Could Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce serve as 'Saturday Night Live' co-hosts?

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 9/9/22

"Saturday Night Live" will open up its 48th season this fall. When Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce was born in 1989, the late-night sketch comedy program was in the early stages of its 15th season. When Chiefs one-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes was born in 1995, the show was entering its 21st year.

Could the pair of Super Bowl LIV champions serve as future co-hosts in the "Big Apple"? If one current "SNL" cast member has her way, Kelce and Mahomes could soon make their small-screen debuts.

Kansas City will open up its 2022 regular season at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

No professional athletes served as hosts during season 47 of "SNL." The last athlete to be a host on the program was Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt in February 2020.
