Jason Kelce to Host Late-Night Show on ESPN – Brace Yourselves for Midnight Madness!

Buy Me A Coffee

Jason Kelce is trading touchdowns for talk shows, announcing his brand-new gig as a late-night host. Yes, you read that right: retired NFL legend Jason Kelce is stepping into the world of late-night TV with a limited-run show on ESPN called They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce. Because what better time to chat football than when half the country is asleep and the other half is googling “Why am I still awake?”

The Play-by-Play: What We Know So Far
This five-week series kicks off January 4, 2025, airing at a glamorous 1 a.m. on Saturdays, when the only competition is reruns of Shark Tank and infomercials for knives that can cut through a brick. The grand finale? February 1 at 1:30 a.m., for those of you dedicated night owls or insomniacs with impeccable taste.

Jason will tape the show on Friday nights in Philadelphia at Union Transfer, in front of a live audience. That’s right, Philly fans—clear your schedules and maybe bring a cheesesteak or two for sustenance. It’s going to be a wild ride.

The Game Plan
In an announcement on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jason dropped some big hints about the lineup. Expect a mix of NFL legends, his former teammates, and maybe a few brave celebrities willing to face whatever chaos he has planned. “I loved late-night shows growing up,” Jason said. “Conan O’Brien was my guy during sleepovers. Now I get to be that guy—but, you know, with a little more beard and a lot less hair.”

And let’s not overlook the real late-night MVP here: Jason’s charisma. Whether he’s reminiscing about locker room antics or grilling a coach about their least favorite Gatorade flavor, this guy’s got the chops to keep us entertained.

Will It Continue After the NFL Season?
That’s the million-dollar question. ESPN hasn’t confirmed if Kelce’s talk-show dreams will extend past Super Bowl Sunday. Maybe it depends on ratings. Or maybe it depends on whether Jason decides he actually likes staying up past his bedtime every Friday night.

Why This Is Hilariously Perfect
Jason Kelce hosting a late-night show is like finding out your gym teacher moonlights as a stand-up comedian. It’s surprising, a little weird, but also makes way too much sense. Who better to keep us laughing into the wee hours than the guy who managed to be a national treasure in both football and podcasting?

So, mark your calendars, set your DVRs, or just stay up way past your bedtime. Jason Kelce is about to tackle late-night TV, and if his touchdown celebrations are any indication, it’s going to be an absolute party.
