Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was excited to see his brother Jason make a surprise cameo appearance on the premiere episode of ABC’s sitcom “Abbott Elementary” earlier this month.
While the episode aired ahead of the Super Bowl, Travis only started reacting to it during this week’s edition of the ‘New Heights’ podcast and couldn’t hold back his emotions.
“Holy s–t, Jason, you’re at the damn Abbott Elementary premiere!” Travis, 34, proudly exclaimed on the podcast. “Quinta (Brunson) is great, dude. I love that show.”
Jason appeared alongside Eagles teammates Jalen Hurts and Brandon Graham in an episode where the three NFL stars spoke to kids and teachers via Zoom during a school career day.
Hurts was also part of a failed marriage proposal in that episode, which led to Graham and Kelce teasing the quarterback for being late for practice.

As Hurts explained that the proposal fell through, Kelce joked, “Another proposal,” prompting Graham to say, “Jalen, you gotta say no to things like this.”
Travis had nothing but praise for the show, which has been nominated for 15 Emmy Awards and won four.
When Hurts explains that the proposal went wrong, Kelce jokes, “Another proposal,” while Graham jokes, “Jalen, you gotta say no to things like this.”
“(Abbott Elementary) has to be one of my favorites,” Travis added on the podcast. “I just started binge-watching the first season, so I haven’t even gotten to the second one yet, but damn, you’re always on the coolest shows in Philadelphia. Why can’t Kansas City have a show?’
“I love what this show represents,” Jason said. “Anything that sheds light on public schools and the school system in Philadelphia is pretty special. And Quinta is doing a fantastic job, as is the entire crew there at Abbott Elementary. I was therefore honored that they asked us to be part of it.’
Jason has previously used his acting skills in an episode of the dark comedy show ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ in 2018, after the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
