Football star Travis Kelce is making waves as he dips his toes into acting, but he recently revealed that his experience guest-hosting Saturday Night Live was not without its challenges.

During a candid chat on the *Bussin’ with the Boys* podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end disclosed that the table reading was the toughest part of the gig, confessing, "I can’t really read that well." He described the situation as a bit of a "f***ed situation," where he found himself more focused on simply getting through the script than truly bringing his character to life.

Kelce shared, "The writers’ rooms were fun because you’re just getting pitched ideas, but the table read? For a guy like me, it was kind of stressful. I was just trying not to skip lines!" His honesty about the struggle added a relatable touch to his journey into comedy.

Despite the rough start, Kelce said he felt right at home when it came to the comedic aspects of the show, noting, "The silly stuff, the funny stuff, the comedy—man, I just feel so much more comfortable with that." He struck a balance between professionalism and having fun, stating, "I want to take this seriously, but I also want to enjoy myself and avoid looking like a loser. It was just a fun roller coaster, man!"

In his *SNL* debut, Kelce didn't shy away from self-deprecating humor, poking fun at his own reality TV past during the monologue. He even had a surprise cameo from his brother Jason during one of the sketches! Plus, he made headlines again later that year with a hilarious appearance in an NFL parody that lampooned the relentless coverage of Taylor Swift at Chiefs' games.

It’s clear that Kelce's transition from the football field to the comedy scene is a bumpy yet entertaining ride, and fans can't wait to see what he does next!
