In the monologue, Kelce made fun of himself by revealing some interesting facts about his time in college. Then he joked about his ability to do speeches while trolling his teammate Patrick Mahomes. Then, he joked about his brother Jason and beating him in the Super Bowl. Jason’s serious poker face made the joke even funnier. He was also wearing a pretty weird-looking suit, which also drew plenty of attention from fans.

Kelce reportedly had a fun night after hosting the SNL

Earlier, Page Six reported that Kelce and his family were partying heavily at the Mermaid Oyster Bar in Times Square, where SNL organized their after-party. At the party, SNL’s musical host, Kelsea Ballerini, also joined later with her boyfriend.

Notably, Kelce and Mahomes recently went to Vegas, where they had a pretty amazing party. As per reports, Kelce opened a 6-liter of Champagne bottle and poured it on everyone on the dance floor. Safe to say, the Chiefs players are certainly enjoying their Super Bowl win a lot longer than usual. It will be certainly interesting to see if they can replicate last season’s success in the 2023 season as well, which will be an amazing feat.
