Imagine thinking that an accusation ofnpedophilia is equivalent to an on air joke
He didn’t accuse him or even imply he was on the list. The videos from March are on the internet for everyone to see. He was simply calling out Kimmel for what he said in March
@@PierreCausemybladderisempty You and most logical people understand. Kimmell started it all and defamed AR many times. Kimmell also stands behind Alec Baldwin because he sure wont stand in front of him.
@@Physics072 Bull, if he defamed A-a-ron, then he would have been sued by Hamster brain. The fact is that he hasn't been sued and your just mad because his humor has fact behind it that paints your hamster brain god in a poor light.
@@TempoPrimo2023 Just watch the stuff Kimmell said to him unprovoked over the last 2 years. AR is tough not a wimp, he wont sue. Im not a fan of AR not my NFL team just saw how it played out who started it and yes Kimmell can dish it out but cant take it. Hypocrite and weak.
Tbh, Rodgers didn't say Kimmel was on the list but he said *Kimmel doesn't like the list to come out*
His best friend was Epstein’s private chef.
He reaction is so guilty.
Way to defend your boy . His comments are about as reckless as his baseless vaccine conspiracies
@GT-cj6yc ,too bad there isn't a vaccine for raising iq scores.
Rodger’s was waaaaaayyyyy out of line
I think we are learning that “locker room talk” is never a working excuse. Didn’t work for Trump either.
yes it did doink squeezer it was true and he got elected. It didn’t have to cheat.
It did tho
@@boyofpsummer So, do you actually believe that Trump has ever seen the inside of a gym? LOL!😂
Does it work for brandon?
yet Kimmel, Fallon, Cobert, et-al...all make outlandish comments about Trump without any evidence. But that's ok...they're part of the liberl left wing woke mob
Team Aaron. Jimmy makes a living bashing non-Leftists.
Seeing how scared these guys are of a lawsuit and how fast they were to apologize, it’s pretty obvious who is telling lies.
LoL, please. It's because they both work for the woke mouse.
democrats
You're slow
@@mabalicksbyyuo-sr7xk You think it was democrats threatening his child?
@@DesignRhythm Wahhhhhh "the woke mouse" .... pathetic.
Listen.....the apology from McAfee was as limp and mild as they come.
He shouldn’t have to have apologized anyway. It’s a live show, he can’t control everything that’s said at all times.
Cry about it
@@wesleybeacom seems like he is😂
Host should have called rogers out but of course didn't!
Who apologizes on Jimmy's behalf for ANYTHING that he says or does?
If Jimmy can make fun of Aaron, Aaron can return the favor 😅
Exactly!! Kimmel is so soft for this
No not the same. This affected the family (falsely). Aaron is also the fool that thinks vaccines are whack.
How did Kimmel put his Aaron Roger’s life in danger?
@@ezyduzit423 If you were the one receiving threats on your family, you probably would feel different.
jimmy kimmel on the list
Rodgers is a perfect representive of the far-right and MAGAts.
Rodger’s made a funny joke. Kimmel wouldn’t understand humor.
Funniest thing Rodgers ever did was carry that flag out on the field then crumble to the ground like a dilapidated clown.
@@40pxtriggered
@@40pxfunniest thing is Kimmel couldn’t ever get on the field or the stage and be good at it.
Jimmy is experiencing karma for mocking Britney Spears.
Imagine making a living talking 💩 about ppl then crying when one claps back 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!
He didn’t cry. Rodger’s shouldn’t say that. That could legit ruin a man’s life. That’s not funny
@@Kobe24brady12 gimme a break. Kimmel says awful things about people every day
@@Kobe24brady12 it wasn’t funny it was hilarious 😂
If I was Rodgers' lawyer, I would tell my client to cut back on the libelous statements about public figures and apologize. Kimmel's poop talking, in Rodgers' case, is not libelous for having been vetted carefully before it ever went into the teleprompter. Joking about a guy's terrible haircut is not libel. Intimating that a man consorted with a criminal he has never met is libel.
You forgot to mention that Kimmel is best friends with Epstein’s personal chef 😂
Conspiracy theory believe in Unicorns and big foot too🤡🤡🤡
@@erictalbert4633 look it up. Kimmel invested in two of his steakhouses that failed. They spend holidays together.
@@erictalbert4633Unicorns are real, big foot is just a monkey walking.
@@erictalbert4633 So facts are now conspiracy theories to democrats?
For someone who cracks jokes about everyone else he sure is sensitive
Jimmy can dish it out but can’t take it… now THAT’S funny.
That is not true. Jimmy should sue the crap out of this jerk. That will teach him.
@@ridingmoon1617 careful you might choke on it.
