“Wow, I have my own show.” Jason Kelce appeared stunned to see a packed room with a LIVE audience in front of him. The Philadelphia Eagles’s star, who grew up watching shows of Conan O’Brien, or even Jimmy Kimmel and others, is finally having his time with the five-week experimented ESPN’s show—“They Call it Late Night with Jason Kelce.”
The event saw a massive number of spectators waiting for more than two hours at the Union Transfer in Philadelphia on Friday evening. This clearly suggests how much Jason Kelce is loved by Philly. However, he wasn’t alone in entertaining his admirers. Yes! Just before the start of the episode, Jason Kelce made an important announcement for the audience regarding his wife, Kylie Kelce.
In the shared footage of the latest episode by ESPN on X, Jason Kelce could be heard introducing Kylie Kelce at the show as an announcer (who is seen sitting upstairs at Kylie Korner section). He said, “Listen and one of the other cool yeah, not only am I getting my own show, but I’m getting to make my own show with my wife Kylie as the announcer.” The audience began cheering for the former hockey player, as Kylie blushed at Jason Kelce’s introduction.

The former NFL player also pointed at his wife, saying, “Kylie’s corner, I love that sign.” To this, Mrs. Kelce said, “It’s amazing.” However, soon after that she continued with her role, “I do have an official disclaimer, though, that I’m obligated to read to our viewers—this evening’s program is intended for mature audiences, young viewers, such as your children may hear language that is inappropriate for them.”
Then, adding a personal touch, Kylie glanced at Jason, and added, “not our kids,” looking towards Jason. And the reason behind it? Well, the new announcer expressed, “They (Jason and Kylie’s kids) hear sh*t like this all the time.” Hilarious! This comment had the audience laughing, as Jason too agreed saying, “Absolutely. Yeah.” Jason then wrapped up by saying that the viewers “may hear the occasional f-bombs or something like this” during the show.
Be it anything, Kelce, Philly and your fans just love watching you!
