Travis and Jason Kelce are currently among the most prominent athletes in America.
Travis, the younger brother, has gained international fame, partly due to his relationship with Taylor Swift, who has soared to immense popularity globally with her Eras Tour. Meanwhile, Jason has shared in the spotlight through their joint venture, the ‘New Heights’ podcast, which frequently ranks as the top sports podcast.
The Kelce brothers’ influence is so significant that it wouldn’t be surprising if they were nearing Joe Rogan-level earnings from Spotify for their podcast.
Additionally, Travis recently celebrated another Super Bowl win, contributing to a record where one of the brothers has appeared in five of the last seven Super Bowls. Despite their success, they remain down-to-earth, far from adopting an exaggerated persona like Ron Burgundy, yet they are undeniably significant figures in the sports world.

Given their high profile, it was quite shocking that none of the contestants on a celebrity episode of Wheel of Fortune recognized Travis Kelce. The episode featured Sarah Levy of “Schitt’s Creek,” Krysten Ritter of “Jessica Jones,” and fashion designer Christian Siriano. The oversight was particularly surprising because the clue involved Taylor Swift’s boyfriend—a detail that should have been a giveaway, considering his and his brother’s prominence even before Swift’s involvement.
This incident underscores just how pervasive the Kelce brothers’ influence has been, making the Wheel of Fortune flub a notable pop culture moment.
