Nick looks back at the night Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce proved that professional athletes really can make great Saturday Night Live hosts. Thanks in part to cast member and Chiefs superfan Heidi Gardner, who convinced Lorne Michaels to book him, Kelce delivered one of the funniest episodes of the season and one of the strongest hosting performances ever by an athlete.

You’ll hear highlights from some of the night’s best sketches, including a hilarious trip to the American Girl Cafe, an emotional meeting between two exes, and an awkward family musical performance, all showcasing Kelce’s surprising comedy chops. Nick also shares behind-the-scenes stories, features Heidi Gardner talking about the experience on The Tonight Show, and wraps things up with a bonus Weekend Update appearance highlighting Punkie Johnson’s famously shaky celebrity knowledge.
