The beginning of the year 2024 has been quite eventful for Jimmy Kimmel, as he started off his first show of the new year by addressing a story involving Aaron Rodgers, the former quarterback for the Packers. Rodgers insinuated on Pat McAfee's show that Jimmy was nervous about the Jeffrey Epstein list being released, hoping his name wouldn't be on it. However, Jimmy firmly denies any involvement with Epstein and challenges Rodgers to present his proof in court.
Jimmy goes on to express his frustration with people who believe false conspiracy theories about him, and he jokes about people believing the absurd idea that he eats pizza and drinks the blood of children with Tom Hanks and Oprah. He revealed that he receives constant messages from delusional individuals who believe these lies, and Rodgers' false statement only exacerbates the situation. Jimmy criticizes Rodgers for acting out of resentment for Jimmy's previous comments about Rodgers' "top knot and vaccination lies."
Furthermore, Jimmy mocks Rodgers' belief that UFO sightings were being reported to distract from the Epstein list release. He suggests that Rodgers' arrogance stems from his success on the football field, making him believe he is intellectually superior. Jimmy emphasizes the importance of fact-checking and responsible journalism, contrasting his own team's thorough research process with Rodgers' reliance on YouTube and podcasts.
Jimmy condemns Rodgers for crossing a line by accusing him of being a pedophile. He emphasizes that this is not an opinion or harmless trash talk, and demands an apology if Rodgers wants to rectify the situation. You can hear more above.
