@@Jkzn97 1)yes he does. how many jokes about Trump wanting to date his daughter? Rodgers having a concussion? countless other examples. and the 3 guys on Pat's show were all smiling and laughing. and it's an entertainment show, not news. 2)Rodgers didn't pull it out of thin air. the whole thing started when a random internet person doctored the photo to put "IMMEL" on there, presumably to fool with his friend named Pimmel. but then it got picked up on the internet, and then Rodgers was simply repeating it. 3)jokes ARE "made up stuff". if they were true stories, they wouldn't be jokes. if it's "disparaging stuff that can ruin someone's reputation", then HELLO point the finger right back at Kimmel for doing that for a living! there's no way you can spin this so it isn't absolute hypocrisy on Jimmy's part.

Rogers joke is that Kimball doesn’t want the list to come out because it would prove Rogers right. I don’t think he meant that Kimball is on the list

[@robertstanford1778]

You couldn't be more wrong. Kimmel called Rodgers a conspiracy theorist because of his covid and vaccine positions and his spreading of harmful misinformation. He was right to do so. There is no telling how many people were harmed by the misinformation spread by people like Rodgers and Rogan. Or how many may have even died because they listened to these loons. It never had anything to do with any list. Epsteins or otherwise. BTW Trump showed up on Epsteins flight logs no less than 7 times.

[@michaelccozens]

Everybody knew there were names associated with Epstein. Those are known, inventoried legal documents, sweetie. So your contention is that Kimmel (what was that about people "not doing their research", again?) thought the list *itself* didn't exist, and that Rodgers was only discussing the existence of a list everyone already knew existed? What on Earth are you basing such ridiculous assertions upon? Of course, we both know that if you could support your nonsense, you'd have done so already. Even your lies are pathetic.

Jimmy Kimmel is a hypocrite though. He likes to have a dig at everybody else but when someone else brings it onto him, then it's a problem. Reminds me of when Drake talked about Pusha T's wife. Then Drake went silent when Pusha T returned the favor.

There are so many better ways to take a dig at Jimmy Kimmel though. Why baselessly affiliate him with a pedophile when you could just go at him for his use of blackface?

So Kimmel speaks out against the accusation that he is on the list, and that makes him a "kimmy"? (equivalent to a Karen). Rodgers insinuated that Kimmel would be on the list. The list of people who are associated with a known pedophile. As he said in his monologue, that insinuation/accusation is incredibly dangerous to him AND his family. We've all seen how people react to accusations and insinuations these days. Death threats, physical threats, etc.

Was Rodgers really insinuating kimmel was involved or that he pals around with and is a fanboi of those who were involved, from his words it's the latter. Kimmel knows this and responded as such, quite predictable. Rodgers has no reason to reply or apologize, kimmel should grow a sack as he was on the receiving end for a change... Also Pat McAfee apologized as it happened live on ESPN Stephen A... You know damn well it was forced. Disney(ABC) forced the apology as it was on ESPN directed at another talent on ABC. And you'll never see Rodgers on again and sure as hell not live. But lying about the apologies, for what? You know damn good and well those were 100% forced from the highest positions within ABC, ESPN and Disney. This is, as you would say SAS, an egregious take.

[@huchlvr]

Joking that Rodgers has CTE and wears a tin hat cause he's a wack job (true, he is) DOES NOT constitute the same as accusing - even in a joke - someone of being a predator or pedofile. Kimmel has very young children. Would you want your family to hear untrue rumors and come home beaten up or friends dropping you, because of what someone heard?!! He's also very powerful in mainstream media. Much more so than Aaron Rodgers.

I disagree with Stephen A. on this. The reason is because Aaron Rodgers didn't actually come out and accuse Jimmy Kimmel of doing anything.

Aaron Rodgers has nothing to apologize for, because he didn't accuse him of anything.
