Jason Kelce is interested in a famous actor to take a seat on New Heights. 

The retired Philadelphia Eagles center co-hosts the New Heights podcast alongside his brother, Travis Kelce. New Heights, which launched in 2022, has had a plethora of A-list guests on the show, including athletes, actors, singers and entertainers.

LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Adam Sandler and their most-viewed episode to date, Taylor Swift, are among the podcast's most notable guests. Swift is engaged to Travis, who proposed in August after two years of dating.

It’s hard to top an A-list roster, but Jason has another guest that he would love to talk to on the podcast.

“I think one that I've named before, because we've already had Arnold on, would be Sly. Sylvester Stallone would be great,” Jason exclusively told AllSportsPeople at his Kingsford fragrance event promoting his Slow Burn cologne. “I think we would be very excited to get the man himself.”

Jason added, “Especially playing my whole career in Philly, being a very big fan of Rocky, and a lot of his other films. That would be fantastic.”

Taylor Swift on New Heights 

Swift broke the internet when she appeared on New Heights back in August to promote her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. The episode aired in September, and Jason showed gratitude to Swift for coming onto the show.

"Taylor killed it," Kelce told USA TODAY. "For her to trust us and come on our show and release all that information to the world and to be as open as she was, I think the resounding sentiment to everyone was awesome to see."

The Life of a Showgirl marks the 14-time Grammy winner’s 12th studio album. The project has only been out for a month, but it has already made history as the first project to have all its songs occupy the Billboard Hot 100 without interruption, which was led by "The Fate of Ophelia." The Life of a Showgirl marked Swift’s 15th number-one album on the Billboard 200, which broke her tie with Jay-Z and Drake. To top it all off,  the album is the largest debut of the modern era, according to Billboard.

During her New Heights episode, Swift revealed that she had been writing the songs during her record-breaking Eras Tour. 

“I would be playing shows — I’d do like three shows in a row. I’d have three days off. I’d fly to Sweden, go back to the tour,” she recalled of the album produced by Max Martin, Shellback, and herself.

 “Actually, like, working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating,” she said.

The Life of a Showgirl is out now.
