Travis Kelce Scores Big Hosting Gig with ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’

Travis Kelce’s star power is set to surge beyond the football field with his latest venture. The Kansas City Chiefs standout has been tapped to host a fresh game show titled “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” It’s a spin-off of the beloved classic, “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,” and will be streamed on Amazon Prime, boasting an initial order of 20 episodes.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the role, Kelce stated in a press release, “I grew up enamored by game shows, and I’m thrilled to step into the hosting spotlight with ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ The original format has enjoyed immense success, and I’m eager to bring a new twist featuring everyone’s favorite celebrities. Hosting this show is a dream come true, and I can’t wait to witness how these renowned faces fare.”

In this revamped version, contestants will tackle 11 questions drawn from an elementary curriculum across various subjects, seeking assistance from a classroom filled with celebrities to nail the correct answers. For the climactic final question, worth a staggering $100,000, contestants can rely on just one celebrity ally for guidance.

While Kelce has cemented his status as one of the NFL’s premier tight ends for a decade, his appeal has transcended football in recent years. His podcast collaboration with his brother retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, has garnered attention, as has his high-profile relationship with music sensation Taylor Swift. These endeavors culminated in Kelce gracing the stage of “Saturday Night Live” as a host last year.

Now, Kelce is poised to further solidify his standing as a pop culture icon through his hosting duties on this exciting new game show. With his multifaceted talents and growing influence, the Travis Kelce phenomenon shows no signs of slowing down.
