Travis Kelce Reflects on SNL Reading Struggles as He Prepares for Happy Gilmore 2

Kelce describes the SNL table read as a major hurdle that has him favoring small comedic cameos over larger scripted roles

Overview

  • On the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, Kelce admitted the pre-show SNL table read was the hardest part because he “can’t really read that well” and felt desperate not to skip lines
  • He called the week-long preparation for SNL a “crazy ride,” rehearsing sketches and pre-recorded segments until 2 or 3 a.m.
  • Kelce said he felt “so much more comfortable” with the comedy once the table read was behind him and enjoyed the process of pitching ideas in the writers’ room
  • He has steered his acting ambitions toward fun, brief roles and appears as a waiter in Netflix’s upcoming Happy Gilmore 2, which he is now readying for release
  • Kelce remains reluctant to commit to a full-time TV series, noting that he isn’t yet comfortable with the demands of major scripted work
