Jimmy Kimmel goes scorched earth on Aaron Rodgers after Jeffrey Epstein list speculation

Jimmy Kimmel threatened to see Aaron Rodgers “in court” if the Jets quarterback kept insinuating that the late-night host had a relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Kimmel’s fiery response stems from Rodgers’ appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday.

Rodgers, 40, was explaining on the program how the official colors of the Super Bowl logo foretold the last two NFL title matchups, and this year indicated a finale between the Ravens and 49ers.

His former teammate A.J. Hawk interjected, “Does this have something to do with the Epstein list that came out?”

The ex-NFL linebacker was referring to a list of more than 100 names with ties to Epstein that are set to be revealed after a Manhattan federal judge’s December decision.

“It’s supposed to be coming out soon,” Rodgers said of the list, adding, with a smirk, “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, that are really hoping that doesn’t come out.”

McAfee laughed and explained that Rodgers still held a grudge from earlier this year from when Kimmel, 56, called the quarterback a “tin foil hatter” for wryly wondering if U.S. government UFO disclosures were a distraction from ultimate Epstein revelations.

“Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any ‘list’ other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. @AaronRodgers12,” Kimmel tweeted.

In another wrinkle to the Rodgers remarks, McAfee’s show airs on ESPN, which is under the Disney umbrella with ABC, where Kimmel hosts his late-night program.