@@ridingmoon1617Jimmy is on the list. Rodgers should sue jimmy. Trump never went to the island, but he will be your president again 🤭 cry harder
There is a difference in Jimmy Kimmel cracking jokes based of things that are already out there in public for the world to see than accusing a person of something without any facts to back up what you are saying that could potentially get someone in legal trouble an destroy their reputation an marriage is totally different, Aaron Rodgers was bogus for that.
@@CharlesWilkinson-yc3dmSo, can Rodgers make the jokes in 3 months after the information has finally been sorted through? Or is that not acceptable either
Little Jimmy ran crying to mommy and daddy at Disney is the reason McAfee had to apologize
Jimmy is paying the price for mocking Britney Spears by airing Kelly Clarkson's reaction. Karma, Jimmy, karma!
🤡
I assumed that since Kimmel has become the Hollywood Elite's favorite little waterboy/cheerleader -- THAT was the reason Rodgers was suggesting Kimmel didn't want the list to come out, because some of Kimmel's new friends might be named. Not that he was specifically saying Kimmel was on the list.
That's a serious stretch.
Jimmy is on the list! Trump never went to the island, but he will be your president again 🤭 cry harder
Kimmel is buddies with and an investor of epsteins private chef...facts
@@BIGMIKESKNUTTS keep coping
Only a vax denier would say that because they don’t believe in facts. You know two plus two.
“Calling it locker room talk”
*proceeds to show a clip where no one says the words locker room talk*
🤓
When in the history of “locker room talk” has anyone in the locker room said “locker room talk “ before proceeding with locker room talk..?
Are you slow?
@@MisterRawgersnowadays I’m not too quick. probably run about 5.0 in the 40
Is this a serious comment?😂
There's more of a chance of Jimmy being on the plane than Roger's dying from cov!d
The way Kimmel went on about a list was odd to say the least...like it wasn't just about his friend who was Epstein's chef.
Being on the "list" ain't no locker room talk.
I thought it was funny and so did everyone else in that studio
@@tcolley usually it's funny until someone's feeling gets hurt.
I’m with Rodgers.
Congratulations. When's the due date?
Rodgers backed Kaepernick. I’m with him on that
@@johncooper7663 I’m not with Rodgers on that.
Jimmy is such a clown.
Kimmel is on the list
pfft. it was a tasteless heckle. A real comedian would know how to handle that.
Back in the day when Jimmy was co host of 'The Man Show' he was a much different person than he is now, so it's not an unrealistic statement.
Ok, trumpty.
@@kurt1526 what?... How is this being a trumpty? It's true, he had a very degrading show called "The Man Show" and now he sits on his throne telling everyone else how misogynistic they are. The guys is one of the worst
@@jacoboneil9406 no you're just a crazy person
@@cc22fulhow so?
@@jacoboneil9406 Because you're not toeing the line.
“Host” … video barely has 60k views🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡 congrats TODAY… YOU WON
Why even apologize for this. Who cares.
Because he works with ESPN No nuts
Doony Double Dip is a total waste of human brain function
@@timothymcgettigan8264 you gotta get off your knees bud. Jimmy isn’t your friend 😂
Aaron Rodgers is not a smart man, just facts.
I dont think kimmel is on the list but jesus man, the lady doth protest too much
The epistein remark is not a funny joke.
Right it’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes it is
Just another example of how these people whitewash thier words. At least he had the balls to apologize.
Kimmel can dish it out, but when it happens to him, he whines like a baby. Good to see Karma come back to bite him. Maybe in the future, Kimmel will stop telling lies about people, but I doubt he will learn from this.
Locker room talk is a brilliant excuse
It worked for orange man.
i think its just supposed to be an explanation, not excusing that it happened. I mean he pretty much says its too far outside of a "locker room" being a public podcast
If I was a betting man, Kimmel went to the island
He never said Kimmel was on it… just that he didn’t want it to be released… Which he clearly doesn’t
He clearly doesn’t? Based on what?
That's quite a 'theory.' Do you have any proof of that?
@@johncooper7663 His reaction stupid.
@@sammccue500 What grade are you in?
🤡
Kimmel dishes, Kimmel better take.
I really think there is something wrong with Rogers.
Why is that? Can you be any more vague?
I really think there is something wrong with noreenfrontera313
Why? Bc he made a lame joke about a comedian who was fueding with him? This joke was tame, I can’t believe anyone is offended by this.
Did you get the clot shots?
Look at all the conspiracy idiots in this comment section. He's not alone, unfortunately. These people are very dangerous.
Pat Macafee is wimp .
McAfee is worried about getting sued or worse, getting dropped by ESPN.
Not really, he could take a huge portion of ESPN's viewers if he wanted, he doesn't have a beef with Jimmy so he won't start any with Jimmy, Pat is always about making friends because he is the best networker in sports industry and he knows the value of friendship. Aaron may not but he doesn't have to be, he's set for the rest of his life either way
Now seeing him say it, it just sounds like a joke. It wasn’t that horrible.
