Former NFL star J.J. Watt added a touch of humor to the ongoing drama between Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Wednesday. In his conversation with McAfee, Watt made it clear that he had no knowledge or involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier.

Watt jokingly stated, "My breaking news was actually that I know absolutely nothing about the Epstein list. But I don't want to get in trouble. I know nothing. I don't want any flights. I don't need anybody calling me out. I don't need any lawsuits. I know nothing."

As Watt's comment drew a smile from McAfee, the host previously expressed regret for being involved in the fallout from Rodgers' statements. McAfee likened Rodgers' remarks to "talk s---" and acknowledged Jimmy Kimmel's concerns about the seriousness of the allegations.

"We obviously don't like the fact that we're associated with anything negative, ever. We like our show to be an uplifting one. A happy one. A fun one. But it's because we talk s--- and try to make light of everything, some things obviously people get very p---ed off about, especially when they're that serious of allegations," McAfee remarked.

McAfee also expressed hope that Rodgers and Kimmel would find a way to resolve their differences and move forward.

The exchange of comments began when Rodgers suggested that Kimmel might have connections to Epstein, to which the comedian swiftly responded. Kimmel fired back on X, stating, "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."

The controversy surrounding Rodgers and Kimmel continues to generate attention, but Watt's light-hearted Epstein joke provides a moment of levity amidst the seriousness of the situation. As fans eagerly await a resolution between the quarterback and the talk show host, it remains to be seen how this episode will impact their public images moving forward.
