Is Travis Kelce’s Grotesquerie character not real? Jason Kelce has theories on New Heights

Jason has THOUGHTS on Travis’ new role.

Last Wednesday, the new FX thriller drama Grotesquerie starring Niecy Nash premiered with its first two episodes dropping. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has a recurring role on the show, making it his first major television role.

On this week’s new episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis and brother Jason Kelce got into a discussion on the first episode of the Ryan Murphy drama. Travis plays an orderly, and Jason already has a lot of questions.

“I’m gonna need you to stop dodging. Did you boil a baby or not?” Jason asked, doubling down on his tweet from last week.

The former Eagles center continued, throwing out a theory that Travis’ character just isn’t real.

We learned Travis’s character’s name, though:

New episodes of Grotesquerie air on FX every Wednesday.

Travis Kelce’s Grotesquerie co-star Niecy Nash waited for him on the sidelines before Chiefs-Chargers

Nash was excited for her castmate on Sunday afternoon.

The Kansas City Chiefs made the trip out west to face the Los Angeles Chargers for Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season. The back-to-back Super Bowl champions are looking to go 4-0 to start the season, while the Chargers hope to avoid falling to 2-2.

KC tight end Travis Kelce has had a slow start over the first three games, catching just eight passes for 69 yards. Despite the slow start, he remains optimistic and happy to see his team continue winning, even without the personal accolades.

It was a big week for Kelce as his new FX show Grotesquerie debuted, and co-star Niecy Nash was on site in Los Angeles to support him. Before the game, Nash took video that she was looking for Kelce on the sidelines.

Grotesquerie airs on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. ET on FX.

Taylor Swift stickers were used by Grotesquerie’s film crew for the Travis Kelce series

A nice nod to the tight end’s pop-star girlfriend.

The FX show Grotesquerie starring Niecy Nash, Courtney B. Vance and Travis Kelce debuted this week, bringing Ryan Murphy’s gruesome mystery to life. It’s Kelce’s first major acting gig as the Kansas City tight end tries out his chops in front of the camera for a recurring role.

Kelce received high praise from his costars and creator Ryan Murphy, even if his brother, Jason, is convinced he’s a bad guy in the show.

A behind-the-scenes image from filming the series has been making its rounds on social media, showing that the crew had some fun accessories on the camera for shooting.

A very creepy Travis Kelce appears in Grotesquerie trailer for next episode

Travis Kelce seems so creepy.

As far as I can tell — sorry, I haven’t had time to watch yet! — Travis Kelce hasn’t been seen much in the first couple of episodes of Grotesquerie, the new Ryan Murphy FX series.

But there’s a trailer for Episode 3, and we get TWO moments showing the unnamed character he plays being creepy.

In one, he says, “You’re going to regret it,” and the other is: “Want me to plug in the night light so you’re not scared in the dark?”

GAHHHHHHH. I bet one or both of those becomes a meme. Here are those moments and the trailer:

Jason Kelce accuses Travis Kelce of being the killer in Grotesquerie on New Heights

The Chiefs tight end wouldn’t spoil it.

Travis Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champion, and now he’s officially an actor.

While the Kansas City tight end has made a couple one-off appearances on television for shows like Saturday Night Live and Moon Base 8, he’s making his debut as a series regular with Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie on FX.

The show, which is a gruesome murder mystery, premieres on Wednesday night, and Kelce discussed the experience with big brother Jason on the pair’s New Heights podcast.

“I haven’t seen anything yet,” Travis said at the 7:28 mark of this week’s podcast. “I’ve been focused on training camp and football as things have been getting edited and finished. I’ve just been locked in on the season.”

While Travis had access to and read the whole script, he admitted his attention was mainly on his parts so there could be some twists and turns for him as a viewer. “I’m not gonna lie, I focused on my parts more than I understood the entire grand scheme of the show. So there are parts that I was watching the trailer and was like, ‘oh, [expletive] this is, this is, this is really interesting.”

There are no spoilers coming from the long-time Chief, however. Jason accused Travis of being the killer.

“Can’t tell you. You’re going to have to watch,” Travis replied.

The first two episodes of Grotesquerie air on FX at 10 p.m. ET.

According to the Grotesquerie creator, the three-time Super Bowl champ was a pro on set, too. “He worked very hard,” Murphy said. “He knew everybody’s lines, he had great discipline and he is everything you want him to be.”
