The project was recently announced by Amazon, and will be titled Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?

Kelce will act as host for all 20 episodes commissioned to be produced by MGM Alternative.

Of course, this won’t be the four-time First-Team All-Pro’s first foray in front of the camera as a host.

Kelce was the star of his own reality dating show, Catching Kelce, in 2016 before going on to guest host Saturday Night Live in 2023.

He currently serves as the co-host of the hugely popular New Heights podcast alongside his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason, and is preparing to host his second annual Kelce Jam music festival.

In a recent interview, Kelce revealed that he believes his comfort in front of the lens stems from his upbringing.

“I think it was all the home videos my mom used to have with the old camcorder, the handheld joint, at the house,” he told Extra TV.

“I just always felt comfortable with the camera on me and the lights on me.

“And sure enough, I love a good challenge. I get excited for a challenge.

“Something that I haven’t done before. Something that really makes me focus.”

For Kelce, the world of game shows is a completely new challenge, and one he’s thrilled about tackling

“I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?,” he told Amazon.

“The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining.

“I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up.”

However, for any fans hoping to see Kelce return to the world of reality TV, prepare to be disappointed.

“The reality show is in my past,” he told Extra TV.

“I don’t think I’d ever do another reality show.”

Kelce went on to joke that perhaps Jason and his wife Kylie can “pick up the reality life.”

Interest in a reality series featuring the Kelce’s would likely be sky-high – not least because of Travis’ ongoing relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift.

The happy couple went public with their romance in September 2023, and have seemingly gone from strength to strength ever since.

In fact, the couple recently enjoyed a getaway together with Hollywood star Bradley Cooper and model Gigi Hadid.
