Travis Kelce Says He’s ‘Always Felt Comfortable with the Camera on Me’ amid New Hosting Gig
Kelce revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce’s podcast New Heights in May that he enjoyed several memorable moments while filming the game show.
“Did anybody win $100,000 can you disclose that?” Jason, 36, asked his brother.
“I can’t disclose that… but there [were] some f—ing exciting contestants,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end responded.
“It was a blast, man,” he recalled. “It was a blast shooting it, and to be honest I always wanted to do something with a game show.”
“Me and you, not only was it ESPN, but [we also watched] Game Show Network,” he continued. “So many, so many good game shows. And I always wanted to be a part of it, whether I was a contestant, someone helping out or hosting one.”
After his brother congratulated him on the new gig, Travis replied, “Thank you, man. I think everyone is going to really enjoy this one.”
“It’s basically Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader but instead of actual fifth graders up there — and them getting questions wrong and you kind of feeling bad because a kid is up there and just got a question wrong on TV — it’s a celebrity and now you can make fun of them,” he joked.
Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? premieres with the first three episodes on Oct. 16 on Prime Video, with weekly releases to follow.
