“Kansas City Chiefs Tight End in Discussions to Host Celebrity-Centric Revival of Classic Game Show”
Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end is reportedly in talks to host a celebrity-centric revival of the long-standing game show “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, as per two sources familiar with the situation. If finalized, this deal would mark the football star’s latest venture into entertainment, following his appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” the reality series “Catching Kelce,” and a podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason.
Amazon Prime Video declined to provide comments from their executives, and attempts to reach out to CAA, the agency representing Kelce, were unsuccessful at the time of reporting. According to individuals knowledgeable about the discussions, there are concerns regarding Kelce’s availability for the project if he continues his football career.
The revamped version of the show, originally hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy on Fox’s broadcast network, would pivot towards featuring celebrity guests instead of children, according to these sources.
