Jason Kelce made a surprise appearance on Jeopardy! MastersKelce appeared in a number of pre-recorded videos throughout the broadcast.
The 36-year-old had an entire category – The World Revolves Around Jason Kelce – dedicated to him on the game show.
Kelce was tasked with giving clues to the contestants, with one relating to the infamous Eagles ‘Tush Push’ play.
“I was a key part of our quarterback sneak known as the Tush Push,” Kelce explained.
“So I always smile knowingly when I hear their song, ‘Ah push it, push it good, ah push it, push it real good.”
Kelce awkwardly rapped the final line, with his deadpan delivery going down a treat with watching viewers.
“Jason Kelce speaking Salt-N-Pepper lyrics on Jeopardy Masters has me laughing out loud,” wrote one fan on X.
“Certainly didn’t expect Jason Kelce to give clues for a whole category on a Jeopardy episode. That was something,” said another.
“@JasonKelce loved you on Jeopardy Masters! You rocked,” added a third.
“There’s an entire category on Jeopardy! Masters tonight that’s just Jason Kelce giving video clues, six degrees of Kevin Bacon-ing himself to different pop culture moments. It is peak television,” laughed a fourth.
Kelce left the NFL behind in March after 13 seasons, retiring in an emotional press conference.
He spent his entire career with the Eagles and won a Super Bowl ring in 2018.
Away from the field, Kece’s podcast New Heights has proved a huge hit with listeners.
The former center teams up with brother Travis on the irreverent pod, which boasts more than 2.3m subscribers on YouTube.
Kelce took time away from sports following his retirement to plan his next career move.
He announced earlier this month he has signed with ESPN as an analyst for Monday Night Countdown.
“Turns out, it was a short retirement! I’m excited to join ESPN, and particularly the Monday Night Countdown team,” Kelce said.
“ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love of all sports.
“To now appear on that same screen is a full circle moment. And, I mean it’s freaking Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football.”
“Jason is a highly respected, Super Bowl Champion with a strong connection to fans,” said Burke Magnus, ESPN president of content.
“Walking off the field and immediately to ESPN, viewers will benefit from his perspective which has been shaped through his years as an established locker room leader and a future Hall of Fame center.
“Jason’s addition to Monday Night Countdown will greatly strengthen our NFL coverage.”
