AceShowbiz - "Jeopardy!" fans are buzzing on social media after a recent episode took what some are calling a "shady" jab at NFL star Travis Kelce. The hit game show, which aired on Wednesdays, prompted a flurry of reactions online over a clue that many found to be a thinly-veiled dig at Kelce's relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift.

The contentious moment unfolded during a $200 clue in the category "The TV Show in Question." Host Ken Jennings read aloud, " 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' is hosted by this man who's maybe more famous as a boyfriend than as a three-time Super Bowl champ." Contestant Derek Hieronymus correctly buzzed in with, "Who is Travis Kelce?" prompting a wide range of responses on platforms like X.

For a section of the fans, the clue seemed unnecessarily harsh. "Jeopardy was NASTY with Travis Kelce today," one viewer commented. Another echoed, "Jeopardy with some Travis Kelce shade tonight."

Even though the remark seemed cutting, Kelce himself appears unbothered, having previously joked about enjoying his role as Swift's "arm candy." The comment should be taken lightly, especially given Kelce's admission that Swift "put him on the map" for people unfamiliar with his football feats.

Kelce's transition to showbiz has been notable. He has hosted "Saturday Night Live" and launched his new game show "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?" on Prime Video. The show's format features celebrities helping contestants answer elementary school-level questions for a chance to win $100,000. Notably, Kelce's relationship with Swift has become a recurring theme on the show, causing both jokes and jabs to come his way.

Interestingly, Travis isn't the only Kelce family member making waves on "Jeopardy!" His brother Jason Kelce made an appearance in a "Jeopardy! Masters" episode earlier this year, reading clues related to himself and his NFL career.

While the "Jeopardy!" clues might rile up fans of both Kelce and Swift, it appears that both celebrities maintain a sense of humor and perspective on the public's fascination with their relationship. Ultimately, such moments add an extra layer of entertainment for viewers, even if they sometimes toe the line of propriety.

It's worth noting that Kelce's impressive career doesn't end with his high-profile relationship. As a three-time Super Bowl champion and a burgeoning acting career, Kelce has made a mark both on and off the field. His ability to balance the spotlight from both his professional and personal life serves as an example for many young fans watching closely.
