From the NFL to Hollywood: Travis Kelce eyed for “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” reboot
Amazon Prime is rumored to be in talks with the Kansas City Chiefs star.
NFL star Travis Kelce is rumored to be trading in his football gear for a new role as the host of a popular game show reboot. According to reports from Variety, Kelce is currently in discussions to host the revival of “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” Sources told entertainment media outlets that Kelce’s potential involvement in the game show reboot is generating significant buzz in Hollywood.
While talks are underway, no deal has been finalized yet. Producers are considering Kelce for the hosting role, but concerns about his availability due to his NFL contract with the Kansas City Chiefs remain. Kelce’s venture into the entertainment industry is not new. The NFL star previously hosted the dating show “Catching Kelce” on the USA Network.
With his rising popularity, fueled in part by his high-profile relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, Kelce has been increasingly sought after for television and film projects. Kelce’s potential hosting gig on “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” is just one of many endeavors in his burgeoning entertainment career.
The two-time Super Bowl champion has appeared on “Saturday Night Live,” starred in numerous commercials, and hosts the popular podcast “New Heights” with his brother, Jason. Despite concerns of overexposure, Kelce remains focused on his long-term goals in the entertainment industry. His managers emphasized last year that Kelce’s success is part of a carefully crafted plan.
With aspirations to reach the same level of fame as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kelce’s potential hosting role could be a significant step forward in his career trajectory. While rumors of Kelce’s next gig after his NFL career is over, he was spotted enjoying a tropical vacation with girlfriend, Taylor Swift, over the weekend.
The location of their getaway was not confirmed but it is speculated that they are currently in the Bahamas where Swift has been known to travel in her down time.
