Travis Kelce's mom Donna all set for TV debut on popular Super Bowl-themed game show: Report
Travis Kelce is, without a doubt, one of the best tight ends in NFL history. Howerver, he did not truly become a national icon before he was revealed to be dating pop star Taylor Swift.
Their relationship has brought the league an unprecedented amount of media attention, but it does not stop there. The nine-time Pro Bowler's mother, Donna, is now set for her own media breakthrough.
On Wednesday, CBS announced that a Super Bowl-themed episode of its long-running game show The Price Is Right will air on Feb. 7 (the network will air Super Bowl LVIII four days later). Host Drew Carey said:
“So, yeah, Donna Kelce was there. because she’s like the most famous football mom right now.”
Donna herself had been a fan of the show even before filming, regularly watching it:
“It’s fun. It’s just a blast. It’s just, you know, the excitement and trying to figure out what the prices are, what’s coming next, who wins, who loses. And so it’s really awesome.“
Donna Kelce’s appearance in Chiefs’ postseason film explained
The Price is Right is not the only media appearance Donna Kelce is getting this year.
On Wednesday, the Chiefs released a short film about their upcoming postseason run, and it carries a Hallmark-esque vibe. In it, a young woman (played by Hallmark actress Janel Parrish) is abandoned three years ago at the altar by her fiance, who has bought himself tickets to the Divisional Round game against the Cleveland Browns (which she refers to as “Dawg Pound‘ - a nickname for the bleachers at the Browns’ stadium).
She soon meets another man (played by Hallmark actor Tyler Hynes) but struggles to cope with his fandom for the Chiefs, so she consults Donna for advice (1:09 and 2:00). Donna tells her that they can still love both each other and the team, and the couple reconcile.
Punter Tommy Townsend, offensive linemen Trey Smith and Creed Humphrey, and the KC Wolf (the team mascot) also appear in the video, which can be seen below:
