A Saturday Night Live cast member's belief in Travis Kelce's comedic talent paved the way for his successful hosting gig.
A cast member of Saturday Night Live (SNL) played a key role in landing Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as host. Heidi Gardner , a Chiefs fan herself, believed Kelce had the comedic talent to handle the live SNL audience. She had previously worked with him at the ESPYs and knew his charm and humor firsthand. Gardner championed Kelce to Lorne Michaels, the show's creator, suggesting him as a host. Michaels initially had a condition: Kelce had to win the Super Bowl .
Gardner thought it was a lot of pressure, but Kelce went on to host the March 4, 2023 episode of SNL to great acclaim. Some speculate that Kelce's successful hosting gig may have helped him attract the attention of singer Taylor Swift, with whom he started dating in September 2023
