Aaron Rodgers attended the Tony Awards ceremony at the United Palace theater in Manhattan on Sunday night, and while it should have been a normal event for the New York Jets quarterback, he quickly went viral for rather hilarious reasons.
During the live broadcast of the event that celebrated the best of the best of the 2022-2023 Broadway season, Rodgers was shown looking really lost as he watched the awarding. Fans were quick to poke fun at the new Jets star, with many mocking him for being there when he obviously didn't want to.

“I just saw Aaron Rodgers in the audience at the Tony Awards. My man has accepted every invite he got to a major NY event,” one commenter wrote.
Another one said, “I know Aaron Rodgers plays for the New York Jets but WHY is he at the Tony Awards? He looks so clueless.”
A third Twitter user couldn't help but wonder what's in the mind of Rodgers at that moment, saying: “I absolutely need to know what Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was thinking from the audience of the Tony Awards as the Shucked cast started their number about loving corn.”
“Aaron Rodgers at the Tony’s is truly sketch comedy,” another commenter shared.
