Jason Kelce has launched a YouTube channel!
On Thursday, Nov. 28, the former Philadelphia Eagles player, 37, revealed that he joined the video-sharing site with a post on his Instagram Stories.
“Happy Thanksgiving… guess I’m a YouTuber now,” Kelce wrote over one clip while teasing a first video, titled, “I’m Letting High School Students Transform My ’86 Chevy Into A Tesla-Powered Supercar.”
Kelce also announced his YouTube channel in a clip shared on the YouTube TV Instagram account. In the video, the NFL alum could be questioning whether anybody was eating a bagel, smiling and doing the thumbs up for the camera, as well as eating a snack next to his wife Kylie Kelce and wearing under-eye patches.
“I let my Gen Z intern edit my YouTube channel announcement video,” a caption over the clip read, as YouTube TV wrote in its caption: “We can neither deny or confirm the amount of lip smacking on Jason Kelce’s future content. Tap the link in bio to subscribe to Jason’s new YouTube channel.”
Another of Kelce’s clips shared on his YouTube channel is titled “We Shot A Music Video With Mt Joy At An Eagles Game” and takes fans behind the scenes of his Nov. 14 Christmas song performance with Mt. Joy before the Philadelphia Eagles game against the Washington Commanders.
Kelce and the band released their song “Santa Drives an Astrovan” off of his Philadelphia-themed annual holiday album, A Philly Special Christmas Party, on Nov. 15.
A final video, titled “My $250K Field Goal Attempt at Penn State Went Viral (For the Wrong Reason),” shows Kelce taking part in Pat McAfee’s College GameDay kicking competition. In the caption, he explains that the sports analyst had called and “said he’d donate $500,000 to Hurricane Relief if I could nail a field goal at Penn State while wearing Timberlands.”
“The day didn’t go exactly as planned, but that’s what makes college football special – you never know what’s going to happen,” Kelce added in the description while referencing the viral video of him smashing a Penn State football fan’s phone after they called his brother, Travis Kelce, a homophobic slur.
“It’s not who I am, it’s not what I stand for, and I’m not proud of it…” Kelce said in the YouTube video, admitting he wasn’t sure whether to share the clip.
“Ultimately, I think it’s important that people see the good things that happened there,” Kelce further insisted.
As well as his new YouTube career, Kelce and his brother also have their successful New Heights podcast, and the retired athlete is also set to launch his new late-night show, which is coming to ESPN on Jan. 3, 2025.
“For me, the biggest thing that players miss when they leave the sport is being around the guys,” he recently said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while speaking about how his upcoming show will enable him to bridge the gap between playing football and retiring to spend more time with his wife and their daughters; Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 21 months. (The couple also has another baby girl on the way.)
