Travis Kelce, superstar tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, takes the stage as host of Saturday Night Live's 48th season, episode 14. Joined by country music sensation Kelsea Ballerini as musical guest, Kelce brings his comedic chops to the iconic sketch comedy show.
The episode kicks off with a cold open poking fun at Governor Andrew Cuomo's recent controversy, followed by a hilarious monologue from Kelce where he jokes about his football career and shares his love for Kansas City.
The skits that follow include a parody of the popular Disney+ show The Mandalorian, featuring Kelce as a bumbling bounty hunter. A sports-themed sketch brings Kelce back to his roots as he portrays a cocky athlete on a talk show, while a fake commercial for a dating app called "BaeWatch" entertains the audience with its ridiculous premise.
The show also includes musical performances from Kelsea Ballerini, who wows the audience with her hit single "Hole in the Bottle" and a rendition of her new song "Half of My Hometown" featuring a surprise appearance from Halsey.
Another standout skit is a hilarious portrayal of a virtual trivia night, complete with awkward virtual interactions and technical difficulties. Kelce also gets to showcase his musical abilities in a sketch where he plays a goat-themed rapper.
Overall, Saturday Night Live's 48th season, episode 14 delivers a solid night of comedy and entertainment, thanks in large part to Kelce's natural charm and Ballerini's musical talent. Fans of the show and fans of football alike won't want to miss this episode.