He’s not laughing now😂
Kimmel stated he did not want list to come out on his show .
The list came out an his name is not even on it.
They have the same chef
Kimmel can dish it out but can’t take it when someone punches back
There are jokes then there is slander. Different things
@@johncooper7663 Why do you feel that you need to lie janice. You supported the woke trash at harvard too.
@@mtmta2009 Stop crying. Rodgers is a millionaire footballer. He could care less about you. Get a real hero. Like me
@@johncooper7663aren’t they calling Kimmel a comedian? So you know how far comedian stretch with their jokes? So is Kimmel not a comedian?
WHEN YOU THROW DISS ON SOMEBODY TO MAKE FUN OF YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO RECEIVE IT😂😂😂
I mean Rodgers was right though Kimmel is on the list
Stop lying
Yeah Kimmel, stop lying.
KIMMEL IS NOT ON THE LIST!!
Ohhh Pat grow a pair bro . Your caving to the woke mob
I like rogers more now. And I hope Disney goes under
Aaron should put kimmel in his place. He basically told the world that aaron rodgers was not free to persue his own health and was a quack. When a person tells the world your a quack i say its game on for aaron to say anything he wants
Likes to dish it but can't handel it when he gets it. Tell jimmy to stop being a wussy, he claims to be a comedian.
I thought you couldn’t out roast a good comedian because a good comedian will get you right back and even worse but I forgot jimmy isn’t even funny
It was a joke! Good grief! TODAY REPORTERS: Why don’t you focus on Jimmy slamming Aaron for his Covid choices and how it affected his life, finances, and sponsors? Nope didn’t hear any news on that.
Jimmy Kimmel is so corny
If MCAFEE didn’t call up Kimmel and apologize personally. And only did it while waving his hands on his show…. Then he’s a coward.
No he didn't appear to suggest that. You people are liars who jumped to incorrect conclusions.
He wasn't making fun of Kimmel. Just everyone Kimmel worships
Let Kimmel clarify his claims about his family being put in danger.
I mean it's America with no gun regulation and this is a very serious charge. Which is proven to be wrong.
@@palmoartstudio nah there’s gun regulation all over the place. No one follows it though. Even the presidents family doesn’t follow them. It’s sad.
@@palmoartstudiowhat!? Chicago has TONS of gun regulations....
@@palmoartstudioLol no gun regulation
Remember when Jimmy wore blackface? Pepperidge Farms remembers 😂
This is that corporate media I've learned about.
I lost a lot of respect for Kimmel, how can you be a professional “comedian” and get so butt hurt about a joke???🤡
You had respect for the former man Jimmy?
@@joekoz3815 I at least didn’t think he was this sensitive and soft, and he co created crank yankers and the man show … he use to be funny
The more you know about Aaron Rogers, the more he becomes dislikable.
They are both antagonists. What’s good for the goose…… come on Jimmy. Ok for you but nobody else? 🤔
Yeah because they're afraid they will be sued for defamation.
Funny, Kimmel makes his living (albeit a crappy job) slam dunking everyone else. Apparently it's off limits for anyone to do the same to him. What a hypo !
Cellar Dweller
4 snaps and a basement full of wine.
I am surprised Jimmy Kimmel hasn't been named on the list yet too. Rumors have been around about all the late night guys. Epstien was involved with A LOT of people in the entertainment industry. Jimmy is pretty mean spirited and picks on people all the time. Seems he is being a baby. 😅
😂😂😂😂
He is name came out today
@@jaisonj92 Stop lying
You’re probably on the list but you want them to focus on jimmy. See how opinions work? This is fun
@@johncooper7663 You sound like your feelings are hurt 😂 Just wait. Jimmy Kimmel lives in a glass house. Sooner or later stuff will come out.
I am blown away that people are making such a big deal about this. It’s two famous people fueding with each other and going back and forth publicly. That was such a tame joke it blows my mind anyone cares. On top of that his joke was directed towards a comedian. I remember when comedians would absolutely blast each other publicly and no one even blinked an eye. Now comedians are such babies they threaten to sue over a lame joke. Makes me wonder if people in the know actually do know that Kimmel is a weirdo and that’s why he’s behaving this way.
Strange that you keep referring to this as a joke. Rodgers didn’t mean it as a joke - his intention was to harm Kimmel. Looks like it backfired.
@@DonnaAbrams-qh7ztjimmy is on the list😭
@@funtimenotalongtime6122 Funny no news channels mentioned that yesterday when the first documents were releases. You have inside information?
@@DonnaAbrams-qh7zt Yes, most times at the core of a joke is an intention to hurt someone. When Kimmel made fun of Rodgers for not taking the vaccine his intention was also to shame Rodgers. Maybe Rodgers joke in your opinion took it further than Kimmel’s joke but they were both intended to shame the other. And maybe Rodgers was wrong for taking it too far but to threaten to sue when you’re a comedian who makes a living making fun of people is wrong. I’m sure Kimmel has shamed people who believe he took it too far as well.
