Host Pat McAfee Apologizes for Aaron Rodgers’ “Serious” On-Air Accusation About Jimmy Kimmel – E! Online

Following Rodgers’ Jan. 2 appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the Jimmy Kimmel Live host was quick to shut down the accusation that he knew Epstein. 

“Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein,” the 56-year-old wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Jan. 2. “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.”

Kimmel—who called Rodgers a “tin foil hatter” over Epstein comments in a monologue last March—also noted the impact the comments has had to those close to him. 

“Your reckless words put my family in danger,” the dad of four added. “Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

Aaron Rodgers has yet to respond publicly to Kimmel’s comments. E! News has reached out to Rodgers’ reps but has not heard back.
