Former Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center turned ESPN analyst Jason Kelce announced he will soon be hosting a new late night show.

They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce will tape in front of a live audience on five straight Friday nights beginning on January 3, 2025 and air on ESPN for five weekly episodes beginning on January 4 and concluding on February 1, which will coincide with the final week of the 2024 NFL regular season and playoffs.

"I loved late-night shows. I've always loved them. I remember sleepovers watching Conan O'Brien with my friends," Kelce said while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday (November 21) night. "We're going to have a bunch of guys up there: legends of the game, friends that I played with, coaches, celebrities."

Snacktime, a band based in Philadelphia, will provide the show's music, according to ESPN. Kelce's talk show gets its name from NFL Films' first full-length film, They Call it Pro Football, which was released in 1967.

Each episode will have repeat airings on ESPN2 and stream on demand on ESPN+, as well as ESPN and Kelce's YouTube channels. The former All-Pro center was officially announced to join ESPN in May, two months after announcing his retirement from football.

“I did my due diligence, you want to make sure you’re really looking at things, talking to people that are knowledgeable in the industry — neither one of us have ever done something like this. Throughout the whole process, meeting and talking to everyone over at ESPN, it became apparent that it was really the right fit and at the end of the day, something that I’m really, really looking forward to this next phase,” Jason said during an episode of New Heights, an award-winning podcast hosted by himself and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, earlier this year.

Kelce is one of the most celebrated players in Eagles history, starting at center in all 193 games of his 13-year NFL career, including the franchise's lone Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl LII, while being selected as a first-team All-Pro six times (2017-19, 2021-23) and Pro Bowler seven times (2014, 2016, 2019-23).
