Pat McAfee has apologized for comments New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers made on “The Pat McAfee Show” about TV host Jimmy Kimmel and the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Rodgers’ comments were made during a conversation referencing the release of an impending document that will purportedly reveal the identities of dozens of people linked to Epstein, who died by suicide for years ago in jail while awaiting federal sex-trafficking charges. On his program Wednesday, McAfee addressed Rodgers’ comments the day prior, saying that while making jokes is part of their show, “whenever there’s accusations made about people, that can lead to lawsuits.” “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said during Tuesday’s show. Rodgers also said that he’ll be “popping some sort of bottle” if the list is released. McAfee suggested that Rodgers’ remarks were meant to be a “s— talk joke” that then turned into a “very serious allegation,” but that he understood why Kimmel got upset. “We apologize for being a part of it,” McAfee said. “I can’t wait to hear what Aaron has to say about it. Hopefully those two will just be able to settle this – not court-wise – but be able to chit chat and move along.”
