Watch as Travis Kelce makes his first foray into series television hosting ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’
It’s game time for Travis Kelce when the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end tackles something new off the field as host of the highly-anticipated game show Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?, premiering Oct. 16 on Prime Video.
In the just released trailer, Travis explains the game, saying, “people can win ridiculous money just by answering questions about stuff we all learned in elementary school.”
The new trailer for the series provides a glimpse at the multifaceted celebrities that make up the on-set classroom, including comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer and Ron Funches; Thursday Night Football analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick; former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco; Real Housewife of Beverly Hills’ Garcelle Beauvais; Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and actress and producer Lilly Singh.

The format for the show is structured such that an adult contestant will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from comedy, screen and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects, pulled from elementary curriculum, in an effort to win a $100,000 prize.
Rather than compete against the stars, contestants enlist their help and, in some cases, can even “cheat” off of them. And on the final question, worth $100,000, the contestant selects one celebrity to discuss the answer with before locking in. The final question is always at the 6th-grade level.
When asked what his major was in school, Travis jokes in the trailer, “Criminal Justice. If I’m going to go to school, I might as well learn how to not go to jail.”
Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? premieres with three episodes on Oct. 16 as part of Prime Video’s Winning Wednesdays program, which also includes Buy It Now, Wish List Games and Pop Culture Jeopardy!
