retaliation” after he “severely damaged Aaron's Thanksgiving parade-sized ego” by mocking him last year.
“Either he actually believes that my name would be on Epstein's list – which is crazy – or the more likely scenario is that he doesn't actually believe that and just said it because he's mad at me for speaking out about his “Hairknot made fun of me.” “His lies about the vaccination,” said the host.
“I think he's particularly upset because I made fun of him for promoting the crazy idea that the UFO sightings that were in the news in February were meant to distract us from the Epstein list.” That was Aaron's theory, which he shared and which I scoffed at.'
The late-night TV host responded angrily to X, saying Rodgers' claims had “put my family in danger.”
Kimmel continued, “So he saw that and maybe, to retaliate, he insinuated that I was a pedophile.” That's what these crazy people are doing now: You don't like Trump, you're a pedophile. This is their first choice and shows how much they care about pedophilia.”
The TV host then mocked Rodgers' intelligence, suggesting that the quarterback believes “he's smarter than everyone else because God gave him the ability to throw a ball.”
“The idea that his brain is just average is unimaginable to him,” Kimmel said. “Aaron had two A’s on his report card and both were in the Word of Aaron.”
“Can you imagine this hoarder brain thinking he knows what the government is up to because he's a quarterback who researches YouTube and listens to podcasts?” Kimmel continued. “Aaron Rodgers is too arrogant to know how ignorant he is.”
