Jimmy Kimmel may have taken another swipe at the New York Jets' Aaron Rodgers on his show Tuesday night amid their recent feud.
Rodgers and Kimmel have been going back and forth in the last couple of weeks after Rodgers made baseless comments on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" suggesting Kimmel had ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
On Monday, Kimmel demanded an apology from the NFL quarterback. But on Tuesday, Rodgers appeared again on the "Pat McAfee Show," denying that he called Kimmel a pedophile.
Hours later, on Tuesday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Kimmel seemed to poke at Rodgers again while discussing a news story about a "tripledemic" of the respiratory illnesses influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19, in the US.
"Doctors are urging Americans to ask your medical professional or whichever NFL quarterback you trust for preventative advice," Kimmel quipped.
Kimmel has cracked jokes about Rodgers' comments and stance on COVID-19 vaccines in the past.
In November 2021, the Jets QB tested positive for COVID-19 just a few months after he claimed to be "immunized." It was later revealed that Rodgers had not been vaccinated.
In an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" after testing positive, Rodgers said he was taking advice on medical treatments from podcaster Joe Rogan. He also said he was taking alternative treatments to aid his recovery.
At the time, Kimmel said on his show: "The only thing worse than not getting vaccinated when you're in close proximity with other people is letting them think you're vaccinated when you're not."
"It's basically the COVID equivalent of the condom fell off," he added.
Kimmel also conducted a parody interview with an actor playing the part of Rodgers' doctor on the talk show.
Business Insider has reached out to Kimmel for comment.
