Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was hyped to see that his brother Jason made a surprise cameo appearance on the premiere episode of ABC’s sitcom ‘Abbott Elementary’ earlier this month.
While the episode aired prior to the Super Bowl, Travis only started reacting to it on this week’s edition of the ‘New Heights’ podcast and didn’t hold his emotion back.
‘Holy s–t, Jason, you’re on that f–king Abbott Elementary premiere!’ Travis, 34, proudly exclaimed on the podcast. ‘Quinta [Brunson]’s awesome, dude. I love that show.’
Jason appeared alongside Eagles teammates Jalen Hurts and Brandon Graham in an episode where the three NFL stars spoke to children and teachers via Zoom during a school career day.
Hurts was also part of a failed marriage proposal in that episode which led to Graham and Kelce teasing the quarterback for being late for practice.
Travis had nothing but praise for the show – which has been nominated for 15 Emmy Awards and won four.
When Hurts explains the proposal gone wrong, Kelce jokes, ‘Another proposal,’ while Graham quips, ‘Jalen, you gotta say no to this kind of stuff.’
‘[Abbott Elementary] has got to be one of my favorites,’ Travis added on the podcast. ‘I just started binge-watching the first season, so I haven’t even gotten to the second, but goddamnit, you’re always on the coolest Philadelphia shows. Why can’t Kansas City have a show?’
‘I love what this show represents,’ Jason said. ‘Anything that sheds light on public schools and the Philadelphia school system is pretty special. And Quinta does a fantastic job, as does the whole crew over there at Abbott Elementary. So I was honored that they asked us to be part of it for sure.’
Jason has used his acting chops before in an episode of the dark comedy show ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ back in 2018 after the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
Travis Kelce’s nieces have him ‘wrapped round their fingers’, reveals his father Ed about the Kansas City Chiefs star – who is heading to Australia to see girlfriend Taylor Swift in concert in Sydney
Ed Kelce revealed that his younger son, Travis, happens to have a very soft spot for his three nieces.
While the Kansas City Chiefs star has become a household name due to his football prowess and high profile relationship with Taylor Swift, Ed shared how his nieces have ‘Uncle Trav’ wrapped around their fingers.
Ed was referring to Jason Kelce‘s daughters with his wife Kylie. The pair share four-year-old Wyatt, two-year-old Elliotte and 11-month-old Bennett.
‘It all revolves around the girls, the granddaughters, as you can imagine,’ Ed said on Australia’s Today Show. ‘Who have, not surprisingly, both their grandfathers and their father wrapped around their fingers.
‘They can do whatever they want. And they have their Uncle Trav wrapped around their fingers when he shows up.’

After Ed mentioned how Jason’s household in Philadelphia is more family-centered, he pointed out the contrast with Travis’ lifestyle in Kansas City.
‘We’ve had some good barbecues out there and enjoyed it,’ Ed said. ‘He has a lot of friends that will show up. It seems like there’s always somebody from back home in Kansas City.’
Earlier this week, Ed shared that Travis was ‘keen’ to reunite with his popstar girlfriend in Australia as she resumes her record-breaking Eras tour. The 14-time Grammy winning artist flew from Tokyo to Las Vegas overnight to support Kelce at the Super Bowl on February 11.
‘Well, look, we spoke after the Super Bowl, and I asked him, ‘Are you going to take off for Sydney?’ and he seemed keen,’ Ed told the Sydney Morning Herald. ‘He said he’d really like to see Sydney and Singapore, but he wasn’t sure because he has commitments.’
Kelce’s week since winning their third title in five years has been split between Kansas City and Las Vegas. On Tuesday, he was spotted back in Sin City while participating in a charity golf tournament.
On Wednesday, however, TMZ reported that the Chiefs star boarded a private jet and was en route to the land down under for Swift’s tour.
Swift has four more performances in Sydney’s Accord Stadium before taking the show to Singapore in March. The tour will then make several stops in Europe before wrapping up in Toronto and Vancouver.
