Travis Kelce has embodied the iconic Indiana Jones as he gears up for his Saturday Night Live debut.

The Kansas City Chiefs star won the Super Bowl last month and promptly announced his appearance on SNL. Always a fan of the show, the tight end was nervous about his debut.

As the episode nears, SNL has dropped promos. The most recent promo was a sketch heavily mirroring Indiana Jones, with Kelce dressed accordingly. Picking up the SNL blocks, Kelce replaces them with the Lombardi Trophy as he exits.

While many fans couldn't wait for the episode to air, others weren't too thrilled with his performance.

Many just straight-up insulted the show, referring to it as "horrible". A few users were upset at the content, wondering why the viewers had to be "punished" after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

Of course, Travis Kelce's appearance had to spark a few Jason Kelce comments. Many believed that Travis' brother would have done a much better job as the host.

A few Indiana Jones fans pointed out that the gear wasn't accurate, and wondered if the showrunners needed any help with the costumes.


Travis Kelce's SNL debut was a long time coming

As per reports, Heidi Gardner is to be thanked for Kelce's SNL appearance. Gardner apparently saw what a good host he could be, and has been pitching him to the producers for two years.

Apparently, Gardner spotted Kelce's charisma during the Chiefs' 2020 Super Bowl parade.

“I’m wearing about half the beers I been tryin’ to drink, baby,” Kelce said at the time. “It’s been a long time comin’ because what did we do? We had to fight, for our right, to PA-RRRRRRRRTY!”

Gardner ended up meeting Kelce a few months later during the ESPY Awards held via Zoom. Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and stars like Eric Stonestreet and David Koechner were present.

Of course, as Kelce's SNL debut nears, fans are wondering whether Patrick Mahomes will make a cameo appearance. Considering their chemistry, one cannot rule out Jason Kelce also making an appearance.
