Travis Kelce is capitalizing on his newfound fame.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, is reportedly in talks to host the reboot of “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” which would stream via Amazon Prime Video.
Two insiders told Variety on Tuesday that the game show would feature celebrity guests rather than children.
Despite Kelce’s interest in the program, producers are hesitant to extend an offer over questions of his availability due to his contract with the Chiefs running until 2025.
Reps for Kelce did not immediately reply to ’s request for comment.
The original show, hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, first aired on Fox in 2007 and ran for three seasons.
A revived version of the beloved game show then premiered on Nickelodeon in 2019 and was hosted by John Cena. However, it only lasted one season.
Even before his romance with Taylor Swift, the hunky NFL star has been trying to build his Hollywood portfolio.
The three-time Super Bowl champion, who signed with agency CAA to pursue his acting dreams, hosted “Saturday Night Live” last March and had his own reality dating show in 2016.
He also starred in over 375 nationwide commercials in the 2023 NFL season — which, according to the Wall Street Journal, is more than any other athlete or celebrity.
On top of that, Travis hosts “New Heights” with his brother, Jason, which has become the No. 1 Spotify podcast in the sports category.
Most recently, he earned his first executive producer credit for the film “My Dead Friend Zoe,” which debuted at the South by Southwest Film Festival this month.
