Asked for a Christmas gift idea for Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce ahead of Wednesday’s win in Pittsburgh, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was admittedly stumped.
‘The guy’s got everything,’ Mahomes said in the segment, which ran during Netflix’s Christmas Day doubleheader. ‘Maybe some acting lessons.’
Adams couldn’t help but burst out laughing, perhaps due to the timeliness of the suggestion.
Kelce, who has already dipped his toe into acting by hosting Saturday Night Live, has a cameo in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel.
And in either a remarkable coincidence, or a shameless exhibit of corporate synergy, a preview for the upcoming Netflix release ran during the Chiefs’ 29-10 win over the Steelers.
The Chiefs tight end appears in the preview alongside music star Bad Bunny and ‘Modern Family’ actress Julie Bowen – a holdover from the original 1996 comedy.

Travis Kelce appeared to be a hotel or country club employee in the ‘Happy Gilmore’ trailer
Dressed as a hotel or country club employee, Kelce greets the eponymous film’s main character in the brief clip.
‘It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore,’ he said.
Bad Bunny also appears in the 34-second clip and is seen playing the part of Gilmore’s caddy on a golf course.
Kelce scored largely positive reviews for his 2023 appearance on SNL. What’s more, the 35-year-old is facing retirement rumors at a time when Hollywood appears to be calling.
Of course, Kelce isn’t done with football just yet. The three-time Super Bowl champion surpassed the 1,000-catch plateau and broke the Chiefs’ all-time touchdown record with his 77th career score on Wednesday.
Kelce has eight catches for 84 yards in the game, bringing his season total of receptions to 97. He now has 1,004 catches in his career.
He and Mahomes will likely sit during the Chiefs regular season finale next week on the road against the Broncos with homefield advantage secured through the AFC Championship.
