Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is making waves in his latest career endeavor. The 34-year-old athlete, fresh off his second consecutive Super Bowl victory in February, has been impressing audiences with his hosting skills on a TV show reboot.
Reports indicate that Kelce has been captivating audiences with his hosting abilities on the set of “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity.” Sources revealed to US Weekly that Kelce has been electrifying as the host of the show.
However, recent sources shared with Instagram account Deuxmoi that he’s also been a bit nervous, particularly when it comes to Taylor Swift jokes on set, apparently making him somewhat uncomfortable.

Kelce, who co-hosts the New Heights podcast with his brother and NFL legend Jason Kelce, has been filming episodes of the show in Los Angeles alongside his girlfriend, music icon Taylor Swift, and his brother Jason. The first episodes of “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity” premiered in early April, with production expected to continue throughout the week.
The show, a reboot of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,” will air on Amazon Prime. It’s a competition series where contestants face off against three celebrities in trivia challenges. Despite his football background, Kelce is no stranger to television, having previously starred in his own reality series, “Catching Kelce,” in 2016.
Kelce’s rise to stardom has been further boosted by his high-profile relationship with Swift, which began last summer. However, it’s worth noting that Amazon Prime’s decision to cast Kelce as the host of the competition series was made before his relationship with the Grammy-winning singer.
Kelce’s hosting abilities were previously showcased when he hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live” early last year, receiving praise for his performance. Since then, he has appeared in numerous commercials, further solidifying his status as a multifaceted entertainer.
