Jason Kelce's duties at ESPN could expand to include him hosting his very own late-night show for the network.

Kelce joined ESPN in April following his retirement from the NFL, with the Eagles legend taking a role on “Monday Night Countdown.”

And now it's been reported by Puck that Kelce and the world leader are in discussions about him taking over the reins of a late-night show with other athletes and celebrities as guests.

According to the report, the show will air on five consecutive Friday nights starting in January.

The show was reportedly produced by NFL Films and licensed to ESPN.

Kelce has certainly made an impression on ESPN so far, as he denied being drunk upon his return to Philly on Monday Night Football in September.

The former offensive lineman also appeared in the locker room that evening alongside Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

Kelce's escapades at ESPN — like forgetting to pack a T-shirt before his network debut — went viral at times, and that's reportedly the goal of his potential new show.

Puck wrote that the show's release time, which is specifically scheduled to be Saturdays at 1 a.m. ET, was designed to spread segments of Kelce from the show on social media over the weekend.

Of course, the 36-year-old is no stranger to having his own show, as he and his brother Travis also host the successful podcast New Heights.

However, at least one of his ESPN colleagues has previously criticized the amount of airtime he received on the network.

After the Eagles' appearance on Monday Night Football vs. the Falcons, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo said, “I think we've all seen a lot of Jason Kelce over the last few weeks.”

Russo continued to complain about Kelce appearing in the locker room on Monday Night Football alongside Aikman and Buck.
