Chiefs’ Travis Kelce to Host Rebooted Game Show

As Kansas City Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce approaches the twilight of his Hall of Fame-bound career, his fame continues to skyrocket. His profile has been elevated by his status as a three-time Super Bowl champion and his high-profile relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.

The four-time All-Pro player recently dipped his toes into acting with a new horror series for FX. Now, Kelce is set to make another impressive addition to his media repertoire.

Kelce hosting a game show? It makes perfect sense!

Beginning October 16, Kelce will take on the role of host for “Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity.”

The show is a spinoff of the comical “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth-Grader,” originally hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. In this version, “average Joes” will face off against celebrities in a Jeopardy-style competition.

If you’re worried about how Kelce will manage this alongside his quest to help the Chiefs secure an unprecedented third consecutive championship, don’t fret. All 20 episodes of the show were filmed earlier this spring.

Kelce’s engaging and amiable personality makes him an ideal fit for such endeavors.

Earlier this spring, Kelce signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him in Kansas City through the end of next season. There’s speculation that the veteran tight end may retire to pursue acting full-time once his football career comes to a close. But for now, dabbling in media ventures seems to be the smart move.
