On Friday, Jan. 17, former NFL player Jason Kelce hosted another episode of his new show, “They Call It Late Night.”

During the show, Jason told his live audience that now that show is in full swing, it’s time the show got its own mascot. “So we went out and found the perfect design team.”

The design team consisted of Jason’s three daughters.

Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, who announces for the show, share three daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. Kylie is pregnant with their fourth daughter.

During the show, Jason and Kylie shared a clip of their daughters designing the mascot at their home.

“Something we thought might be fun is if we created our very own mascot,” Jason told his girls, who were on board with one singular exception.

“No sharks,” Elliotte told her dad.

And with that, the girls got to work. Each daughter created a specific portion of the new mascot.

Wyatt mastered the mascot’s face. Elliotte tackled the body and Bennett helped design its orange “legs” that were later described as “accidental scribble that looked like legs.”

After they were done creating, Jason helped them put it all together.

Its name? “Dragon McFartfart Buttbutt.”

Jason then introduced the life-size version of his daughters’ creation to his audience. “I’m so excited for this.”

“Hello! I’m Dragon McFartfart Buttbutt. It’s so fun to be here,” the man inside the costume exclaimed.

Fans in the comments on an Instagram post about the mascot loved the end result.

“I’m dying!!! So cute,” one fan wrote.

“The name alone is awesome!! Great job girls,” another added.

“Jason is so good at this.”