@@DonnaAbrams-qh7zt just wait karen.
Funny how jimmie kimmel can say what ever he wants but as soon as rodgers says something hes suing . What a joke
Is that your takeaway from this? 😐🙄
Imagine insulting people every night then getting angry when someone insults you back. Jimmy is trash.
Weak. What apology ? You've got to let the girls gossip. Erin, and Patricia.
How can someone who makes a living doing jokes can't take it a joke. It's very ironic.
an accusation is different then a joke.
@Its_the_Whole_Everything you seem can't take a joke either. Jimmy's jokes sound like accusations as well.
@@happilife2222 no they don't. If they were false/untrue accusations, then those he mocked would have sued the daylights out of the network.
@@TempoPrimo2023 Yes they did liar.
@TempoPrimo2023 If a comedian makes an accusation, it will pass as a joke, but if a football player makes a joke, it will be an accusation.
I really don't care for both, but I am fed up with comedians who can't take it when the joke is on them.
Jimmy should sue for defamation. Dude will come up.
Kimmel has always been a pansy. Dishes out criticism and jokes, even making fun of Rodgers for 3 years. But can't take the heat as always. It's hilarious how Rodgers made the comment on Pat's show, which is an ESPN show, owned by Disney. You know Disney made him bend the knee and "apologize".
We know, Jimmy.. We know..
Kimmel can dish it out all day but can't take one fired back at him... then threatens legal action? There's a word for people like that.
Blaming someone for something that isn't true is defamation of character.
Yup, he’s a hypocrite.
Remember when Jimmy Kimmel did black face?
Terrified to get cancelled. We need more people to speak up.
So jimmy can say stuff about other people, just don't say anything about him.
McAfee folds like a wet napkin. Sad.
Jimmy Kimmel is elitism at its finest
If you're a comedian and you go after someone you should be open for ridicule!
That comment can be taken many ways. He’s not saying that he’s on the list but maybe someone that is on the list will not be good for Kimmel.
Considering it was a direct response to Kimmel making fun of Rodgers for saying the list existed in March, it really can only be taken 1 way
Kimmel loves dishing it out, but can't handle it when it comes back at him
Exactly first thoughts I had, he’s a punk and acts like a spoiled brat
Not true at all.
@@mainStream-user you just another blue hair
Let's get this straight, Jimmy makes fun of people it's called a joke. People make fun of Jimmy it's called a lawsuit. Got it.
Excuses
@@Ouah7 you mean statistical fact. You should probably turn off the indoctrination machine and read a book Bird Brain. Better yet get a dictionary so you can learn the definition of what an excuse actually is. Now put your mask back on, get your 10th booster and tune back into CNN for instructions on how to live your life
@@DZ302-Z28 😂😂😂 did I hurt your feelings big bird..you can keep sleepy joe and diaper don..
Airiing the dirty laundry, in "locker room talk" in front of the nation...
Rodgers made false claims against Kimmel it wasn't a joke Kimmel should sue rodgers
Really what makes you so sure he wasn't on a island. Threatening someone with lawsuits makes you sure look guilty
So a comedian gets offended when someone makes a joke about him. Grow up Jimmy. You can dish it out but you can’t take it. Also he didn’t say you were on the list, he said you wouldn’t be happy when the list comes out. What a hypocrite. And a clown. 🙄🤡
ESPN still exists? Who knew? 😂
People love to hate Rodgers went overboard
Aaron Rodgers wanted to be on the list but he didn't want to upset Pat McAfee
What does that even mean 😂
So does brandon.
Rodgers just shut up and throw your interceptions.
Here's a joke for you Jimmy. You're funny and can accept criticism 🤣😂🤣
Jimmy name on the list. Time will tell. But we all know he has history treating women bad.
Jimmy Kimmel name is on that flight log..... you can't lie 4ever
Too little, too late. ESPN is a gigantic clown car, and none of the clowns are funny.
Media spun what Rodgers said. Kimbell did far worse and started the entire thing only to call no mas and cry and the end.
Locker room talk is such a bullsh*t excuse. Rodgers has always been a db. Always.
If this whole thing leads to Kimmel losing his job, there's always Dancing with the Stars.
What a baby. That was such a tame joke. And to a comedian no less. The profession that is supposed to have the toughest skin. If Rodgers made this joke to a real comedian like Dave Chapelle he would clap back with something hilarious and absolutely roast Rodgers. Not threaten to sue.
Pats show is over anyways. He’s gotta go Joe Rogan. Espn is done with him.and they’ll be suing him.
jimmi kimmel was in the school at that time that Aaron roger assumed jimi was with epstain
Aaron should be in jail for robbing the jets
