Along with putting together a comedic showing as host, Shane Gillis also paid homage to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gillis, a native of Pennsylvania, is a known Eagles fan. He got to show his support on a grand stage at the ESPYS, teaming up with internet sensation Druski for a sketch. Over the past few years, the Eagles have perfected a secret weapon that has since been dubbed the "Tush Push." It is the offense's go-to on the goal line and in close-yardage situations. Even with opposing teams knowing the play is coming, the Eagles still have great success when they execute it. Shane Gillis performs onstage during the 17th Annual Stand Up For Heroes Benefit presented by Bob Woodruff Foundation and NY Comedy Festival at David Geffen Hall on November 06, 2023 in New York City.

Gillis, who is playing a janitor, rallies the team around an idea he's been brewing. He then proceeds to explain the "Tush Push," which is met with some backlash from Druski. When the sketch wraps over, the broadcast cuts back to Gillis sitting in the crowd with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. He seemed to have enjoyed the production and jokingly claimed that the staff came up with the play in a similar fashion. "Yeah, as a staff we did," Sirianni said regarding the creation of the Tush Push. "It was kind of exactly how you showed it right there." Ahead of taking on this huge role as host, Gillis opened up on his sports fandom in an interview with The Athletic. While looking back at the Eagles' run last year, he cited multiple instances as his favorite moments. Also read: Former Champion Rushes to Defense of Eagles Star Jalen Hurts "I was at the game when Saquon hurdled that guy. I saw it live, and that's the most incredible play I've ever seen," Gillis said. "I've watched football my whole life. I've never seen someone do that. That's insane. He had so many really incredible moments. The Super Bowl was wonderful. They just killed the Chiefs. At the beginning of the game, I remember there being a terrible pass interference call. And I was like, 'Oh, this is going to happen again.' And then they took the refs out of the game. Not much they could do." For more Philadelphia Eagles and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
