Jason Kelce welcomed Joe Buck and his wife, Michelle Beisner-Buck, onto his ESPN late-night show this weekend.
The retired NFL lineman has been getting very involved in the media space for the past year. He hosts a podcast, "New Heights," with his brother, Travis Kelce, who is still playing for the Chiefs. He also appears on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown. And now, he's hosting a run of weekly late-night shows for ESPN, through the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
This week's episode featured Joe Buck and his wife, Michelle, who both work at ESPN, covering the National Football League. Joe Buck and his broadcasting partner, Troy Aikman, will be on the call of Monday night's Rams vs. Vikings Wild Card round playoff game in Arizona.
Jason Kelce's wife, Kylie, made a brief cameo on this week's They Call it Late Night with Jason Kelce" episode. She detailed her true feelings on Joe Buck.
Kylie admitted that while she likes Joe Buck now, she was raised in a household where you were taught to "hate" the longtime NFL announcer.
"Well, I was raised in a house where I was taught to dislike Joe Buck," Kylie admitted. "Yes, he was included in [inaudible]."
Kylie Kelce said that it always seemed like Joe Buck was rooting for whoever the Eagles were playing against.
"I mean, I was taught that by my father; I very much recognize the pattern in which he seemed he was always cheering for the other team," Kylie said.
Why do Philly fans hate Joe @Buck?

Joe Buck was a good sport about it, as was his wife, Michelle. And surely, the Eagles aren't the only NFL fan base that is convinced that Joe Buck "hates" their favorite team. Cowboys fans have been saying the same thing for years, too.
But that really just means that Joe Buck is doing his job well. He and Troy Aikman have been receiving a lot of praise for their work in recent years. The move to ESPN has gone extremely well.
Monday night, Buck and Aikman will be in the booth for the Rams vs. Vikings game, kicking off at 8:15 p.m. E.T. on ESPN.
