Travis Kelce chows down on his favorite snack backstage at Kelce Jam… before taking a whiskey shot from a slice of bread: The athlete is known for ‘pounding’ the frozen sandwiches before Chiefs games

The 34-year-old, who rocked a graphic tee and blue bucket hat, was photographed tucking into a crust-less sandwich before jumping on stage at the rowdy event Saturday. Later in the night, Kelce was seen taking a whiskey shot from a slice of bread in true southern fashion as he let loose.

He was joined on stage by his teammate Patrick Mahomes, along with Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Diplo and DJ Irie, while downing Jim Beam in front of cameras and over 20,000 fans. Meanwhile, Saturday Night Live star Heidi Gardner lifted the lid on what fuels the three-time Super Bowl winner before – and during – a Kansas City game.

She recalled jumping into bed with the athlete to film a 2023 SNL sketch during an appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna this week. ‘I was very protective. I asked him questions, which as a sports fan I am just interested in. Like on game day, what do you eat?’ she said. He was like “oh, Uncrustables. I’m just pounding Uncrustables”. Even during the games, just Uncrustables. So the Saturday of the show I went to the store and got Uncrustables,’ the comedian recalled.

‘I wanted it to feel as much like home as I can. It was cool. Right before dress rehearsal we were in a scene where … we were in bed together but he leaned over into me and said “I’ve been eating Uncrustables all day.”‘ Gardner also revealed that when she was trying to convince SNL boss Lorne Michaels to invite Kelce to host the famed sketch comedy show, he said the tight end had to ‘win the Super Bowl’ before he would be considered. Kelce did just that and took over hosting duties for the March 4, 2023 episode.
