Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made his long-awaited SNL debut on Saturday, revealing it was “awkward” winning the Super Bowl against his older brother and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason.
The 33-year-old made jokes in front of his older brother, 35, just under a month since the Chiefs’ 38-35 win over Jalen Hurts and Co. in Glendale, Arizona on February 12.
“You know, people keep asking me what it was like to beat my brother in the Super Bowl, and it was pretty awkward,” Travis told a packed audience, including his mother, Donna, and father, Ed.
‘Especially because after the game, we had to travel home together. Our mother took us there in her minivan, just like old times.’
The two-time Super Bowl champion added that “even though his team lost after being up ten points in the half, my brother is really happy for me,” before the camera panned to an unresponsive Jason.

And you agree that the referee made the correct call. It was a hold,” Travis joked with Jason once again looking furious, referring to the controversial callout against Eagles cornerback James Braberry for clinging to Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s jersey in the Last minutes of the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs never looked back after taking a penalty. With just 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, and the score tied at 35–35, Kansas City took its first lead of the night via Harrison Butker’s 27-yard field goal.
Stupefied, Philadelphia had only six seconds to go 64 yards down the field, and Hurts’ desperate Hail Mary pass fell incomplete as time expired.
However, recalling a historic night for the Kelce brothers, who became the first pair of brothers to face each other in Super Bowl history, Travis quipped, “Hosting SNL is so much better, baby.”
He then described his and Jason’s journeys to the biggest stage in football.
‘Jason and I have played soccer together since we were little kids. And he was always better than me…at everything,” Travis said. “In high school, he was an honor student and I got kicked off the team because I flunked French and English too, but French sounds so much better.”
“And then when we were in college, I got kicked off the team because I tested positive for marijuana. So it just goes to show you that if you smoke weed and suck in school, you can win the Super Bowl twice!
Travis also gushed about his mom, Donna, who was spotted in a sell-out crowd at State Farm Stadium wearing Eagles and Chiefs colors.
Although he was supporting his two children, his youngest son joked that “my mom was on TV more than the two of us,” referring to him and his brother.

Speaking of both brothers being in the spotlight, Jason made a surprise appearance on one of the show’s skits after the production team asked him to appear alongside his brother on Saturday’s latest episode of SNL.

After learning that his ex has moved on, Gardner can’t hold back his tears, though he finally pulls himself together before telling Travis and his fiancée, played by SNL actress Chloe Fineman, that “none of that matters now, because as said”. , I’m in a relationship, and it’s so good. He’s a little older and totally scarred.
Jason enters, who asks his partner, ‘Hey, bubba. I’m sorry, I was late. Is this boy bothering you? Do you need me to hit it? Because he definitely could.
Travis, who can’t believe his ex moved on to a better match, replied, ‘Wait. That’s your Boyfriend? He is totally cool. Oh Lord. He is totally cool. Oh Lord.’
The Chiefs tight end then bursts into tears in what was his turn to feel a loss, for once.
