Jason Kelce revealed that Jimmy Kimmel gave him a load of advice to prepare for his upcoming late-night TV show on ESPN.

On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast alongside his brother Travis Kelce, Jason told listeners he had the chance to link up with Kimmel, who's hosted late-night TV for over 20 years, and get pointers concerning his new stint.

According to the older Kelce brother, he followed Kimmel around all day and received advice ranging from how to look on camera to choosing topics.

"I thought it was absurd. It was hilarious," Kelce said. "Jimmy was the man, offered tons of advice ... It was honestly a very, very beneficial trip to take."

Jason first announced he would be getting a late-night slot on ESPN for a new show during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week. The show is rumored to kick off at the top of the year in 2025 and will air every Friday during the NFL postseason.

Kelce will still show up on Monday Night Football while he hosts his own show.

"Yes, I'm starting I believe it's January 3rd—I hope it's January 3rd!—we'll be doing a late-night show during the postseason on ESPN," Kelce said.

It's not just his career that's making big changes soon. The former Philadelphia Eagles center and his wife Kylie, already parents to three girls, recently shared that they are expecting their fourth.
