Jason Kelce delivers clue on 'Jeopardy!' with signature charm

Jason Kelce read off a challenging question referencing his No 1 Billboard hit with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

"In 2023, my brother Travis and I had our first of what I can only assume will be many Billboard No 1 hits with 'Fairytale Of Philadelphia' including the line, 'You promised me' this famous street 'was waiting for me,'" recited the father of three with his signature charm, setting up the trivia challenge.

The competition was fierce, but Will Yancey, a lecturer of history from Banquete, Texas, was quick on the buzzer. 

Without missing a beat, he confidently responded, "What is Broad Street?" securing $1,000 and catapulting his total score to an impressive $12,000 by the end of the first round.

The episode, which also featured contestants Alisa Kindsfater, an English teacher from Enola, Arkansas, and Aiden Orzech, a teacher from Ontario, Canada, became an instant fan favorite.

While Jason's cameo was a pleasant surprise, it wasn't the first time he was seen on the NBC show. 

Earlier this year, the 'Jeopardy! Masters' finale featured a category titled, "The World Revolves Around Jason Kelce," according to The Mirror US
