Quinta Brunson about Monday Night Football’s Jason Kelce picking her up Hi there: “Observe That Air!”

“The last time I felt that way was on Tower of Terror,” the actress said of the hilarious moment on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’

Quinta Brunson is revealing what it was like to be made airborne by Jason Kelce.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Myers on Thursday, May 16, the Abbott Elementary star, 34, opened up about being lifted into the air by the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, as she officially welcomed him as ESPN’s new Monday Night Countdown commentator on May 14.

“I’m going to say he seemed happy to see you. Did you have any sense of how he would show his happiness?” Meyers asked.

“I didn’t,” laughed Brunson.

Meyers, 50, then showed a photo of the hilarious moment at the Disney upfront event.

“Guys, I am so short. I haven’t been this high off the ground in so long,” Brunson laughed. “This was insane. Look at that air!”

“The last time I felt that way was on Tower of Terror. I swear to you now guys, my stomach went up and everything,” she continued. “But he did ask for consent. He was like, ‘Do you mind?’ I said, ‘No that’s fine.’ But I still didn’t know I’d be airborne. I really didn’t. But he’s so lovely.”

The actress and comedian then mentioned Kelce and his former teammate Jalen Hurts’ guest star appearances on the third season of Abbot Elementary and noted “They were just wonderful additions to our season.”

Speaking about his new gig at Tuesday’s event, Kelce said onstage, “I feel incredible. I know what it takes to be great — it takes a great team. I am more than psyched to participate in all the shenanigans that’ll take place this season.”

He added, “I have three wonderful daughters, and my wife Kylie and I, we’ll be taking full advantage [of working for Disney].”

Kelce also joked with Brunson about whether or not he would be wearing a shirt while commentating after he pulled off his shirt and let out a scream while cheering on his brother Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs in January.

“Will you wear a suit? Or go topless?” Brunson asked. “Gametime decision.”

Kelce announced his NFL retirement on March 4 with an emotional 40-minute speech. The dad of three’s new gig was confirmed by a source to PEOPLE late last month.
