Jason Kelce traded in his cleats for a microphone this season, joining ESPN after announcing his retirement from the NFL. And he certainly made a strong impression.
So much so, that the former Eagles center has been nominated for an Emmy in the category of "Outstanding Personality/Emerging On-Air Talent."
Kelce joined ESPN's weekly show, Monday Night Countdown, and also hosts a late-night show called They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce.
So, let's take a trip down memory lane.
The older Kelce brother got out to quite the start during his regular-season debut on ESPN's Monday Night Football during the New York Jets–San Francisco 49ers matchup back in September.
Specifically, he let one word slip that many were questioning if he was even allowed to say on television.
It was Scott Van Pelt who revealed that Jason was wearing a shirt he purchased at a local mall because "he left his travel bag in the truck."
However, the shirt did not appear to fit Jason perfectly. And he didn't hesitate to explain why.
"It fits my belly now. I've lost a little bit of weight," Jason joked. "But my tits are struggling."
That caused quite the reaction on social media.
"Jason, can you say tits on tv ?," one user on X, formerly known as Twitter asked.
Jason of course had to reply.
"I don't know did they bleep it?"
But regardless, everyone loved it. And ESPN took full advantage of this moment, posting it on X. So Jason's brother, Travis, took some time to comment back.
"Surprised he bought a new one and didn’t just go shirtless," he wrote.
Kylie Kelce also poked fun at her husband, saying he should "try not to say tits this week" in an Instagram post.
Kelce has provided a lot of laughs this season on ESPN's hit show, so this nomination is very well deserved. His personality shines through, which is what everyone loves.
Kylie and Jason Kelce announce the birth of their fourth child
Congratulations Kylie and Jason!
