Jason Kelce is reportedly on course to host his own late-night show on ESPN.
Kelce, who won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, announced his retirement from NFL in March after a 12-year career.

He joined sports broadcasting giants ESPN just weeks later as part of their hit American football show Monday Night Countdown.
The 36-year-old is one of the top pundits on the network but could be set for a presenting role as part of an expansion of their coverage.
As reported by Puck, Kelce is in talks with ‘The Worldwide Leader’ over hosting his own show.
ESPN and his team are said to still be deciding on the specifics of the deal but he won’t be fronting a highlights show or anything similar.
Instead, Kelce is in line to present a late-night show on the channel, with guests consisting of athletes and fellow celebrities.
NFL Films will produce it and ESPN will license it, with the show airing at 01:00am ET [06:00am GMT] on Saturday across five consecutive Friday nights.
Kelce’s show would begin in January and is being viewed as source of viral clips for social media across the weekend.
The former Eagles centre, argued as one of the greatest ever in his position, is already accustomed to sports media production.
He launched the New Heights podcast in September 2022 alongside his brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis.
Produced by Wave Sports + Entertainment, they discuss the latest news in sport and are sometimes joined by celebrity guests.

Jason and Travis sealed a reported $100million [around £77million] three-year deal with Amazon in August amid its success.
New Heights became the most listened to sports podcast on Spotify within just weeks of its launch and was also high on the Apple charts.
NFL fans could see Jason in a new format though, with the six-time All-Pro player set to take the reins of hosting himself.
