Travis Kelce has long been a prominent figure in the NFL, but it wasn’t until 2023 that he truly skyrocketed to widespread fame.
His high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift has undoubtedly played a role in elevating his status in the public eye, opening up a plethora of opportunities beyond the football field.
Kelce has already committed to hosting a reboot of the popular game show “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader,” and now, reports suggest he’s gearing up for another significant venture in his burgeoning post-playing career.
As per US Weekly, Kelce is embarking on a period of “rehearsal and media coaching” in the coming weeks, preparing for the production of his game show slated to commence in the summer.
The insider tells Us that Kelce is set to start rehearsal and media coaching in the next couple of weeks, with production beginning this summer.
While it may be an unexpected move for Kelce to host, the source says the deal was done “long before Travis’ profile was raised, and now he has to honor the contract. [They’ll shoot] several test episodes and really fine-tune the show and Kelce so this doesn’t embarrass him.”

Unlike the original format, Kelce’s rendition of the show will pit contestants against celebrities instead of schoolchildren, and it’s set to be aired on Amazon Prime.
According to sources, the deal for Kelce to helm the show was secured well before his meteoric rise to global stardom, and Amazon is sparing no effort to ensure its success.
Insiders revealed plans to shoot multiple test episodes, focusing on refining both the show’s format and Kelce’s hosting skills to ensure a seamless experience and avoid any potential embarrassment.
This venture is just one among many media opportunities that have come knocking for Kelce and his recently retired brother, Jason, in recent months.
Known for their vibrant personalities and off-field antics, the Kelce brothers are not only destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame but also have their sights set on conquering the entertainment industry.
