Three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce is seeing his stock skyrocket off the field with all his commercials, sponsorships, and of course his high-profile relationship with singer Taylor Swift.
Kelce’s brother, Jason, recently retired this offseason after a stellar career as the center for the Eagles, and is already meeting with multiple stations in advance of a big potential TV deal.
Travis might soon find himself on TV a bit more as well, as Variety has reported that the star tight end is in talks to host the “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader” reboot on Amazon Prime video.

Kelce put up 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns in 2023, and he missed two games which ultimately ended his consecutive streak of 1,000-yard seasons at seven.
In the past, Kelce has hosted “Saturday Night Live” and starred in his own reality dating show “Catching Kelce.”
His podcast, “New Heights” with his brother Jason is one of the biggest sports podcasts in the world as well.
“Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader” originally ran for three seasons on Fox starting in 2007 before moving to syndication and was hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy.
Other athletes who have hosted game shows include Michael Strahan hosting “The $100,000 Pyramid” on ABC, Peyton Manning hosting “College Bowl” for NBC and Peacock, and Aaron Rodgers guest-hosting “Jeopardy!”
This would be another big media move for Travis as he continues to plot out his post-NFL career alongside his brother.
The main worry for Chiefs fans is hopefully all these commitments don’t take away from his on-field production as the team aims for a three-peat in 2024.
