Listen, Heidi Gardner doesn't want to take all the credit for being the reason Travis Kelce hosted Saturday Night Live, but I think a little bit is totally fair. The born-and-raised, Kansas City girl and SNL cast member grew up a Chiefs fan, and knew that the hometown hero had the chops to handle the live crowd at New York City's iconic Studio 8H in Rockefeller Plaza.
"I don't want to take full credit from the show and the talent department," she explained during her recent appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. "But I'm just, obviously a big Chiefs fan, and I had seen him do like other little acting gigs and appearances, and I was like, 'He's funny, he's charming.' I had done the ESPYs with him, announcing something together." So she knew up-close-and-personal about his own comedic chops.
