Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is embarking on an exciting new venture with his quiz show called Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity. When it comes to his choice of guest, he prefers to keep it in the family, revealing that his ideal contestant would be none other than his older brother, Jason Kelce, despite his famous relationship with Taylor Swift.
During a recent chat with the Associated Press, Kelce shared his thoughts on why Jason, who also plays in the NFL, would excel on the show. He stated, “My brother Jason would absolutely dominate on this show. He’d enjoy himself and come up with some fun responses even if he didn’t know the right answers.” This emphasis on family over celebrity friends underscores their close relationship.
Jason Kelce, who is a center for the Philadelphia Eagles and a Super Bowl champ, shares a competitive spirit with his brother. They gained significant attention when they competed against each other in Super Bowl LVII, heightening the game’s excitement.
Travis merges sports with entertainment
Though Travis Kelce remains focused on his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, his forays into entertainment showcase his adaptability. His quiz show, debuting on October 16, features questions aimed at elementary students, with help from celebrities like Ron Funches and Nikki Glaser. Contestants have the chance to win a maximum of $100,000.
Although Kelce admitted he hasn’t yet watched any episodes of his own show, he’s curious about his performance. “I tend to judge myself harshly. I’ll check it out, but I’m nervous about seeing how I handle things,” Kelce shared.
As the Chiefs enjoy a strong 5-0 start to the season, Kelce balances his passion for football with his burgeoning entertainment career. Fans may hope to see a Taylor Swift appearance on Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, but for now, it’s clear that the Kelce family connection is the main highlight.
