Jason Kelce hilariously responded Saturday night to the claim that NFL fans were getting tired of seeing him on TV.
Eagles legend Kelce, who joined ESPN this year after retiring from football, came across a post on X from anonymous aggregator Dov Kleiman.
The message read: ‘Many NFL fans are angry that they see ‘too much’ of Jason Kelce on TV. Do you agree?’
However, Kelce took the message to heart and responded with humor, as he so often does.
“I completely agree, how is it even possible to film so many commercials,” he responded. ‘[His daughter] Wyatt sees enough of me, she doesn’t need to see anymore of daddy’s face or bad jokes in 4K! But she does love Hank.”

Kelce joined ESPN this year after wrapping up his stellar playing career with the Eagles
‘Hank’ refers to a CGI buffalo that Kelce appeared next to in a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial during the summer, while also appearing in advertisements for Wawa.
Kelce has certainly had a prominent TV role since ending his glittering playing career with the Eagles, as he appeared weekly on Monday Night Countdown for ESPN.
He also jumped into the box next to Troy Aikman and Joe Buck in Week 2 when Philly hosted the Falcons.
And a report this week from Puk also said that Kelce and ESPN were in talks to host a late-night show.
However, at least one of Kelce’s ESPN colleagues has previously suggested he was getting too much airtime.
In September, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo took that position while speaking on First Take.
“You’re going to be mad at me. I’m going to say it anyway because I feel like it,” Russo began.
“I think we’ve all been seeing a lot of Jason Kelce these past few weeks.”
His comments caused an uproar among his ESPN colleagues when former Colts offensive lineman Jeff Saturday called him a “hater.”
Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith defended Kelce as “a new star for the network,” saying, “I like Jason a lot.”
Kelce will be with ESPN in Pittsburgh on Monday when the Steelers host the Giants.
