The contestant won’t compete against the celebrities, instead they will use their help in an attempt to reach the final question. If they make it there, the contestant will select one celebrity to discuss the answer to a 6th-grade question before locking in their selection for the $100,000 prize.
Kelce will host all of the 20 episodes with him no stranger to jumping in front of the camera in the entertainment business. The Chiefs star hosts his chart-topping podcast ‘New Heights’ alongside his brother Jason Kelce which they have collaborated in since September 2022.
The three-time Super Bowl champion previously took to the stage in the iconic NBC show ‘Saturday Night Live’ in March 2023. His relationship with pop star Taylor Swift has also propelled him into the spotlight. Fans of Swift quipped in the comments section under the post: “If you know Aristotle, maybe...”, joking about a line of Swift’s song ‘So High School’ which has been suggested to have been written about Kelce.
Kelce made his stage debut as he bounced on stage during one of Swift’s shows in London, playing a theatrical role in her performance. He’s also hosted a sold-out music festival ‘KelceJam’ where over 17,000 people attended and major headlines performed, including Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Diplo.
“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 of the upcoming release of the TV show.
“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.”
