Travis Kelce, NFL star and Super Bowl champion, made a surprising entrance onto the set of "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity" in Los Angeles on Monday morning. Trading in his football gear for a microphone, Kelce is set to take on the role of host for the upcoming competition series.
According to exclusive sources revealed to US Weekly, Kelce impressed everyone with his hosting skills during filming. Described as funny and intelligent, the 34-year-old athlete proved to be the perfect fit for the show. Sources also mentioned that the Kansas City Chiefs are filming back-to-back episodes in Los Angeles, with production expected to continue into the following week.
The reboot of the classic show, now titled "Are You Smarter Than a CB," will feature contestants facing off against three celebrity guests in a trivia showdown. Kelce's venture into hosting comes after his previous appearances on reality TV and his successful podcast with his brother, Jason.
Kelce's newfound fame, particularly after going public with his romance with Taylor Swift in 2023, hasn't deterred him from pursuing new opportunities. Sources close to the couple revealed that Swift is fully supportive of Kelce's career endeavors, although scheduling challenges may arise.
Despite his exploration of new career paths, Kelce reassured fans that he's not ready to retire from the NFL just yet. During a press conference earlier this year, he expressed his love for the game and his desire to continue achieving success on the field.
As Kelce steps into the world of hosting, fans eagerly anticipate his debut on "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity" and look forward to seeing his charisma and wit shine on screen.
