Travis Kelce, the star tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, is set to embark on a new adventure as the host of a brand new game show on Prime Video. The show, titled “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?,” is a spinoff of the popular game show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” and will feature Kelce as the emcee for 20 episodes.
In this exciting new format, adult contestants will compete against a classroom full of celebrities to answer 11 questions based on elementary curriculum. The ultimate prize at stake is a whopping $100,000. Kelce, who is a three-time Super Bowl champion, expressed his excitement about this new opportunity, stating that hosting a game show has always been a dream of his.
The head of AVOD originals unscripted and targeted programming for Amazon MGM Studios, Lauren Anderson, praised Kelce’s natural charisma and comedic timing, predicting that he will win over audiences with his hosting skills. Kelce himself is thrilled to be on the hosting side of the equation and is looking forward to seeing how the celebrity panelists fare in the game.
While a premiere date for the show has not yet been announced, fans can expect a fun and entertaining experience with Kelce at the helm. This new venture comes on the heels of Kelce’s recent Super Bowl win with the Chiefs and his high-profile relationship with singer Taylor Swift. Kelce’s journey from the football field to the TV screen is sure to captivate audiences and showcase his versatility as a multi-talented entertainer.
