Travis Kelce, a Kansas City Chiefs star and host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, will appear in an upcoming episode of Prime Video's game show. In a clip shared with PEOPLE, Kelce uses YouTube star
Lilly Singh to save a contestant from elimination. The series features contestants relying on various stars to answer elementary school questions in various subjects to win $100,000. The show is set to premiere on October 23. "The saxophone is a member of what family of instruments?" was the question asked in the new episode.
Panelists Chad Ochocinco, Garcelle Beauvais, Ron Funches, and Natasha Leggero wrote responses to a prompt while Singh tried to save a constant. The responses varied, with Ochocinco writing "brass," Leggero and Funches each "wind," and Beauvais writing "horn." Ultimately, none of the celebrities correctly answered, leading to speculation about the differences between instruments. "Wait, is woodwind different than wind?" asked Leggero, before hilariously adding, "Why am I asking you Travis?" As the audience chuckled at her quip, Kelce said he would clarify the confusion for her. "It is a more specific version of the wind," he confidently confirmed, while Leggero replied, "I knew you would know that!”
Kelce went on to elaborate, flexing his knowledge of the instrument. "I believe there is a wooden piece that goes onto..." he began, before Ochocinco chimed in to finish his sentence, adding, "the reed." Kelce confirmed the piece he was referring to, but humorously criticized the former NFL wide receiver for using "brass" as his answer, causing laughter from the crowd and celebrities.
Celebrities, including Lily Singh, were called upon to save a contestant from cheating in a game. Singh, known for her short-form comedy channels, had over 14.5 million subscribers and 1.5 billion views. If Singh wrote anything else besides "woodwind," Kelce confirmed the contestant would be done. The teaser clip ends before revealing what Singh wrote down, which would ultimately decide the contestant's fate in the game.
