Travis Kelce May Host Revival of ‘Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?’ According to Reports
Could Travis Kelce Be Your Next Game Show Host?
The gridiron meets the stage as Travis Kelce, the dynamic NFL star, enters discussions to pilot the comeback of the hit TV game show, “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?”, per insights from Variety.
An all-new “Fifth Grader” is slated to premiere on Amazon Prime, promising a fresh twist to an old favorite.
At 34, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is no stranger to the spotlight, having dabbled in entertainment outside of his impressive sports career. If these talks pan out, it’ll mark Kelce’s most substantial TV role to date. While juggling his ongoing commitment to professional football, the scheduling logistics remain a hurdle, and fans are left to wonder if it could spell a dealbreaker.
Travis Kelce: From the Field to the Screen
- His first foray into entertainment featured Kelce hosting a memorable episode of “Saturday Night Live.”
- The athlete also sought love in the spotlight with his reality series, “Catching Kelce.”
- He’s one half of the podcast “New Heights,” joining forces with his brother, Jason Kelce, lately of the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Kelce showed off his acting chops with a cameo in the Showtime series “Moonbase 8,” starring comedy heavyweight Fred Armisen.
The original “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” under the production magic of Mark Burnett, made waves on Fox in 2007 with Jeff Foxworthy at the helm. After a stretch on Fox and a stint in syndication, it finally landed a reboot on Nickelodeon with John Cena playing quizmaster in 2019.

The New Twist on Amazon Prime
This reboot will spice things up, introducing us to celebrity contenders squaring off with savvy kids, as opposed to the original’s everyday challengers.
In a celebrity romance capable of charming the tabloids, Kelce’s union with music sensation Taylor Swift has not only caught the public’s eye but also skyrocketed NFL viewership among Swift’s legion of fans.
The crossover of game show and sports has a storied past, with Michael Strahan tackling “The $100,000 Pyramid” and Peyton Manning calling the shots on “College Bowl.” Could Kelce be the next to cement his name in this tradition?
Other dazzling names in sports have graced the game show stage… But the question remains: will Travis Kelce soon join the ranks of these charismatic athlete-hosts? With his charm and competitive spirit, the potential reboot of “Fifth Grader” could indeed be a perfect match.
