“I don’t know. I’d rather just play ball, man. I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything,” Kelce said.
“I’m way over the reality s—, I’m out on that s—.”

The wins continue to pile up for the All-Pro tight end. There had been rumors that Kelce would take on a new role as a game show host. On April 16 he confirmed that he will be the new host of “Are You Smarter than a Celebrity.”
“I grew up loving game shows. So 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?,” the Chiefs’ star said in a statement.
“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.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner also joked that the best part of hosting the upcoming game show is the fact that he is not a contestant.
“So I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up,” he joked.
