Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? host
Even though Travis Kelce is still one of the best players in the NFL, he has been branching outside of football recently, with hosting Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? another example of this.
His other non-football ventures in recent years include his hit podcast, New Heights, that he hosts with his brother Jason Kelce and a slew of commercials that he stars in, often with his Kansas City Chiefs teammates.
Kelce is also getting into acting — he has a role in the Ryan Murphy TV series Grotesquerie — as well producing, with his first feature movie producing credit for the 2024 new movie My Dead Friend Zoe.
Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? cast
Kelce isn't the only big name attached to the game show. As the title would suggest, celebrities are going to be a part of the proceedings.
The celebrity castmates that are going to be participating in the show are comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer and Ron Funches; former NFL players Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chad Ochocinco; reality stars Garcelle Beauvais (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Lala Kent (Vanderpump Rules) and Sophia Stallone (The Family Stallone); and Lilly Singh (A Little Late with Lilly Singh).
Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? gameplay
Here is the official synopsis of how Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? is going to work:
"Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? offers a fun, new twist on the premise of the original popular format. Hosted by Travis Kelce, each game will welcome an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from comedy, screen and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects, pulled from elementary curriculum, in an effort to win a $100,000 prize. Rather than compete against the stars, contestants enlist their help and, in some cases, can even 'cheat' off of them. And on the final question, worth $100,000, the contestant selects one celebrity to discuss the answer with before locking in. The final question is always at the 6th-grade level."
