Travis Kelce has been on a roll with his TV appearances, but tonight marks the end of one of his notable roles. The season finale of FX’s “Grotesquerie” airs this evening, where Kelce has showcased his acting skills by playing two versions of the character Ed Lachlan. His portrayal has impressed fans with its depth and versatility, and it’s clear that Kelce has enjoyed flexing his creative muscles outside of the football field.
In anticipation of the finale, Travis’ co-star Niecy Nash made a special guest appearance on the “New Heights” podcast, which Travis co-hosts with his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. During the episode, Jason asked Nash if she had any stories about Travis’s behavior on set—particularly if he had any diva-like tendencies. Nash didn’t hesitate to spill some entertaining on-set memories, focusing on Travis’s eating habits.
“I’ve said this behind your back,” Nash began, laughing as she looked at Travis. “So I’ma say it to your face—you are probably the nicest and the greediest person I’ve ever met in my life.”
Her specific description of Travis prompted laughter from both Kelce brothers, with Travis clearly amused by Nash’s assessment. But Nash doubled down on her comment, adding even more detail.
“You’re so greedy,” she said, “and you’re bougie greedy.” Nash explained that Travis often ordered a wide variety of meals, from classic burgers to more high-end, gourmet dishes. She joked about how Travis would often surprise the cast and crew by casually mentioning, “My chef prepared this for me,” before enjoying a meal that seemed far more luxurious than the typical on-set catering. It was clear that Travis brought a little extra flair to the production—both in his performance and in his dining choices.
On “Grotesquerie,” Nash plays Detective Lois Tryon, a character who finds herself unraveling mysteries that feel deeply personal, all while grappling with her husband Marshall (played by Courtney Vance) being in a coma. Travis plays nursing orderly Ed Lachlan, who appears to be a key figure in Lois’s journey.
However, in a shocking twist revealed in the seventh episode—which aired on October 16—it was Lois who was actually in a coma, suffering from alcohol poisoning, and the events leading up to this revelation were all a product of her imagination.
As the twist unfolded, viewers learned that Ed Lachlan was not really a nursing orderly but instead an employee at a pretzel shop. The surreal narrative twist added layers to both Nash’s and Kelce’s characters, keeping audiences guessing about what was real and what was merely a figment of Lois’s mind.
With the finale airing tonight, fans are eager to see how the story concludes and what the mysterious Grotesquerie truly is. The show has kept audiences on their toes with its twists and turns, and the final episode promises to deliver more revelations.
For fans who will miss seeing Travis Kelce on screen, there’s good news: Kelce will be appearing on Prime Video’s “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” soon.
So while his time on “Grotesquerie” may be coming to an end, Kelce is far from done entertaining audiences with his charisma and sense of humor. Whether he’s playing football, acting, or taking part in a game show, Travis Kelce continues to prove that he’s a multi-talented star who knows how to captivate an audience.
