Jimmy Kimmel monologue last night Comedian slams hamster-brained Aaron Rodgers for Jeffrey Epstein list insinuation

Blog Article

The Jimmy Kimmel vs. Aaron Rodgers feud predictably escalated on Monday after the late-night talk show host came back from a holiday hiatus and ripped into the Jets quarterback.The animosity between the two had laid dormant for nearly a week since Rodgers implied on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Jan. 2 that Kimmel's name would be on the then-unreleased Jeffrey Epstein client list.While McAfee attempted to clear the air on Wednesday, Rodgers remained silent about the barb.That sparked Kimmel to go after Rodgers on Monday in a seven-minute monologue during which he dealt blow after blow to the Jets quarterback.MORE:Below is everything to know about Kimmel's monologue as the latest chapter of this quarrel unfolds.Kimmel's monologue about Rodgers was a scathing takedown of the 40-year-old quarterback that criticized his intelligence and referred to him as arrogant.Here's a look at Kimmel's monologue, broken down piece by piece.Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel feud historyKimmel began by giving a brief backstory of his feud with Rodgers and why the talk show host was compelled to deliver this monologue."Did you hear this story about me and Aaron Rodgers, the former quarterback for the Packers? Kimmel said. "All right, so, what happened is hes a Jets quarterback now. He went on a show on ESPN, 'The Pat McAfee Show', and out of the blue insinuated that I was nervous because the Jeffrey Epstein list was coming out. He said I was hoping it wouldnt, and that he was going to pop a bottle of something to celebrate when he did."And then it did come out and of course my name wasnt on it and isnt on it and wont ever be on I dont know Jeffrey Epstein, Ive never met Jeffrey Epstein, Im not on the list, I wasnt on a plane or an island Robert Golden Jersey or anything ever and I suggested that if Aaron wanted to make false and very damaging statements like that that we should do it in court so he could share his proof with like a judge. Because, you know, when you hear a guy who won a Super Bowl and did all the State Farm commercials say something like this, a lot of people believe it."And I know this because I hear from these people often. My wife hears from them. My kids hear from them. My poor mailman hears from these people. And now were hearing from lots more of them, thanks to Aaron Rodgers, who I gue s believes one of two things. Either he actually believes my name was gonna be on Epsteins list, which is insane. Or the more likely scenario is he doesnt actually believe that, he just said it because hes mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lies about being vaccinated."Kimmel then outlined the joke he had cracked about Rodgers back in March, a point that he traces back to the origin of the feud."Hes particularly upset I think because I made fun of the fact that he floated this wacko idea that the UFO sightings that were in the news in February were being reported to distract us from the Epstein list," Kimmel said. "That was Aarons theory that he shared, and I mocked him ."Kimmel then paused to show a clip of the moment that "so badly bruised Rodgers' Thanksgiving parade-sized ego."After it aired, the talk show host finished tracing the origins of the feud to where it stands today.So he saw that and maybe to retaliate, he decided to insinuate that I am a pedophile, Kimmel said. This is how these nuts do it now. You dont like Trump, youre a pedophile. Its their go-to move, and it shows you how much they actually care about pedophilia."MORE:Jimmy Kimmel takes aim at Aaron Rodgers' intelligence with 'Dunning-Kruger' effectAfter outlining the feud, Kimmel went all-in at throwing haymakers in Rodgers' direction. The host attacked Rodgers' intelligence, referring to him as "hamster-brained," "arrogant" and "ignorant" as part of his rant."But heres the thing, I spent years doing sports. Ive seen guys like him before," Kimmel said. "Aaron Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself. Because he had succe s on a football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary being. He genuinely thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball, hes smarter than everybody else. The idea that his brain is just average is unfathomable to him."We learned during COVID somehow he knows more about science than scientists. A guy who went to community college, then got into Cal on a football scholarship, and didnt graduate. Someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of immunology. He just put on a magic helmet and that 'G' made him a genius. Aaron got two As on his report card. Donnie Shell Jersey They were both in the word Aaron, OK? And can you imagine that this hamster-brained man knows what the government is up to because hes a quarterback doing research on YouTube and listening to podcasts?I looked it up. This is actually a thing. Its