Jason Kellstitle late night talk show Truly a family affair.
"The show, obviously, needs its own mascot," Kelce, 37, said during the episode on Saturday, Jan. 18, on ESPN. They call it late night. "We set out to get the perfect design team for the job."
In a previously recorded segment, Jason and wife Kylie Kells - Officer They call it late night Announcer — asked their kids to come up with a mascot. Jason and Kylie, 32, share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months. (There's also Kylie Currently pregnant Child No. 4, with another daughter.)
Before the youngest Kells worked on developing their ideas, Jason tested them on their knowledge.
Jason Kelce had a VIP guest in the announcer's booth on his late-night ESPN talk show — his wife, Kylie Kelce! "One of the other cool things, not only am I getting my own show but I'm getting to create my own show with my wife Kylie as the announcer," Jason, 37, said on Saturday, January (...)
“Do you know what a mascot is? who Eagle mascot?” he asked, which Eli correctly identified as the swoop. (Jason played center for the Philadelphia Eagles throughout his NFL career before retiring in March 2024.)
"We have to make our own version of a swoop," Jason said. "And I thought it would be fun if we all designed it together."
Wyatt, Ellie and Bennett then went to work coloring potential mascots — complete with "something to drink" in hand
"I think we have a mascot, Gurlis," Jason said later. “We have Wyatt's face, Ellie's body and then we have the 'pizza hand' that you're pulling here (and) the 'chicken leg'. It's our mascot.”
Watt and Eli They chose the name "Dragon McFart-Fart Butt-Butt" as their mascot.
"Well, guess he's Irish?" Jason quipped in response, later bringing the completed drawing to the ESPN studio.
Speaking to a live audience, he speculated that the girls "nailed" the artwork.
"I think Eli was going for the face, but he got a body," Jason pointed out. “I really don't know how (Kylie) got Benny to draw anything. I never got Benny to draw anything."
According to Kylie, Bennett contributed an "accidental scribble" that looked like a leg. The drawing was the inspiration for a mascot costume that one of Jason's colleagues donated for the rest of the broadcast.
“Hello, I'm Dragon McFart-Fart Butt-Butt. It's so fun to be here,” bellowed the mascot, much to Jason and Kylie's respective amusement. "Thank you so much for making me a girl."
Jason, meanwhile, was in awe that his kids "f—ing" the design.
"Well done! I don't even know what to say,” he added. "It's so good. … I just love this thing so much. It's incredibly perfect. I wish we could have it forever, it's a shame we only have it for two more weeks.
