Breaking Good News:KELCE Chiefs’ Travis Kelce ‘excited’ to land game show-hosting gig in first regular TV series role
Kelce hosted an episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’
Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs won a second consecutive Super Bowl in February, and the 34-year-old NFL star has become somewhat of a pop culture sensation over the past couple of years.
He hosted an episode of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” in 2023. Over the past several months, he has been romantically linked to music star Taylor Swift.
Kelce has also landed multiple endorsement deals, and his “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce, has drawn millions of fans.
Kelce’s name had been linked to a game show, and Amazon Prime Video confirmed the tight end was selected as the new host of the streaming platform’s “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity.”
The show is a spinoff of the popular show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,” which debuted in 2009. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy and WWE star and actor John Cena previously had different stints as the original series’ host.
Instead of studying NFL playbooks, Kelce will familiarize himself with a variety of topics elementary school children would be familiar with.
