On the show, Rodgers said that “The Eipstein List is supposed to be coming out soon. There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel are really hoping that doesn’t come out. I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.” referring that he will be celebrating once the list is out.

Jimmy Kimmel got triggered on his mention in association with the Eipstein List. With his latest tweet, Jimmy threatened Rodgers to sue him. Jimmy said “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. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

Details on Jeffrey Epstein’s list

Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier who was involved in sex trafficking and procuring children for prostitution. Jeffrey Epstein died after he hanged himself in a jail cell in 2019. But the investigation of who all were involved with him is still going on, and after hundreds of sealed court filings, a list of more than 150 people who were connected to Jeffry Epstein is to be released soon, this list is termed as the “Epstein’s list”.

There are rumors that many big and prominent names such as Prince Andrew and former U.S. President Bill Clinton are also present in the list. The documents were ordered by US state Judge to be unsealed after 1st January, so we could expect them to be out anytime soon. Until the list is out, it’s too soon to say who would be on the list.
