Aaron Rodgers will address the Jimmy Kimmel-Jeffrey Epstein firestorm of his own making — but it won’t be today.
The star Jets quarterback said Monday that he will elaborate on the controversy Tuesday when he makes his weekly appearance on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show.”

Jimmy Kimmel, here in March 2023, called out Aaron Rodgers for his remarks on “The Pat McAfee Show” in January 2024. Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP“I’m going to talk about it tomorrow on the show. Tune in,” Rodgers, 40, told reporters.
Rodgers’ remarks Monday come nearly a week after the four-time league MVP suggested Kimmel, 56, could be named on a list of associates of the late Epstein.
The former Packers quarterback referenced Kimmel’s name on last Tuesday’s installment of “The Pat McAfee Show,” where he was discussing court documents containing a list of individuals with ties to the convicted pedophile.

“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, that are really hoping that doesn’t come out.”
Kimmel fired back at Rodgers hours later, threatening potential legal action in a pointed post on X.
“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. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. @AaronRodgers12,” Kimmel wrote.
The documents have since been released and Kimmel’s name does not appear.
