Travis Kelce is not going anywhere. The 34-year-old superstar is coming back for another season to the Kansas City Chiefs for a chance to three-peat, but that doesn't mean that he isn't preparing himself for a post-NFL life.

We don't know when the tight end will hang up his cleats, but we know that when he does, he will have a career in media and entertainment for a long time. And it seems like he doesn't even have to wait after retirement to kickstart his TV career. The latest reporting confirms that Travis Kelce will be hosting a new game show for Amazon's Prime Video.

The new game show is a spin-off of the iconic "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?". Instead of fifth-grade students, it will be celebrities going up against contestants trying to win $100,000. And it will be Kelce who will be running the show. The Chiefs icon couldn't contain his excitement in his news release.

"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.' 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. "

Kelce has been hosting his own podcast show, New Heights with his brother Jason. So, this will not be an entirely new thing for Travis. We are yet to find out about the details and the timeline of the show but Amazon announced that it ordered 20 episodes of the show. But, we know that we can't wait to see more of Travis Kelce on our screens.
