'They Call it Late Night' — Jason Kelce officially hosting ESPN's newest foray into late-night television

Since retiring, Jason Kelce has certainly stayed very busy. 

And now he's adding something else to his plate. 

During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday night, the former Philadelphia Eagles center announced that he will host "They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce" on ESPN.

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

It will be a one-hour show for five straight Friday Nights, starting on Jan. 3. And it will be filmed in front of a live audience from Union Transfer in Philadelphia.

The first four episodes will air at 1 a.m. ET, while the final show will be at 1:30 a.m. ET. 

Kelce is currently in the first year of a multiyear deal with ESPN, appearing on "Monday Night Countdown," along with halftime and postgame comments. But now he's trying something new, getting an entire show to himself.
