In this story:

Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air for his first show of 2024 on Monday night, and it didn’t take him long to go off on Aaron Rodgers over the baseless claims the QB made about Kimmel and Jeffrey Epstein. 

Kimmel immediately addressed the comments Rodgers made last week during his appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, saying the New York Jets QB “has a very high opinion of himself; because he had success on the football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary human being. He genuinely thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball he’s smarter than everyone else.”

Here’s his complete takedown of Rodgers: 

Rodgers is scheduled to make his weekly appearance on McAfee’s show on Tuesday afternoon.
