Travis Kelce leaves NFL fans in stitches with ‘pure gold’ SNL promo as Chiefs star channels Indiana Jones
NFL star Travis Kelce has wowed fans with a promo for his Saturday Night live debut.
The Chiefs tight end, 33, makes his hosting bow on the NBC sketch comedy series this weekend.
Kelce won his second Super Bowl ring after Kansas City defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 on February 9.
He is set to present SNL alongside fellow host debutant and country-pop star Kelsea Ballerini.
And hype amongst fans has reached fever-pitch after an "incredible" promo for March 4's show was released on Wednesday.
In the short clip, Kelce is seen dressed as movie icon Indiana Jones.

And a fourth wondered: "Hoping Patrick [Mahomes] does a cameo on Saturday night."
