Travis Kelce could be adding another endeavor to his off-field résumé.
The star Chiefs tight end is in talks to host a reboot of the game show “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” that would be “celebrity-focused” at Amazon Prime Video, Variety reported Tuesday citing “two people familiar with the matter.”
The report comes a month after Kelce, 34, captured his third Super Bowl win with the Chiefs in the past five seasons.
Although Kelce proudly proclaimed in February he’s seeking a three-peat with the Chiefs following their 25-22 overtime win against the 49ers in Super Bowl 2024, Variety noted “there are some questions” regarding “how much of a commitment Kelce could make to the venture if he continues playing football.”
The All-Pro tight end just completed his 11th NFL season.
Kelce’s older brother, longtime Eagles center Jason Kelce, announced his NFL retirement earlier this month after 13 seasons in Philadelphia.
The brothers currently host the weekly “New Heights” podcast.
Kelce previously hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live” in 2023 and starred in the dating show, “Catching Kelce,” which aired on E! for one season in 2016.
Originally hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader” premiered in 2007 on Fox and later moved to syndication.
John Cena also hosted an installment of the show with Nickelodeon.
Kelce’s profile has continued to skyrocket as his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift intensifies.
The couple, who began dating last summer, are reportedly vacationing in an undisclosed location.
Swift, 34, is on hiatus from her blockbuster Eras Tour, which resumes on May 9 in Paris.
Kelce supported Swift on the road this past month when she brought the Eras Tour to Singapore.
Swift, meanwhile, attended 13 Chiefs games this season, including Super Bowl 2024.
She and Kelce sealed Kansas City’s victory with a kiss on the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Reps for Kelce did not immediately return The Post’s request for comment.
