-You look good, man. You're a stud.
-Alright, alright.
-Come on, Travis Kelce in the house.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-How we doing, guys? Man.
-Couldn't have happened to a better dude, man.
-This is a dream come true, Jimmy.
This is sweet. -Come on, bud.
-Are you kidding me?
-We met each other probably almost a year ago, right?
-Yeah, just about a year ago. Vegas, baby. Vegas.
-We were at -- Justin Timberlake had a golf tournament.
-Mm-hmm. -8:00 a.m. golf tournament.
-Yeah, 8:00 a.m. golf tourney.
-And we play -- And we never met each other, hung out.
We hung out all day and we totally hit it off, I thought.
-I couldn't get away from you, man.
-I know. I was kind of a fanboy.
I kept following you around like, "Hey, Travis.
Hi, bud. Hi, man." Yeah, exactly.
-My favorite part was "Mustang Sally," baby.
-Oh, dude.
-He jumped up on the stage and gave us all --
-We had to rock it out. We had to scream.
I was going nuts. But, dude, we were hanging out.
You were so fun.
I've got to say -- How does it feel now?
This is the second time you won the Super Bowl, bud.
-Man, I'll tell you what -- the first time
was one of the most emotional like, "I finally did it."
-Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
-And then we lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
got our tails whupped pretty good against them.
So that was a low moment.
And then it kind of build back up.
And to get this one, to be back on the mountaintop, man,
I'll tell you what, it's the best feeling in the world.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, buddy.
You were so good. -Oh, yeah.
Especially to do it with the guys we did it with,
the ups and downs through it, the adversity of the season.
It was a lot of fun, man.
-But also to do it with Patrick Mahomes.
That's where I met you. You guys were together.
-Oh, yeah.
-Was that a plan for you guys to hang out on the off-season
and be kind of best friends.
-I think it just happened organically.
It was just like, "Hey, man, what are you doing?
You're about to go to Vegas and play golf?
Alright, let's do it." -Really?
-And it's been awesome since he's been in Kansas City.
He doesn't get enough credit for the type of leader that he is,
the type of just personable guy he is in the locker room.
And it's on and off the field.
He does unbelievable things in the community in Kansas City.
And that's the kind of, you know,
vibe that I like to be around, man.
-Yeah.
-And it was just kind of like magnets when he got to K.C.
-Yeah, but I -- 'Cause I was thinking,
"Oh, maybe this is a plan.
Maybe Andy Reid said, 'Hey, you guys should be best friends.
Just go play with each other.'"
-Just compete and -- -Go to a movie.
Go to a movie, go do something,
go watch Netflix for an afternoon or something, yeah.
-It started with the, "Hey, do you drink beers?
Do you drink beer?" -Yeah. Yeah.
-Because I like to drink beers. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-It sounds like we could have some fun.
-Yeah, exactly. And you guys bonded.
I just thought it was great, and you have great chemistry
and it's real.
It's not fake at all.
I witnessed it for a weekend. It was, like, so cool to watch.
The parade was yesterday. -Yes.
-So I want to thank you for being here today.
-Oh, man, I almost didn't make it.
-I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
I was actually -- I was thinking about --
I was going to call Jason if you didn't show up.
I'm like, "Dude, get over here.
[ Cheers and applause ] Jason, get over here right now."
Everyone's always asking about your brother.
But that must have been just a bizarre thing
to be playing in the Super Bowl with your brother.
-Man, it was -- You know, you always dream growing up that
you're going to one day be in the Super Bowl,
especially when my brother's the reason why I even play football.
Like -- Yeah, exactly.
When I was growing up -- I'm two years younger than my brother.
And that's about as drunk as I was at the parade right there.
That's me
-That's during the parade yesterday?
-Yeah, that's me.
That's full parade form right there.
-Oh, my God.
I thought this was when you were a kid.
This is yesterday. -No, this is yesterday.
Yeah, growing up in Cleveland, Ohio,
I followed his footsteps in a lot of areas,
sports being one of them and football
definitely being one of them.
And you always imagine, you know, playing on the same team,
but, man, I'll tell you what, the way the football world
and everybody embraced my family and me and my brother
playing against each other --
for the first time, two brothers playing against each other
in the Super Bowl.
It was cool to break that barrier and see my family
and all the light and getting all the glory.
Man, it was beautiful.
-I mean, 'cause when you were a kid, like there --
You're probably in your front yard or something?
-Yeah, probably 3 or 5 years old, maybe.
-Yeah, and what's the big Super Bowl there?
Like, you're like -- I don't know what it is.
Like, Thanksgiving? -Exactly.
-Like a Turkey Bowl or something?
-Exactly. -Yeah.
-Just excited we got costumes
and we can look like football players.
-Yeah. Here's you and your brother
at this year's Super Bowl.
-Alright, now. -Yeah.
All the cameras got you right there saying,
"Hey, I love you, bro."
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I also got to give a shout-out.
Your mom has been the cutest for this whole ride,
'cause everyone is like, "Who are you rooting for?
What son do you like better?" You know, all that stuff.
And she's been so cool.
And I've got to show you the jacket.
Here's what Mama Kelce was wearing.
-Split right down the middle right there.
-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
You see the red side's on that left right there.
-Yeah.
-It's right there next to that heart.
She knows. Mama knows best. Mama knows best.
-I mean, mama knows best.
-That right shoe looked way better than the left shoe.
No offense, guys. No offense, guys.
-I know this is tough for The Roots to be --
'Cause they're just such Philly fans.
But you know what? No one picked -- Look at this.
No one picked you guys to win at all, none of the experts.
-The experts. -The experts.
-The experts say that, yeah, the Chiefs were out of it
way back in April, I think.
We lost a big-name wide receiver,
one of my favorite teammates ever, Tyreek Hill,
and they thought that it was just -- it was over for us.
And that's why being on that mountaintop, man,
it just felt that much sweeter, man.
-But did you feel -- [ Cheers and applause ]
'Cause watching the Super Bowl, I thought you were out.
I've got to be honest.
I mean, that second half
and when Patrick started limping off the field,
I go, "Oh, gosh."
-10-point lead, man.
Don't give Pat Mahomes 10 points,
because he will just floor it.
-Really? He's like, "Don't tell me no."
-Yeah, he got -- It will probably go down
as one of my favorite speeches.
At halftime, he got electric, man.
He lit a fire in everybody's tail just to, you know,
want it that much more.
And when you can do that with a group of men, man,
that's a special human being right there.
-Yeah, and you got everyone hyped up and you came back.
It was an unbelievable comeback.
-Second half was a lot of energy, man.
A lot of energy. A lot of passion.
-We have a big announcement that
we're going to announce here on the show tonight.
I'm very excited about this.
You're going to be back in our building in a few weeks.
Can you say why you're coming back?
-Yeah, for sure.
I mean, growing up, I was a huge, like,
Farley, Ferrell, Fallon kind of guy growing up.
And, yeah, I used to watch "Saturday Night Live"
with my mother.
And it's an absolute honor and a privilege
to be hosting "SNL" March 4th.
