Accusing someone of being a pedophile seems a little different. Especially when it's outside the scope of any comedy context, and isn't done as a joke.

When I turn on Kimmel I expect comedy and I understand that everything should be looked at within that scope.
Rodgers says stupid shit all the time that he presents as fact. Coming out after the backlash to claim it was a joke doesn't give him a free pass.
