Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a> is seemingly adding game show host to his resume.<\/p>\n

An industry insider exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly<\/em>\u00a0that production is currently underway for Amazon Prime\u2019s upcoming competition series, tentatively titled Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity<\/em>. Kelce, 34, will serve as host.<\/p>\n

The show, which is based on the Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader<\/em> series, will feature contestants facing off against a panel of three stars. The insider tells Us<\/em> that Kelce is set to start rehearsal and media coaching in the next couple of weeks, with production beginning this summer.<\/p>\n

While it may be an unexpected move for Kelce to host, the source says the deal was done \u201clong before Travis\u2019 profile was raised, and now he has to honor the contract. [They\u2019ll shoot] several test episodes and really fine-tune the show and Kelce so this doesn\u2019t embarrass him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, all I can tell Travis Kelce is be careful, because you might not be smarter than a fifth grader,\u201d Harvey, 67, exclusively told Us<\/em> in March. \u201cThe reason I\u2019ve survived so long on Family Feud is I know I\u2019m not smarter than the contestants. I just wait on you to make your own blunder, and then, I capitalize on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
