KANSAS, MISSOURI: Philadelphia Eagles star and Travis Kelce's brother Jason Kelce might be the next NFL player to host 'Saturday Night Live' after his brother.
He told TMZ Sports that he would love to do it and that it would be an honor to participate in the iconic show.
Jason Kelce loves ‘SNL’ and was impressed by his brother’s performance
Jason Kelce said that he grew up watching ‘SNL’ and that he was amazed by the talent and the work that goes into making the show.
“Of course, I love ‘SNL’,” 36-year-old Jason said, adding “It’s one of the shows I grew up watching, an iconic show of great proportions and hilarity. Yeah, I would obviously do it.”
He added that he was fortunate to watch Travis do it last year and that he came away beyond impressed with all the people involved in making that show work.
TMZ said that they reached out to their ‘SNL’ sources and "they couldn’t say enough good things about Jason, and would love to have him back in some capacity in the future."
The publication reported, "It could even mean giving him the hosting gig, which is something he wouldn’t take lightly."
“It would be beyond an honor to participate in something like that, for sure,” Jason told TMZ about the possibility.
Jason Kelce is also into acting and comedy
Jason Kelce is not only a great football player, but also a budding actor and comedian. He recently had a cameo on the ABC sitcom 'Abbott Elementary', where he played a substitute teacher.
The publication noted he would have no issue making people laugh in case the 'SNL' producers call home to host the show.
The likely offer comes after Jason had a wild time at the Kansas City Chiefs game on January 21, where he supported his brother Travis by going shirtless and meeting his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Jason Kelce's shirtless antics made people laugh as people loved him
In one of the episodes with Travis Kelce on the ‘New Heights’ podcast on January 24, following the celebration, he revealed his wife Kylie Kelce was not amused by his antics, especially when he went shirtless in the stadium seats.
Jason Kelce admitted his wife Kylie Kelce was unhappy with his wild celebrations. “I don’t think she was happy about it to be honest with you.”
He said that he had given his wife a heads-up before he decided to go shirtless and jump out of the suite.
“I said I’m taking my shirt off and I’m jumping out of that suite. And she said, ‘Jason, don’t you dare,’” he revealed.
He argued that his shirtless stunt was part of his charm and that he had similarly met his wife. “She was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor,” Jason said.
“She’s like, ‘Be on your best behavior,’” he remembered, adding, “I was like, 'Kylie, the first thing I met you I was blacked out drunk and fell asleep at the bar.”
