Internet ablaze with jokes as Jason Kelce's butt catches fire in flaming table stunt

HAVERTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA: Jason Kelce is regaling fans with an eye-catching and hysterical activity, just a day after he announced his retirement from the NFL.

Kelce teased a new episode of his podcast 'New Heights' by jumping through a burning table with the help of a Delaware County fire company.

Jason Kelce's flaming table jump

During the stunt, Jason Kelce landed on his buttocks on the flaming table, causing it to snap into two pieces under his weight and the force of his jump. The preview teases Travis Kelce, his younger brother, who was closely observing and laughing at the spectacle.

The now-retired Eagles star wore what appears to be a fire-retardant suit, as well as a full face mask to make the plunge onto the flaming table.

A local firefighter was also seen patting out the flames on Kelce's shirt and butt after he completed the leap.

Based in Havertown, Pennsylvania, Jason's hometown, the Brookline Fire Company appeared to be in charge of the controlled atmosphere where the leap took place.

Welcome to 'New Heights'

"Alright, here we go!" Jason said speaking into the camera for a promo for his podcast. The former offensive lineman said before making the jump, "I'm Jason Kelce, and welcome to New Heights."

While the remaining flame was put out by a fireman after Kelce's plunge, he stood next to it with his hands raised in excitement.

On Monday, March 4, Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL following a 13-year career as an offensive lineman. However, it is expected that he will transition into a broadcasting career.

On a previous podcast edition, Jason had hinted that he would like to perform a Bills Mafia imitation by jumping through a burning table.

Jason made his formal NFL retirement announcement with an emotional speech that lasted more than 40 minutes.

At the NovaCare Complex, he expressed gratitude to Eagles supporters, high school and college coaches, his wife Kylie, and numerous others. The 13-year veteran of the Eagles made six First-Team All-Pro selections, seven visits to the Pro Bowl, and helped the team win its first Super Bowl in 2017.
