How much money did Travis Kelce get for hosting SNL?

The exact amount that Travis Kelce made from hosting Saturday Night Live remains unknown, since the tight end never revealed it anywhere. But we can evaluate Kelce’s payment with the help of previous records of payments made to hosts, which vary depending on their star value and negotiating power.

According to multiple reports, Saturday Night Live typically pays around $25,000 to $50,000 to their hosts, depending on their celebrity status. Besides, there have been more specific reports in the past that Justin Timberlake receives $50000 per appearance, but he revealed that it was just base pay.

So, we can assume a star athlete like the Chiefs TE Travis Kelce fell within the typical pay range between $25,000 and $50,000, but without an official source, no one can ever know for sure how much he really got paid.

How did Travis Kelce felt about hosting SNL?

Travis Kelce first announced that he would be hosting an SNL episode during his appearance on The Jimmy Fallon Show. Kelce said he was “super excited and pumped” about hosting the comedy show.

“I used to watch Saturday Night Live with my mother, and it’s an absolute honor and a privilege to be hosting SNL [on] March 4,” Kelce said, before adding, “I am so nervous for that, oh my gosh.”

Nevertheless, Kelce went on to absolutely nail the show. He opened the show with a monologue that touched the subjects like his recent Super Bowl victory and mentioned his brother Jason Kelce who was in attendance. Kelce certainly proved that he doesn’t have to worry about a second career when he retires from football.
