Kelce revealed the news on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," and the future Pro Football Hall of Fame center said Kimmel has given him "tons of advice" about how to make his show a hit.Β 

"To be able to go on his show and promote my show that’s coming out, but also to just go there and talk to him, get all the ins and outs about how to run a late-night show β€” how you talk into the camera, how you choose topics, how you prepare. It was honestly a very beneficial trip to take," Kelce said on his "New Heights" podcast.Β

Jason said he is also a big fan of Conan O’Brien, though he likes all the current late-night greats.

Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, is also launching her own podcast, "Not Gonna Lie."

Jason will embark on his first solo act with this late-night show, and he’s making sure to use all his resources to make it stick.Β

"I loved late-night shows. I've always loved them. I remember sleepovers watching Conan O'Brien with my friends," Kelce said on Kimmel's show. "We're going to have a bunch of guys up there β€” legends of the game, friends that I played with, coaches, celebrities."

The first four episodes of "They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce" will be broadcast in front of a live audience at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, where Kelce played all 13 of his NFL seasons with the Eagles.

The first episode will be taped the evening of Jan. 3 and will be broadcast the following morning at 1 a.m. ET. ESPN will record four more shows, and the final broadcast is scheduled for Feb. 1.

Kelce and his younger brother, Travis, launched a podcast, "New Heights," in 2022, a few months before facing each other in the Super Bowl.

After Travis won that Super Bowl, he hosted "Saturday Night Live," and Jason made an appearance. Travis is also the host of the show "Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?"

Kelce's wife, Kylie, announced Friday she is pregnant with the couple's fourth daughter. In his career, he made seven Pro Bowls and was a six-time first-team All-Pro selection.
