Less than a month after rumors first surfaced, it's now official: Travis Kelce is entering the game show scene.

Prime Video announced that they have ordered a 20-episode run of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, set to be hosted by three-time Super Bowl Champion Travis Kelce. The press release details the twist of this edition of the show, originally popularized as Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? This time, contestants will be relying on celebrities instead of children.

"Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? offers a fun, new twist on the premise of the original popular format," the press release reads. "Each game will welcome an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from stage, 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. They are not competing against the stars…they’re enlisting 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."

In the release, Kelce expressed his excitement to host the reboot and to host a game show after growing up as a fan of them.

"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. "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."

The press release also summarizes Kelce's on-field accomplishments (which we'll assume Chiefs fans are already familiar with) before noting Kelce's off-the-field successes and future goals.

"In addition to being a generational talent and the co-host of the top-charting sports podcast, New Heights, Kelce is building a portfolio across industries," the release reads. "He has a passion for the entertainment business and an interest in bringing more live events, entertainment, and community initiatives anchored in music, sports, fashion, and comedy to his diverse global audience."
