Jason Kelce is truly the star of the moment, and he now has a Jeopardy! category to back it up.
During the May 22 episode of Jeopardy! Masters, the 36-year-old Kelce appeared as a special guest. He read out clues for a category called “The World Revolves Around Jason Kelce” and even delivered the lyrics to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” with a straight face.
Kelce shared in a pre-recorded video that he played a crucial role in the quarterback sneak called the Tush Push. He mentioned how he always chuckles when he hears the song "Ah, push it, push it good. Ah, push it, push it real good."
On Wednesday, Jason and Travis Kelce's official "New Heights" podcast account reposted the video clip with the caption "Flawless delivery."
Jason also shared his excitement about being a father to his daughters Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 15 months, with his wife Kylie Kelce.
He mentioned, "Being a girl dad is amazing, although it's quite different from the situation of Philip V of France and his wife Joan. They only had daughters and no heir to the throne in this wine-producing region."
Since retiring from the Philadelphia Eagles in March after 13 seasons in the NFL, Jason has been in the spotlight for his new TV role as a commentator for ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.
During an interview on “New Heights,” Jason expressed his excitement about the opportunity, mentioning that he feels honored to be a part of the team.
"Earlier this month, he expressed how much football fans used to look forward to this night when we were younger. Now, he's excited to join a group of talented and personable individuals on the show."
"As he transitions into this new position, Jason made sure to reassure Travis, 34, that he won't be teasing him on air."
Travis, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, asked Jason, who is set to make his debut with the San Francisco 49ers in September, if he would be tougher on him than anyone else. He wondered if Jason would be more critical of him because of their relationship.
Jason assured Travis that he would not treat him differently. He promised that if Travis made a mistake, like dropping a pass, he would not go out of his way to criticize him.
When it comes to celebrations, however, Jason warned Travis that if he does a “silly” endzone dance, he may receive some jokes.
Editor's P/S:
Jason Kelce's appearance on Jeopardy! Masters was a testament to his stardom and his ability to engage with the audience. His enthusiasm for the game and his willingness to participate in the fun made the segment a highlight of the episode.
Kelce's transition to television commentary is a natural extension of his outgoing personality and his love for the game. His promise not to give special treatment to his brother, Travis, during broadcasts shows his professionalism and dedication to his new role. While he may refrain from excessive criticism, it's likely that Jason will find creative ways to poke fun at Travis's antics on the field, adding a touch of sibling rivalry to the commentary.
