The company also touted the addition of NFL Superstar Travis Kelce for Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?. 2024’s upfront presentations are off and rolling and Prime Video has given viewers a lot to chew on here in the early going. Of course heavy-hitters like The Boys and The Rings of Power have been represented. But, there had to be a little something for people who love reality shows and various competitions as well.

What a wild 12 months for Travis Kelce. Win another Super Bowl? Check. Date the most famous woman on the planet? Check. (Hello Taylor if you’re reading this!) And now, a foray into game shows featuring one of TV’s sturdiest formats. Prime Video knew how to get some eyeballs on this one when they enlisted the help of the star Kansas City Chiefs tight end. His celebrity classmates are set to include familiar faces like Nikki Glaser, Nicole Byer, Ron Funches and Natasha Leggero. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chad Ochocinco stop by to help their NFL friend out as well. Here’s what Kelce had to say when the show got announced:
“I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with Are you Smarter than a Celebrity,” Kelce said in a statement. “The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining. I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up.”
