US footballer Travis Kelce has been named as the host of a new game show called Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? for Prime Video.
Filming for the 20-episode season has already been completed.
The premise is a twist on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?, which debuted on Fox in the US in 2007 and was hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.
In Kelce's show, an adult contestant will be given 11 primary school-level questions that they can ask a classroom of various celebrities for help answering.
The final question is worth $100,000 (€117,000).
Only one celebrity is allowed to talk through the answer to the last question with the contestant.
NFL star Kelce, who is dating music superstar Taylor Swift, said in a statement he grew up watching game shows and is "excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons".
"The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone's favourite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining."
He added: "I'm just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up."
This is not Kelce’s first TV gig.
He starred in his own 2016 dating competition show for E! called Catching Kelce and hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live last year.
