Kelce is currently dating pop sensation Taylor Swift and has seen his popularity soar over the past year.

The 34-year-old won his third ring with the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LVIII in February.

And after the success of his hit podcast New Heights, the star tight end is turning his attention to TV.

“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,” Kelce said, via the Hollywood Reporter.

“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.”

The show’s format, based on the 2007 American TV game show Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, has already run for more than 3,000 episodes in over 50 countries.

But under Kelce, the showrunners wanted to create a “fresh twist” on the genre, bringing in celebrities instead of children.

“Replacing the kids with celebrities gives us more laughs and surprises, like a roast, as contestants cheat off their famous classmates,” explained Barry Poznick, general manager of MGM Alternative and series co-creator.

“And now, with the ultimate class clown, Travis Kelce, hosting, viewers should expect the unexpected.”

The show will see an adult contestant “rely on a classroom full of celebrities from stage, screen, and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects,” per an Amazon press release.

Contestants can win a $100,000 prize – but they are not competing against the stars, but instead “enlisting their help.”

“The final question is always at the 6th-grade level,” the release added.

Kelce’s astronomical success with New Heights alongside his brother Jason is attracting a host of sponsors, The US Sun can reveal.

A source close to the NFL superstar duo claims there is now “intense competition” among 20 big brands to sponsor the pod.

Travis Kelce’s next ring?

TRAVIS Kelce has three Super Bowl rings – and a psychic matchmaker reckons he could soon add an engagement ring.

Speaking to The U.S. Sun, the psychic claimed Kelce will soon propose to music megastar girlfriend Taylor Swift.

But she also predicted both would eventually be married twice.

“The stars are aligned for these two at the moment,” Deborah Graham told The U.S. Sun.

“I see the relationship moving forward, and I see it moving towards that next level.

“The difficulty is that I see two life paths for them and two rings – I see two marriages there for both of them.”

It could see the value of the show skyrocket to an eye-watering $90 million.

The brothers recently hosted a live show at the home of the Cincinnati Bearcats, where they played college football.

A-listers including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Mahomes, and Saquon Barkley have all been recent guests.

Jason retired from the NFL earlier this year after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Travis, 34, is set to return for another season with the Chiefs as they target a historic threepeat in 2024.
