“Growing up, I was a huge [Chris] Farley, Will [Ferrell], Fallon kind of guy growing up. I used to watch ‘Saturday Night Live’ with my mother, and it’s an absolute honor and a privilege to be hosting ‘SNL’ March 4,” he said at the time.

Kelce said at the time he was “nervous” but judging by the success of his podcast and that he was on a reality television show early in his career, he should be just fine.

Kelce and his brother Jason host the “New Heights” podcast which skyrocketed in popularity as the two players headed on a crash course for the Super Bowl.
