It’s the beef that seemingly keeps on giving.
After Aaron Rodgers appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday afternoon and did not apologize to Jimmy Kimmel over their ongoing feud, the late-night host appeared on his show to take a number of shots at the Jets quarterback without using his name.
Kimmel, 56, opened up his Tuesday monologue discussing the “tumultuous week” he’s had.
“Things have settled down. We had a tumultuous week butting heads with delusional people,” Kimmel said. “I was actually watching people actually play football last night. I was watching the college national championship game, the University of Michigan beat the University of Washington — 34 to 13 was the score — if you believe the mainstream media.”
The crazy week began last Tuesday when Rodgers, 40, went on McAfee’s show and implied that Kimmel would appear on unsealed court documents being released that revealed names connected to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Kimmel, who then threatened legal action in response, ranted during an extended Monday monologue about Rodgers, who then responded in kind during his McAfee spot this week.
“I don’t have any apologies, not [for] that guy from ABC,’’ Rodgers said, adding that he was happy Kimmel wasn’t on any Epstein “list” and clarified that he didn’t think the comedian was himself a pedophile.
Kimmel has previously taken shots at Rodgers over his COVID-19 vaccination status and beliefs (which the signal-caller defended again Tuesday) and appeared to do so again on Tuesday night in a joke about fears over a “tripledemic” in the United States this winter.
“The tripledemic is the flu COVID and RSV all teaming up like the three amigos of phlegm. Doctors are urging Americans to ask your medical professional or whichever NFL quarterback you trust for preventative advice.”
Only time will tell if this will end the feud between the two.
