Travis Kelce pokes fun at his 1-year weed suspension, classroom struggles in Saturday Night Live monologue
Coming off his second Super Bowl, Travis Kelce may be the best tight end in NFL history — but that didn’t come without some troubles in his past.
While playing football at Cincinnati, Kelsey was suspended for the entire 2010 season after testing positive for marijuana. – Good thing they brought him back.
In high school, Kelce struggled in the classroom. During his Saturday Night Live monologue, he admitted that he failed at French “and English, but French sounds good.”

However, he looked on the bright side.
“Just goes to show you that if you’re bad in school and smoke weed, you can win the Super Bowl twice.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was the first athlete to host SNL since JJ Watt in 2020.
He wrapped up his seventh straight season of at least 1,000 receiving yards, as his 110 catches and 12 touchdowns were career highs.
Kelsey’s 1,338 receiving yards were the second-most in a season.
He has also been named an All-Pro in each of the last seven seasons.
Jokes for Jason
This past Super Bowl was the first time in Super Bowl history where two brothers played against each other – Jason Kelce is a center for the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the tight end monologue, she jokes that beating Jason was “weird” because “Mommy got us together,” and they had to share a ride back home.
Jason and Callus’ parents were in attendance, and although he remained silent during his brother’s monologue, Jason was still very much a part of it.

Travis said that despite blowing a 10-point lead in the game, his older brother was still proud of him, and both agreed that a controversial holding penalty was called correctly. When the camera panned to the eagle, he was stone-faced, which drew laughter.
For all we know, Jason probably wasn’t acting – Super Bowl LVII was played just three weeks ago.
