Jimmy Kimmel didn’t waste a single second on Monday night.
In his return to the air on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the late-night host kicked off his monologue right away by talking about New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who made baseless claims about Kimmel potentially being on the Jeffrey Epstein list. Rodgers did that on Pat McAfee’s ESPN show and promised that he’d address it again on Tuesday.
But Kimmel got in the next word. He broke down how we got here, looking back at how making fun of Rodgers which “so badly bruised his Thanksgiving Parade-sized ego.” Then, he spoke about how Rodgers believes he’s smarter than everyone else and it was off to the roasting of the quarterback, a full seven minutes devoted to ripping the QB:
Perfect nightcap…7 minutes of Jimmy Kimmel roasting Aaron Rodgers 🤣

Kimmel is spot on here. The accusations are not OK, not “trash talk,” not anything, and we’ll see if Rodgers decides to apologize on Tuesday after doing some damage with his words.
