Travis Kelce's Hilarious Confession: SNL Table Read Struggles!
TRAVIS KELCE'S LAUGHABLE LITERACY LIMITS: CHIEFS STAR'S SHOCKING ADMISSION ABOUT HIS SNL HOSTING EXPERIENCE
Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most iconic entertainment shows in the world - Saturday Night Live! And who better to spill the tea than none other than Kansas City Chiefs superstar, Travis Kelce? In a hilarious and candid conversation on his podcast "Bussin' with the Boys," the charismatic tight end dished about his experience hosting SNL back in 2023.
But here's the juiciest part: Kelce confessed that he struggled mightily during the infamous table read! GASP Yes, you heard that right - the usually smooth-talking, charming Travis Kelce admitted that he can't really read well. Who knew?
The 35-year-old sports superstar went on to reveal that while he enjoyed the writers' room experience, where he was pitched ideas and got to brainstorm with the SNL team, the table reading itself was a whole different story. "It was kind of a f*ed situation," Kelce quipped, emphasizing his lack of literacy skills.
As you might expect, this led to some pretty cringe-worthy moments during the actual reading. Kelce revealed that he was more focused on not messing up than actually bringing the characters to life. "I felt like I was just trying to get through the reading instead of actually acting it out and giving it a voice," he said with a chuckle.
But don't worry, folks - this wasn't all doom and gloom! Kelce also shared that once he got into the swing of things, doing the silly stuff on the show became second nature. "I was like, 'Yeah, I can do this!' He laughed, recounting his time on the SNL set.
As for what's next for Kelce in the world of entertainment, fans are in for a real treat! The Chiefs star has already made waves with his roles in shows like "Grotesquerie" and hosting gigs like "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?" - and now, he's about to hit the big screen alongside none other than Adam Sandler in "Happy Gilmore 2," set to release on July 25th.
In this upcoming comedy, Kelce is rumored to play a country club or hotel employee, with some of his scenes featuring a shouting match with Bad Bunny, who plays the caddy for Sandler's Happy Gilmore character. Talk about a power duo!
Sandler himself couldn't contain his excitement when discussing Kelce's involvement on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" last August. "He's going to come by. He's a very nice guy... What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He's a stud, and he's so funny," Sandler gushed.
When asked about his experience at the Amazon Port Panel in Cannes recently, Kelce was beaming with pride, having brought his brother Jason along for the ride. And don't worry - despite being whisked away to Kansas City for mandatory Chiefs practice just days later, Kelce didn't let that dampen his spirits. "It was a fun roller coaster," he summed it up.
So, will Travis Kelce be bringing his A-game (and maybe even some literacy skills?) back to the SNL stage? Only time will tell! Stay tuned for more updates from The Scholarly Note (thescholarlynote.com) on this charismatic athlete's ventures into the world of entertainment.