called the Dunning-Kruger effect. The Dunning-Kruger is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. In other words, Aaron Rodgers is too arrogant to know how ignorant he is. They let him host 'Jeopardy!' for two weeks. Now he knows everything."Jimmy Kimmel says Aaron Rodgers should apologizeKimmel finished his monologue by saying that Rodgers has the right to speak his mind. However, he can't simply state a falsehood and pa s it off as "trash talk."And by the way, Im not one of those people that thinks athletes and members of the sports media should stick to talking about sports. I think Aaron Rodgers has the right to expre s any opinion he wants. But saying someone is a pedophile isnt an opinion nor is it trash talk, sorry Pat McAfee.Kimmel also addre sed those who might insinuate that his call-out of Rodgers might be a pot-calling-the-kettle-black situation.And as far as the 'Well, you say things about people all the time' argument goes, yes, I do. Its not the same. Its not even close to the same. We dont make up lies. In fact, we have a team of people who work very hard to work to sift through facts and reputable sources before I make a joke, and thats an important distinction. A joke about someone. Even when that someone is Donald Trump. Even a person who lies from the minute he wakes up until the minute hes smearing orange makeup on his My Pillow at night, even he deserves that consideration. And we give it to him, because the truth still matters."That's part of why Kimmel believes he is owed an apology from Rodgers.And when I do get something wrong, which happens on rare occasions, you know what I do? I apologize for it. Which is what Aaron Rodgers should do. Which is what a decent person would do. But I bet he wont. If he does, you know what Ill do, Ill accept his apology and move on. But he probably wont do that."MORE: For those hoping to see Kimmel's monologue in full, "Jimmy Kimmel Live" posted video of it on X (formerly Twitter).You can view the latest chapter of the feud below.Jimmys thoughts on quarterback Karen Rodgers Jimmy Kimmel Live Darrius Heyward-Bey Jersey (@JimmyKimmelLive) Rodgers hasn't yet responded to Kimmel's monologue, but he figures to do that Tuesday when he appears on "The Pat McAfee Show" once again.As Kimmel mentioned, Rodgers' initial remarks referenced the release of the Epstein client list, aseries of documents that provided the names of more than 150 people a sociated with the former hedge fund manager, who was arrested on sex trafficking charges in July of 2019."Theres a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that doesnt come out," Rodgers said, before adding, "If that list comes out, I'll definitely be popping some sort of bottle."Rodgers' response may have been in jest, but it clearly struck a nerve with Kimmel.And while Rodgers hasn't addre sed his comments since he made them last week, McAfee tried to clear the air around the situation involving his frequent guest and Kimmel."Theres no formal outline of what were going to talk about, how were going to talk about it,"of Rodgers' guest spot. "There is just an opportunity to talk about damn near everything for three and a half hours. And in doing so, the upside of that is some magic will come that you never knew would come on the flip side, there can be some things that could be certainly, probably, and were going to have to hear from Aaron on that, meant to be s talk jokes that then leads to a ma sive overnight story.But I can see exactly why Jimmy Kimmel felt the way he felt, especially with his position. But I think Aaron was just trying to talk s. Now, did it go too far? Jimmy Kimmel certainly said that was the case. We and I, immediately upon it happening, tried to go, ooh, ooh, ooh, no. But that is Aaron and Jimmy."We obviously dont like the fact that were a sociated with anything negative ever, McAfee added. We like our show to be an uplifting one, a happy one, a fun one. But its because we talk s and try to make light of everything, some things obviously people get very pi sed off about, especially when theyre that serious of allegations."Soon enough, we'll see how Rodgers responds to Kimmel. Either way, it appears that the 40-year-old is already failing to "flush the bulls," as he encouraged the Jets organization and his teammates to do at the end-of-season media availability on Monday."Anything in this building that we're doing individually or collectively that has nothing to do with real winning needs to be a se sed," Rodgers told reporters, per , before adding:"If you want to be a winning organization and put yourself in position to win championships and be competitive, everything that you do matters. And the bulls that has nothing to do with winning needs to get out of the building. So that'll be the focus moving forward. That's the focus of these exit interviews ."Asked Monday about the Kimmel situation, Rodgers told reporters to tune in to McAfee on Tuesday."I'm going to talk about it tomorrow on the show," .
