REVEALED: Travis Kelce ‘agreed to host Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? BEFORE his profile exploded amid Taylor Swift romance’ – and he’s ‘set to start media coaching ahead of filming this summer’

According to US Weekly, the 34-year-old will be tabbed as the host of the show being tentatively titled ‘Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?

‘ Kelce will be taking over the role formerly held by comedian Jeff Foxworthy when the show had its initial run on FOX from 2007 to 2009.In 2019, the show switched networks to Nickelodeon where it ran for one season while hosted by WWE superstar John Cena.

Kelce’s re-boot will be aired on the paid streaming service Amazon Prime Video.

The new format will feature contestants facing off against a group of three celebrities, rather than the previous panel of children in grade school.

US Weely says that Kelce is set to begin rehearsal and media coaching in the following weeks – with production starting in the summer.

Initial reports from Deadline back in March indicated that while Kelce had been picked, his potential involvement in the project wasn’t a done deal – and that he might lack the availability to host the show.

But US Weekly’s reporting seems to indicate that isn’t the case.

It may be a surprise to some that Kelce has been tabbed for hosting duties, but US says the deal to do this was done ‘long before Travis’ profile was raised, and now he has to honor the contract.

‘[They’ll shoot] several test episodes and really fine-tune the show and Kelce so this doesn’t embarrass him.’
