Travis Kelce has received glowing reviews following his hosting debut on Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?. The Kansas City Chiefs star is proving that his talents extend far beyond the football field, as fans praised his natural charisma and ability to entertain during his first stint as the show’s host.
Kelce has had a standout year, not just for his performance on the field, but also for expanding his presence into acting and television hosting. His appearance on Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? was met with overwhelming approval, with many viewers calling him a “natural” in front of the camera.
One enthusiastic fan reacted, “If you’re Travis Kelce, you’re a born natural at absolutely anything your heart desires to do, and that’s gotta make you confident haha seamless.” Another fan echoed similar sentiments, saying, “OK, this Are You Smarter than a Celebrity is so fun, and I keep yelling the answers like it’s my $100,000 on the line haha. Travis Kelce is pretty entertaining as the host.”
Others couldn’t help but praise his on-screen presence, with one viewer stating, “He looks good and so natural. Good job @tkelce!” and another adding, “Let Travis Kelce host everything from now on.”
This isn’t Kelce’s first venture into the world of entertainment. Earlier this year, he made his acting debut in Ryan Murphy’s new horror series Grotesquerie, which premiered on FX. His appearance had been highly anticipated after fans spotted him filming for the show earlier this year. In Grotesquerie, Kelce took on the role of Ed Lachlan, a recovering cocaine addict and ex-cruise ship dancer. Fans had to wait two episodes before finally seeing the Chiefs star on screen, and his performance only further cemented his potential as an actor.
But Kelce’s on-screen career doesn’t stop there. He is also set to star in Happy Gilmore 2, a project that has been a dream come true for him. The NFL star has long admired actor and director Adam Sandler, and the opportunity to work with one of his idols has left Kelce excited about the future.
“They’ve been talking for some time now, and they met in person a couple of weeks ago for dinner to talk about the movie,” a source revealed. “Travis couldn’t believe it—it’s like a dream come true for him as Adam Sandler is one of his idols. It’s a perfect opportunity for him to work with one of his favorite directors.”

According to the source, Kelce is taking the opportunity very seriously. “He is excited about it, and he wants to do great,” the source said. The film has been in the works for months, and Kelce’s relationship with Sandler has grown stronger in that time. “They’ve been talking with Sandler almost every week since the end of June,” the source revealed. “They get along super well. Both are easygoing guys who love to laugh, so they’re a perfect match.”
For Kelce, working with Sandler is more than just a fun project—it’s a chance to learn from one of the best in the entertainment industry. “Adam is one of Travis’ idols, and he feels the experience of working with Sandler will teach him a lot about the movie industry and the business side of things. Sandler is a fantastic businessman too.”
Kelce sees this opportunity as a way to open more doors in the entertainment industry, whether through future acting roles or business ventures. His ventures off the football field have been well-received so far, and with his increasing involvement in both TV and film, it’s clear that Kelce is poised to make an even bigger impact in Hollywood.
As he continues to balance his football career with these new opportunities, fans are eager to see what’s next for Kelce in both sports and entertainment.
For now, it seems he’s thriving in both worlds, with the potential to become a major player in the entertainment industry after his NFL career.
