American footballer Jason Kelce has officially premiered his very own late night show called They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce.
The show debuted on ESPN on January 4 with a league of famed guests including beloved host Jimmy Kimmel, Lil Dicky and Charles Barkley, the host of Inside The NBA.
Kelce kicked off his appearance with a joke that his parents were the reason he was there as they allowed him to stay up late as a kid to view the ongoing late night shows.
“Wow, how did we get here?,” he mused aloud. "Yeah, I have my own late night show. Not quite sure how we got here. I used to love watching Conan as a kid. I thought it was hilarious and now I'm up here doing my own show."
Speaking to his parents in the audience, "My parents are here. Mom, dad, you were wrong, turns out letting me stay up late at night was a good thing, in watching TV."
The episode featured several entertaining segments including one where Jason Kelce went up to Jimmy Kimmel to ask him for advice on hosting his own show.
