Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Reveals Struggles During 2023 SNL Hosting

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce opened up about his challenges while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2023, particularly struggling with the table read due to difficulties with reading. On the July 1 episode of the Bussin' with the Boys podcast, Kelce explained that he was focused on not skipping lines rather than fully acting out his character, which made the experience tough. Despite this, he took the role seriously, wanting to be professional and earn respect while also having fun during the show. Kelce contrasted his preparation for acting with football, noting he usually has a week to prepare for NFL games, whereas acting felt less structured, prompting him to rely on coaching and feedback. Off the field, Kelce has expanded into entertainment with roles in shows like 'Grotesquerie,' hosting 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?,' executive producing the dark comedy 'My Dead Friend Zoe,' and starring in the upcoming 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Additionally, Kelce discussed the intense media scrutiny he's faced dating pop star Taylor Swift, describing the constant paparazzi presence as the most challenging aspect of their high-profile relationship.
