Travis Kelce is not only excelling in sports but also making waves on television in an unexpected role. The two-time Super Bowl champ is now the host of Prime Video’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, and surprisingly, it’s his musical knowledge that’s stealing the show. His ability to entertain and inform has left both his celebrity guests and the audience in stitches during the latest episodes.
In the episode set to air on October 23rd, Kelce found himself in a comical situation when a straightforward question about musical instruments stumped his celebrity guests. The question, “The saxophone is a member of what family of instruments?” caught everyone off guard, resulting in none of them answering correctly.
Chad Ochocinco guessed “brass,” while Garcelle Beauvais confidently suggested “horn.” Ron Funches and Natasha Leggero both opted for “wind.” The audience erupted with laughter when Kelce stepped in with the right answer – “woodwind” – leaving his guests puzzled over how they could miss such a straightforward question.
Leggero jokingly questioned, “Isn’t woodwind just another type of wind?” teasing Kelce, who explained that woodwinds differ due to the presence of a reed. Ochocinco, initially way off with “brass,” attempted to help by finishing Kelce’s explanation, but Kelce playfully called him out, leading to a fun exchange between the two.
Meanwhile, YouTube sensation Lilly Singh faced a different kind of pressure. She needed to assist a contestant who was at risk of elimination based on her answer. While mostly known for her comedic talents rather than musical expertise, the episode concluded with suspense, leaving viewers on edge about whether Singh’s response would lead to victory or defeat for the contestant.
Kelce’s Enthusiasm for His New Role
Kelce recently expressed his enthusiasm for this new hosting role in an interview with People, describing it as a refreshing take on a classic game show format. “It’s a fun twist on the original concept, and I’ve always loved the idea of making it a bit more unpredictable,” he stated. With the laughter and excitement he brings to the show, it’s clear Kelce is succeeding in keeping the contestants and viewers engaged.
As he manages his football career alongside this new hosting venture, it’s evident that Kelce’s abilities go well beyond the football field. His quick humor and engaging personality are making Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? a must-see show.
