CINCINNATI — Former Bearcats and NFL star Jason Kelce is jumping into the late-night pool! 

Kelce announced on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that he'll be hosting a limited-run late-night show called "They Call It Pro Football," an homage to NFL Films' first full-length movie in 1967 of the same name. 

The show premieres on ESPN at 1 a.m. ET on Jan. 4, with the final episode at 1:30 a.m. ET on Feb. 1.

It'll have a live audience in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"I loved late-night shows, I've always loved them. I remember sleepovers watching Conan O'Brien with my friends," Kelce said on Kimmel's show this week. "We're going to have a bunch of guys up there -- legends of the game, friends that I played with, coaches, celebrities."
