Jason Kelce Debuts New TV Show With Philly-Centric Guest Lineup
In the ten months since Jason Kelce announced his retirement, he has undergone a metamorphosis from All-Pro Eagles Center to Media Megastar. Everywhere you turn, you see Kelce on numerous commercials and on the set of different shows.
Aside from his New Heights Show Podcast that he hosts with his brother Travis, Jason Kelce was one of the analysts for Monday Night Countdown throughout NFL season. Thanks to his relationship with ESPN and his growing Rolodex of famous contacts, Kelce will be launching his latest media venture this month.
'They Call It Late Night' with Jason Kelce is a late-night variety show for Sports fans that will be filmed in front of a live audience in Philadelphia. The show's initial run will be five episodes airing Saturday Nights at 1 am EST starting January 4th on ESPN.
Kelce fans who do not want to stay up late to watch the live airing of Jason Kelce's new show can see it later on ESPN+ and YouTube. The show will also re-air on ESPN2 as lead up to Network NFL Coverage on the weekends.
Who Are The Guests For Jason Kelce's First Late Night Show
'They Call It Late Night' with Jason Kelce is filming their episodes at the Philadelphia's Union Transfer concert venue. According to 6 ABC Action News Mornings, the first episode will be headlined by these three guests:
-Pro Basketball Hall of Famer and former Philadelphia 76ers Star Charles Barkley
-NFL Network Analyst and Former Eagles Offensive Lineman Brian Baldinger
-Rapper and Actor Lil Dicky (Dave Burd) who grew up in the Philadelphia Suburbs
All three have been guests on Jason Kelce's New Heights Show Podcast, so there are no surprises with this guest lineup. The Philadelphia area theme is strong, with three men who are well-known to Philadelphia sports Fans.
Even though he is not originally from the area, Jason Kelce has adopted the Philadelphia area and South Jersey as his home. He and his wife, Kylie, are heavily invested in charity work in the region and host their annual Team 62 Fundraiser in Sea Isle City.
