Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will host the game show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?”, Amazon announced Tuesday.
The 20-episode show is a spin-off of the popular game show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” It will premiere on Prime Video.
“I grew up loving game shows, and I'm excited to follow in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my first show with 'Are You Smarter Than Celebrities?'” Kelsey said in a press release. “The original show was a huge hit, so introducing a new format with everyone's favorite celebrities on screen is sure to be a treat. I'm so happy to be on the host side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up,” Kelsey said.

Kelce's show will follow the original idea, featuring an adult contestant who relies on a group of fifth-graders to help them answer 11 questions on a range of topics to win a $100,000 prize. “Are you smarter than celebrities?” He will replace fifth graders with celebrities.
Kelce, 34, and the Kansas City Chiefs just won their second straight Super Bowl in February. The eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time NFL All-Pro also became a household name last season, thanks in part to his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift and the “New Heights” podcast he hosts with his brother, who is now retired.
