Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is known for his prowess on the football field, but his newest venture has sparked debate among NFL fans.
Kelce is set to host Amazon Prime’s latest game show, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, which offers a fresh spin on the beloved format of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. The series will premiere on October 16 with three episodes, followed by weekly releases
Kelce gets mixed reactions for new Amazon Prime show
The show pits adult contestants against a panel of celebrities, who will help them tackle questions from elementary school textbooks.
The celebrity lineup includes former NFL star Chad Ochocinco, comedian Nikki Glaser, and media personality Lala Kent, who will assist in answering questions for a $100,000 prize.
However, following the release of the trailer, Kelce has received a wave of mixed reactions online.
Some fans have criticized the tight end’s hosting style, with one fan remarking on X, “Travis Kelce is beyond cringe.”
Another viewer commented, “Travis Kelce fatigue is really setting in. Can we stop having him forced down our throats?”
The negative feedback didn’t stop there.
Some fans were quick to share their exhaustion with Kelce’s showing up everywhere on TV.
“So tired of seeing this guy. He’s not likeable,” another fan vented, while one joked, “Sorry, but I would rather get a root canal.”
Despite the criticism, Kelce’s hosting debut has also attracted excitement from others.
“I have a feeling he’s a natural at this,” one fan posted in support.
Another viewer commented, “He is gonna be HILARIOUS. Also, Nikki Glaser being on this is SO much fun!!”
Kelce continues to flirt with Hollywood
The show joins Amazon Prime’s Winning Wednesdays lineup, alongside other game shows such as Buy It Now, Wish List Games, and Pop Culture Jeopardy!.
For Kelce, this marks a new chapter in his career, one that might take him off the gridiron and onto the entertainment stage.
Although the 34-year-old tight end has had a slower start to the 2024 NFL season, he silenced critics with his recent performance in the Chiefs’ 17-10 victory over the LA Chargers.
Recording seven catches for 89 yards, Kelce’s return to form on the field contrasts with the polarizing reception of his hosting debut.
Whether Kelce’s new venture into television will be as successful as his football career remains to be seen, but NFL fans are proving they are not shy about showing their strong opinions about the star’s foray into show business.
