Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel are the talk of the town but not for saying good things about each other. The star quarterback of the NFL made some harsh comments on the iconic daily show host, targeting him for his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. 

But while the two sides are on fire, this isn't the first feud between the two. In fact, they have been rivals for a long time now. Keep reading to know everything about the origin of their rivalry and current feud.

The potential origin of Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel's rivalry

In November 2021, Jimmy Kimmel took a hard hit at Aaron Rodgers for hiding his unvaccinated status. The Daily Show host criticized the NFL legend for saying that before testing positive, he had tested negative for COVID-19 300 times. The comedian jokes, stating that it's a logic that old grandmas use in an attempt to keep their driver's license. 


"The fact of the matter is the risk of dying from Covid is eleven times higher if you are not vaccinated. This is a dumb conversation, but you'll never guess who this wack Packer has been getting his medical advice from," Jimmy Kimmel had said during Jimmy Kimmel Live, targeting Aaron Rodgers for his COVID comment. Aaron Rodgers didn't give a reply until recently.

Adding further, Jimmy also wrote, "Other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court."
