Overview

  • Kelce said on the July 1 episode of Bussin’ With the Boys that the SNL table read in March 2023 was the toughest moment of his hosting debut because he “can’t really read that well.”
  • He praised the creative energy of writers’ room sessions and described himself as an “audio guy” who feels more comfortable improvising than cold-reading scripts.
  • The NFL star plans to focus on small, playful cameos rather than leading dramatic roles as he balances acting with his Chiefs commitments.
  • Kelce is set to appear as a waiter in Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2 before the Kansas City Chiefs kick off their 2025 season in September.
  • His growing résumé—from FX’s Grotesquerie to surprise SNL cameos—illustrates how he combines off-season projects with his ongoing football career.
