Travis Kelce celebrates brother Jason’s cameo on ‘Abbott Elementary’ after the Eagles star appeared with his teammates earlier this month: ‘You’re always on the coolest Philadelphia shows’
Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs was excited to watch his brother Jason make a surprise guest appearance on the inaugural episode of ABC’s sitcom ‘Abbott Elementary’ earlier this month.
While the episode aired before to the Super Bowl, Travis first began reacting to it on this week’s episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast, and he did not hold back his emotions.
“Holy s-t, Jason, you’re on that f-king Abbott Elementary premiere!” Travis, 34, joyfully shouted throughout the episode. ‘Quinta [Brunson] is fantastic, buddy. I adore that show.’
Jason featured in an episode with Eagles teammates Jalen Hurts and Brandon Graham, when the three NFL stars spoke to students and instructors via Zoom during a school career day.
Hurts was also involved in a botched marriage proposal in that episode, which led to Graham and Kelce taunting the quarterback for being late to practice.
Travis has nothing but admiration for the show, which has received 15 Emmy nominations and four wins.
When Hurts outlines the failed proposition, Kelce laughs, ‘Another proposal,’ and Graham says, ‘Jalen, you have say no to this kind of crap.’
‘[Abbott Elementary] has had to be one of my favorites,’ Travis said on the show. ‘I just started binge-watching the first season and haven’t even gotten to the second, but goddammit, you’re always on the coolest Philadelphia shows. Why can’t Kansas City host a show?
‘I appreciate what this program represents,’ Jason explained. ‘Anything that throws light on public education and the Philadelphia school system is quite unique. Quinta does an excellent job, as does the entire Abbott Elementary staff. So I was definitely honored when they asked us to be a part of it.
Jason previously appeared in an episode of the dark comedy show ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ in 2018, following the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory
