Caitlin Clark has finally appeared on the New Heights podcast after Jason Kelce admitted that she was the most requested guest in the show’s history.
Caitlin Clark has finally appeared on the New Heights podcast, with host Jason Kelce revealing that “she’s the most requested guest in the history of our show”. The Indiana Fever’s star point guard has had a sensational debut season in the WNBA, clinching the Rookie of the Year title and shattering multiple records.
Clark now holds the record for the highest number of assists in a single season and the most points scored by a rookie. She also became the quickest player ever to hit 100 three-pointers.
The 22-year-old’s swift transition from college basketball to Time magazine’s Female Athlete of the Year indicates that she is on an unstoppable trajectory to greatness. NFL icons Jason and Travis Kelce were thrilled to welcome the basketball prodigy onto their podcast, New Heights. In his introduction, Jason praised Clark as the most eagerly awaited guest and listed her impressive feats over the past year.
He said: “Alrighty, our guest today is a six-food guard from the University of Iowa. The NCAA all-time division one scoring leader, the first pick of the WNBA draft, WNBA assist leader, All-Star and 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. She’s the most requested guest in the history of our show and the Time magazine Athlete of the Year – Miss Caitlin Clark.”
Clark candidly confessed her usual lack of enthusiasm for life’s offerings but made an exception for the podcast, declaring it “at the top of my list.” This response made Travis laugh, prompting him to say: “We made it, Jason.”
Earning the title of most sought-after New Heights guest is no small feat for Clark, especially considering the illustrious roster of celebrities that have graced the show, including NFL legends Rob Gronkowski, Shannon Sharpe and Patrick Mahomes and global icon Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Clark also admitted that she is a loyal member of the Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom and claimed Mahomes and Kelce are two of her current favourites from the reigning Super Bowl champions. The 22-year-old also praised Kelce for the team’s current successes and credited her father for her love of the Chiefs.
Clark said: “My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up so people think I’m like a bandwagon Chiefs fan. I’m like no, I was there before Patrick and Travis, we were ride or dies so, we’ve been big fans and now obviously all the success you guys have had has made it a lot of fun for us.”
