WATCH: Justin Timberlake recalls being tackled by Travis Kelce during a golf tournament

Justin Timberlake recalls being tackled by #Chiefs TE Travis Kelce at a golf tournament during an interview on the Tonight Show.

The legend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continues to grow, with his visibility increasing beyond the football field. The latest example occurred on the golf course of all places featuring an iconic pop star.

World famous entertainer Justin Timberlake appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night to share an exciting recent experience with two Chiefs stars.

Timberlake recalled a golf tournament with Fallon, Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes for charity that had a hilarious moment—following Fallon’s successful shot on a hole, he celebrated with Timberlake only to be unexpectedly joined by the Chiefs duo.

“I saw my life flash before my eyes; he went up and did one of those, you know, when they jump, and I was like he’s doing it,” said Timberlake, referring to Kelce’s playful ‘tackle’ celebration. “I have to do it, and I forgot that he weighs like 80 pounds more than me.”

Timberlake jokingly said he couldn’t move his neck for a week after the celebratory tackle. He also confirmed that he does text occasionally with Kelce but not at the moment because he’s busy right now, referring to the Chiefs preparing for this Sunday’s AFC Championship game.

#Chiefs TE Travis Kelce’s tweets were performed by Jimmy Fallon in “The Ballad of Travis Kelce” on The Tonight Show

The popularity of Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce continues to hit new peaks. He was recently searched heavily for old posts or tweets, as they used to be called via the social media platform ‘X.’

Kelce’s hilarious old posts were discussed on many blogs and social media. The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, joined by Tariq Trotter, recently performed a song in honor of the tweets titled “The Ballad of Travis Kelce.”

The hilarious misspellings to his unique sense of humor, Fallon and the Roots frontman, better known as Black Thought, were able to string a few tweets together into a catchy melody. The song ironically sounds perfect for the holiday season so that Chiefs Kingdom can add this to their playlist.

The relationship with pop star Taylor Swift has brought additional eyes to the All-Pro tight end. He’s handled it with grace and good fun as the Chiefs remain focused on bringing home a second consecutive Lombardi trophy this year.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce to appear on ‘The Tonight Show’ with Jimmy Fallon

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is doing a post-Super Bowl media tour and it seems his first stop is to visit Studio 6B in New York.

Kelce is set to join host Jimmy Fallon for a segment on The Tonight Show following the Chiefs’ victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. You can expect plenty of questions about his mom, dad, brother and The New Heights Show after the last two weeks they’ve all had, but he’ll certainly also speak plenty about winning another championship in Kansas City. He might even get asked about his antics at the Super Bowl parade.

This isn’t the first collab between Kelce and Fallon. The two teamed up to prank some NFL reporters by slipping a funny phrase into a press conference back in 2020.

You can watch Kelce’s appearance tonight, Feb. 16 at 10:35 p.m. CT on NBC. Streaming is available via fuboTV (free 7-day trial). 

Kelce will be joined by “Magnum P.I.” actor Jay Hernandez and American Jazz singer Samara Joy as the three guests for tonight’s show.
