As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent on trivia games and quizzes, I must say that Travis Kelce’s foray into game show hosting seems like a natural progression. His football career has undoubtedly honed his mental agility, which is evident in the trailer for “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
Travis Kelce is pouring all his energy into his debut as a game show host, as seen in the preview for “Are You Smarter Than a Famous Person?
Here’s a glance at the initial version of Prime Video’s adaptation of the timeless Fox game show, featuring grown-up participants tackling elementary school-level queries with assistance from well-known personalities.
The upcoming TV show marks the first acting role for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who is also set to appear in Ryan Murphy’s FX horror series titled “Grotesquerie,” which aired its premiere last week. Amazon has commissioned 20 episodes for this show, starring the Super Bowl winner. The series will debut on Prime Video on Wednesday, October 16, with the first three episodes, followed by a new episode each week thereafter.
Here’s the trailer, which features Kelce seeming a bit unsure of what to do with his hands.
Among the notable personalities gracing the stage are comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, and Ron Funches, Thursday Night Football analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick, former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, actress Garcelle Beauvais from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, Lala Kent of “Vanderpump Rules”, podcaster Sophia Stallone, and the versatile actress and producer Lilly Singh – all individuals I’m genuinely excited to see!
Kelce expressed his enthusiasm when he was chosen to host ‘Are you Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ back in April, as it allows him to continue his longtime love for game shows. He looks forward to stepping into the shoes of television legends and is thrilled about the opportunity to bring a fresh take on the show with well-known personalities. As a host, he’s eager to watch these celebrities test their wits, and he can’t wait to see how they fare.
For a long time, enthusiasts globally have been challenged intellectually by this entertaining, nostalgic game show, and we’re excited to introduce the revamped version on Amazon Prime Video,” said Lauren Anderson, head of Amazon MGM Studios’ AVOD originals and targeted programming. “Travis has demonstrated his immense talent in various fields, and we’re grateful for his faith in us as he embarks on his first TV venture. His humorous interactions with our panelists and guests, along with some innovative new elements, will ensure that our worldwide viewers keep returning week after week.
