The tenure of Aaron Rodgers on Pat McAfee‘s show has come to an end, at least for this football season. The ESPN host announced on Wednesday morning that the 4-time NFL MVP would not be returning to his usual slot on Tuesdays during the playoffs.
“Aaron Rodgers on Tuesdays, season 4, is over,” McAfee said on Wednesday, even though Rodgers was supposed to join the show for several more weeks.
Pat continued: “There will be a lot of people happy with this, including me to be honest with you. The way it ended, it got pretty noisy. I’m glad he’s not going to be in my mentions in the future, which is great news.”

Sources tell TMZ Sports that this was not a network decision. We’re told Pat determines which guests appear on the show, but ESPN is on board with the move, according to our sources.

Of course, Rodgers’ spot on “The Pat McAfee Show” has become the must-see segment on ESPN airwaves, but it has also stirred up a ton of controversy, especially in the past two weeks, when Aaron Rodgers seemingly linked Jimmy Kimmel to Jeffrey Epstein.
Rodgers later clarified his comments, saying that he was not insinuating that the host was a pedophile.

But that didn’t stop Kimmel from further criticizing the player on Tuesday night.
Perhaps this indicates that the war between Aaron and Jimmy has ended, and now the standout Jets player won’t have Pat’s platform to respond.
Rodgers, who has been a guest on Pat’s show for years, typically makes an appearance during the playoffs, but that will not be the case this season.
As to whether Rodgers will be back for season 5, there has been no indication in that regard.
