Kimmel threatens legal action as ESPN faces potential host-on-host conflict

Aaron Rodgers, during an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show', suggested Jimmy Kimmel was potentially associated with the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, leading Kimmel to threaten legal action.
Former ESPN host Jemele Hill commented on the controversy, stating that ESPN needs to control the situation to prevent host-on-host conflicts, and speculated that Rodgers' weekly appearances on the show might end due to the controversy.
Pat McAfee, who pays Rodgers to appear on his show, apologized for being involved in the media controversy.
