'Jeopardy!' posts apology for savage clue about Travis Kelce

The clue, which was captioned "Sorry to this man" alongside a laughing emoji, read, "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? is hosted by this man who's maybe more famous as a BF than as a three-time Super Bowl champ."

As 'Jeopardy!' made the post over the weekend, Travis Kelce was busy breaking a franchise record on Sunday, October 10, with his second touchdown of the season.

Kelce caught a much-needed touchdown late in the first half against the Denver Broncos after he had a slow start to the year.

The touchdown also tied him at number one for the most receiving touchdowns in Chiefs history along with the legendary Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez on 76 career touchdowns.

Swift, who was also present in the stadium during the game, was spotted with a huge smile on her face after Kelce tied the record on Sunday.

The NFL star added that his dad Ed Kelce and brother Jason Kelce can handle the show and its questions. He said, "I think my dad would do pretty good. Jason ...he’s got some pretty good trivia knowledge, so I think he’d fare pretty good as well."

Kelce added that he would prepare for filming backstage by reading through all the questions and quizzing himself in the process. He said that as he answered them, he "felt pretty confident".

He said, "I don’t know if I’m making it all the way to $100,000. I want to say I could probably make it to fourth or fifth grade. I can make it through ... I can give a good run at it."

Swifties rip 'Jeopardy!' for apology over clue about Travis Kelce

Several Taylor Swift fans ripped 'Jeopardy!' for apologizing after seemingly making fun of the reason Travis Kelce is famous.

A person also stated, "Travis Kelce is the greatest tight end to ever play in the NFL. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. He's made well over 100 million for his career" whereas one mentioned, "As far as Jeopardy! goes it's just a dying game show that has become tired and stale with ratings that have been steadily dying over the last few years."

A user also wrote, "Travis Kelce has a very bright future. Can't say the same for Jeopardy!" while one commented, "Haven't watched this show since the death of Alex and now I know I'm not missing much."
