As a die-hard fan of both the Kansas City Chiefs and Saturday Night Live, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride and admiration for Heidi Gardner‘s relentless pursuit of getting Travis Kelce to host SNL. Her passion for sports and comedy culminated in an extraordinary moment that brought together two worlds I never thought would intersect so perfectly.
It’s not every day you get to see a professional athlete like Travis Kelce tailgating before hosting one of the most iconic sketch comedy shows in history, but Gardner made it happen! And let me tell you, when I heard that Kelce was eating barbecue in her dressing room before going on stage, I couldn’t help but imagine the hilarious sketches that must have ensued.
Now, if only someone could find a way to get Taylor Swift involved in all of this… maybe we can convince her to write a song about Kelce’s SNL experience? How about a little ditty called “Barbecue in My Dressing Room”? I’m sure it would be a chart-topper!
In March 2023, Travis Kelce served as the host of “Saturday Night Live”. Currently, one of the show’s cast members, Heidi Gardner, is revealing the backstage story of how he was persuaded to take on that role for the first time.
In an episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Gardner mentioned that his most significant shift in this area, which did prove effective but took a couple of years, was with Travis Kelce. While I don’t wish to claim all the credit for the show and its talent department, as a devoted Chiefs fan, I had noticed Kelce’s humorous and charismatic performances in various roles. I thought, “He’s funny, he’s charming.”
Gardner shared on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast that his most impactful change in this aspect, which took a couple of years to show results, was with Travis Kelce. Although he doesn’t want to take complete credit for the show and its talent department, as an ardent Chiefs fan, he had observed Kelce’s humorous and endearing appearances in different roles. He mused, “He’s funny, he’s charming.”)
At the 2023 ESPY Awards, the duo collaborated on a specific segment. For years, Gardner advocated for Kelce to host “SNL,” and finally, Lorne Michaels, the executive producer and creator, agreed under one stipulation: Kelce had to win the Super Bowl before taking on the hosting role.
Gardner reminisced, ‘I felt it was quite a lot to request.’ Later, it turned out that Kelce was on the victorious Kansas City Chiefs squads in the years 2020, 2023, and 2024.
Gardner explained that numerous friends and relatives of Kelce attended the performance. She had assumed that the Kelce family wouldn’t be able to participate in the pre-game festivities with her, but then she received a text message.
Gardner reminisces about finding a photo on her phone, which showed Travis and Jason Kelce enjoying barbecue in her dressing room prior to their ‘SNL’ appearance. Interestingly, Jason Kelce is the first host in ‘SNL’ history to have tailgated before hosting the show.
Frequently linked with Taylor Swift, many music enthusiasts often forget that Kelce’s public romance began half a year after he hosted “SNL.” Following his “SNL” stint, Kelce has taken on roles in the FX series “Grotesquerie” and is slated to appear in “Happy Gilmore 2,” which is due for release on Netflix in 2025.
