Travis Kelce is having a dream season on and off the field. From making clutch plays with the Kansas City Chiefs to dominating headlines alongside Taylor Swift, he’s been in the spotlight nonstop. Meanwhile, his older brother, Jason Kelce, is stepping into a new role after retiring from the NFL earlier this year. The former Philadelphia Eagles center has announced his latest project of hosting a late-night show on ESPN, blending football nostalgia with entertainment.

Jason’s new show, They Call It Late Night, is set to premiere in January 2025 and will air every Friday during the NFL postseason. Drawing inspiration from late-night legends like Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel, Jason’s goal is to bring fans a unique blend of football and fun. And who’s the first guest on his show? None other than his younger brother, Travis! On the New Heights podcast, Jason confirmed, “Pick me, pick me,” Travis joked, to which Jason replied, “You’re more than welcome to come on the show.”

The show will feature live music, panels with current and former NFL players, and even a live audience. Jason shared how the idea came from his love for “old iconic NFL songs” and his desire to recapture the camaraderie of being around “the guys” post-retirement. Snacktime, a Philly band, is already set to provide the musical vibes.

The ex-Center revealed that Conan O’Brien was his favorite late-night host growing up, confessing how he’d watch episodes with friends after hockey practice. “I’ve always loved Conan,” Jason said, citing O’Brien’s humor and creativity as major influences. He also credited Jimmy Kimmel for giving him tips on hosting, from choosing topics to connecting with an audience. “Jimmy was the man, offered tons of advice,” he said.

With Travis as his first guest and his trademark humor, Jason’s transition from the gridiron to the small screen promises to be a touchdown.

Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles star, is stepping into a new role as an ESPN late-night host. Announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, Kelce’s show, They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce, will debut on January 3. It’s set to air Fridays at 1 a.m. ET, blending football insights with a late-night vibe, complete with a live band and guest appearances. Episodes will film at Union Transfer in Philly, running weekly through February 1.

Kelce revealed his excitement for this new chapter during the New Heights podcast with his brother, TE Travis Kelce. Jason shared, “It’s going to be chaotic but fun. Live music, live audiences—it’s all about celebrating the game and the camaraderie I miss from the locker room.”

Beyond football and TV, family life remains a hot topic for the Kelces. Jason and his wife Kylie are expecting their fourth daughter, joining Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. “This might be our last hurrah,” Jason joked, though Travis chimed in with a playful challenge: “Go for a starting five!”

The Kelce brothers’ banter is as heartwarming as it is hilarious, making every episode of their podcast a must-listen for fans.
