Jimmy Kimmel lashed out at Aaron Rodgers during Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the New York Jets quarterback implied the late-night host’s name would be named as one of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates.

If he’d just shut up it wouldn’t get talked about.
Just throwing it out there when he belittles Aaron Rogers schooling/intellect.
