Jason Kelce Kids Design Mascot for His ESPN Late Night Show

Jason Kelce‘s headline late night talk show a true family affair.

“Obviously, the show needs its own mascot,” Kelce, 37, said during the Saturday, Jan. 18, episode of ESPN. They Call It Late Night. “We set out to get the perfect design team for the job.”

In a pre-recorded segment, Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce – the officer They Call It Late Night announcer – ask their children to think of a mascot. Jason and Kylie, 32, share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months. (Kylie is too currently pregnant with baby No. 4, another girl.)

Before the smallest Kelces could get to work crafting their ideas, Jason put their knowledge to the test.

Jason Kelce’s ESPN late night talk show featured a VIP guest in the announce booth – his wife, Kylie Kelce! “One of the other cool things, not only do I get my own show but I get to do my own show with my wife, Kylie, as the announcer,” Jason, 37, said during on Saturday, January (…)

“Do you know what a mascot is? Who is the mascot of the Eagles?” he asked, and Ellie Swoop correctly identified. (Jason played quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles throughout his entire NFL career before retiring in March 2024.)

“We need to make our own version of 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, ladies,” Jason said later. “We’ve got Wyatt’s face, Ellie’s body and then we’ve got the ‘pizza hand’ you pulled over here (and) ‘chicken legs.’ This is our mascot.”

Wyatt and Ellie have chosen to name their mascot “Dragon McFart-Fart Butt-Butt.”

“Okay, sounds like he’s Irish?” Jason asked in response, later bringing the complete picture to the ESPN studio.

Speaking to the live audience, he revealed that the women “nailed” the artistic task.

“I think Ellie was going for the face too, but she got a body,” Jason said. “I don’t really know how (Kylie) got Bennie to pull anything. I’ve never had Benni take a picture of something.”

According to Kylie, Bennett had contributed an “accidental scribble” which turned out to resemble legs. The photo was the inspiration for a mascot outfit that one of Jason’s colleagues wore for the rest of the broadcast.

“Hello, I’m Dragon McFart-Fart Butt-Butt. It’s so much fun to be here,” said the mascot to the amusement of Jason and Kylie. “Thank you so much for making me girls.”

Jason, meanwhile, was surprised that his kids “f-ing nailed” the design.

“Very good! I don’t even know what to say,” he further thought. “It’s so good. … I just love this thing so much. It turned out incredibly perfect. I wish we had it forever, it’s a shame we’ll only have it for another two weeks.”

Kelce’s They Call It Late Night airs Saturdays at 1 a.m. ET during the NFL playoffs, which wrap up in February with the 2025 Super Bowl.
