Former Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers has gotten himself in the middle of a major feud with comic Jimmy Kimmel, for comments he made on the Pat McAfee show last week hinting Jimmy Kimmel would be on the Jeffrey Epstein list and he will pop a bottle of champagne when it happens.
Howard Stern is now chiming in.
The comments from Rodgers spiraled into an all-out feud, when Kimmel threatened to take the New York Jets QB to court over what he said was a completely non-factual statement, noting he, his wife and kids have faced threats over the comments.
NEW: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he will pop "some sort of bottle" when the Epstein associates list is released and suggests Jimmy Kimmel will be named.
Everyone is excited 🔥
“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel are really hoping that doesn't come out.”

On Tuesday, longtime radio host Howard Stern — who is good friends with Kimmel — went on a short tirade about Rodgers attacking Jimmy Kimmel. He clearly isn’t thrilled about the situation.
“It was a rumor that I had to help Jimmy Kimmel get rid of any evidence he was on Epstein Island,” Stern began. Can you believe that? I wrote Jimmy. I said ‘what the fuck is up with Aaron Rodgers what a fucking vicious thing to say”
Like Kimmel did last night in a seven minute monologue it open his show, Howard Stern attacked the NFL star quarterback’s intelligence.
“You know what it is, when someone is not witty and they are in a feud with someone (who isn’t Witty Stern’s co-host Robin Quivers added). Nowadays what they do is they just make up shit about you. They make up a conspiracy theory. It’s fucking outrageous. I got really pissed off about that, like dude you want to attack Jimmy, attack him but that’s like saying, ‘oh he has HIV,’ or something.”
”He has unprotected sex and he has HIV,” Quivers chimed in.
Howard Stern continued on his tirade aimed at the former Green Bay Packers QB.
“He had sex with farm animal, like what are you doing? You can’t just make something up in a public forum. Very upsetting.”
Stern then asked Quivers the current status of the Epstein list investigation and she responded “it’s the same names, there’s nothing new.”
He then finished his rant acting like Rodgers took a bunch of money from the Jets and got purposefully injured.
“But this Aaron Rodgers, isn’t that the guy from the Jets that made all that money for not playing? What’s his beef with Jimmy? You mean Aaron Rodgers wanted to attack Jimmy so he just made up a thing and called him pedophile or something, geez.?”
Like Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel Attacked Intelligence Of Former Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Last Night
Even after his serious threat to take Rodgers to court over the claim — which could have been a joke or something the Jets QB truly heard or believed, Kimmel opened his late night show on ABC on Monday night with a seven-minute monologue defending himself, while bashing the former Packer as much as possible.
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.

After explaining the entire feud to the audience and swearing he never met Epstein, flew on his private jet or stepped foot on the island he owned, Jimmy Kimmel began to take person shots at Rodgers’ intelligence.
“Here’s the thing Aaron Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself, because he had success on the football field and he believes himself to be an extraordinary being. He genuinely thinks because God gave him the ability to throw a ball. The idea his brain is just just average and he’s not smarter than everyone else is in fathomable to him. We learned during COVID he knows more about science than scientists.
A guy who went to community college and then got into Cal on a football scholarship and didn’t graduate, someone who didn’t spend a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of immunology”
Howard Stern may side with Kimmel, but the late-night host may have made some new enemies that are Green Bay Packers fans in his next statement.
“He put on a magic helmet and that G made him a genius,” Kimmel Aaron got two A’s on his report card and they were both in the word, Aaron, Ok.”
“And can you imagine this hampster-brained man knows more than the government does because he’s a quarterback doing research on YouTube and listening to podcasts. I looked it up, it’s called the Dunning Kruger effect. The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.”
“In other words, Aaron Rodgers is to arrogant to know how ignorant he is.”
This back-and-forth is getting out of control, and while Jimmy Kimmel said he would forgive the former Packer if he simply apologized, that seems like a doubtful conclusion after Monday night’s bashing of the New York Jets franchise QB.
