In his interview with McAfee, the Jets QB stated, “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are hoping that doesn’t come out.”
He later shared, “I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”

Here’s what Fox News reported:
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers took a dig at comedian Jimmy Kimmel and said the late-night talk show host’s name would appear on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.
Rodgers made the remark during his weekly spot on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, and it appeared to be just another page in the ongoing feud between the two.
“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said. “I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”
Kimmel, whose show runs on ABC, took a shot at Rodgers in March before he was traded to the Jets when he talked about theories of UFOs being shot down in the midst of the Chinese spy balloon scandal.
“Needless to say, all this UFO talk has the tinfoil-hatters going wild, including Green Bay whack Packer Aaron Rodgers, who offered this hot take on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’” Kimmel said before leading into a clip where Rodgers made note of potential names of Jeffrey Epstein’s client list being released.
“Might be time to revisit that concussion protocol,” Kimmel quipped.
In response Jimmy Kimmel shared “Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any “list” other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality.”
He would add “Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

Per The New York Post:
Jimmy Kimmel threatened to see Aaron Rodgers “in court” if the Jets quarterback kept insinuating that the late-night host had a relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Kimmel’s fiery response stems from Rodgers’ appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday.
Rodgers, 40, was explaining on the program how the official colors of the Super Bowl logo foretold the last two NFL title matchups, and this year indicated a finale between the Ravens and 49ers.
His former teammate A.J. Hawk interjected, “Does this have something to do with the Epstein list that came out?”
The ex-NFL linebacker was referring to a list of more than 100 names with ties to Epstein that are set to be revealed after a Manhattan federal judge’s December decision.
