Fans give their verdict on Travis Kelce’s hosting debut as ‘Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?’ premieres
Travis Kelce’s new quiz show has finally premiered on Amazon Prime – and fans are convinced he’s a natural when it comes to presenting.
Kelce stars as host of ‘Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity’, which sees contestants answer elementary school questions while being helped by famous faces in a fun twist on the popular ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?’ series.
The first three episodes premiered on Amazon Prime on Wednesday, giving fans the chance to see the Kansas City Chiefs star in action as a presenter for the first time.
And despite it being new territory for him, Kelce’s debut has gone down very well with fans on social media.
One wrote on X: ‘I finished the first three episodes of Are you smarter than a celebrity… and all i have to say is TRAV IS ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT’.

Another commented: ‘Are You Smarter than a Celebrity? …that was fun! Travis was amazing and the celebs were great! Excited for the next episode.’
‘Travis is sooo good in Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity like he’s a pro. wow,’ said a third.
While one shared a famous meme of former US president George Bush looking shocked and joked: ‘They are saying that Travis Kelce is killing it on Grotesquerie and Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? They say he’s a natural.’
Kelce’s presenting role on ‘Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity’ is not his only venture into the TV world of late.
The NFL tight end has also made his acting debut in Ryan Murphy’s new horror series ‘Grotesquerie’, which premiered on FX earlier this month.
And if that wasn’t enough, he’s even landed himself a part in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel with Adam Sandler.
While he is proving to be very talented in front of a camera, Kelce’s ‘Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity’ co-star Ron Funches admitted it wasn’t always plain sailing for Kelce when he made his presenting debut.

However, the actor and comedian stressed that he still took hosting duties in his stride.
‘I got to watch his whole progression and it was really fun to see him come in a little bit unsure, like anyone would be on their first day at a job, especially if it’s so different from your normal job,’ Funches told Newsweek.
‘You know, he had some hiccups here and there, and you can see how much he did care.’
Comedian Natasha Leggero, another of the celebrities helping contestants hit the jackpot, also revealed that she was left pleasantly surprised by Travis.
‘We loved him. He was so cute and he was so prepared. He really blew me away because I did not have very high expectations… you could tell he took it really seriously and he killed it,’ Leggero also told the outlet.
