Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end, is stepping off the football field and onto the game show stage as the host of the upcoming reboot of “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” on Prime Video.
Known for his sharp plays and agility on the field, Kelce is now set to challenge both public contestants and a lineup of A-list celebrities in a battle of wits and trivia knowledge.
However, a recent report from an inside source shared with Deuxmoi suggests that transitioning to show host hasn’t been without its challenges for Kelce. According to the source, Kelce seemed to struggle with some on-set jokes possibly related to his relationship with Taylor Swift, finding them annoying and at times being short with the stage manager. The source noted, “Travis was on set for ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ and was not loving the jokes about him and Taylor. He was super annoyed with them.” They also added that Kelce’s discomfort might stem from his inexperience as a host, saying, “I also think he was nervous because he never really hosted before.”

Despite these hiccups, it appears Kelce is receiving strong support, with Taylor Swift herself spotted visiting the set, a gesture that fans are celebrating.
Kelce’s natural charm and his experience with his podcast “New Heights” suggest he has the potential to shine as a host. Remember his entertaining appearance on SNL? That same charisma is expected to light up the set of “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?”.
So, forget the flashcards and grab your popcorn, because watching Travis Kelce host “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” is set to be the new highlight of your game show viewing parties.
