• Chiefs' Travis Kelce reveals what he wanted to say at White House podium before Patrick Mahomes stopped him

The team’s tight end during both Super Bowl runs, Kelce told his brother Jason Kelce on their New Heights podcast he was excited to visit the White House for the first time on Monday. With childlike wonder, Kelce joked with his brother that he wanted to “see the hidden Oval Office” during the team’s visit and referred to discovering tucked away secrets from the plot of Nic Cage’s National Treasure. I wanted to go up there and, I shouldn’t have started off with ‘I’ve always wanted to do this,’ Kelce said. Earlier this week, when the Chiefs visited the White House, Kelce deviously approached the microphone at the podium and started to say, “I’ve always wanted to do this …” before his quarterback Patrick Mahomes swiftly whisked him away. "Obviously, the president at the podium, it's iconic, right?" Kelce said.

The team gathered behind a podium while Biden delivered an address and head coach Andy Reid spoke. Then, the Commander in Chief stepped aside with Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes for a photo opp with a custom Chiefs jersey featuring Biden's name and the No. 46 — he is the 46th president of the United States. Despite winning the Super Bowl three times in their history, the visit marked the first time that the franchise met with a sitting president and toured the White House. And the tradition had not yet been in place when the Chiefs won the Vince Lombardi trophy in 1970.

Besides his celebratory parade antics, Kelce has flexed his comedic chops as the host of SNL back in early March. Since he wasn't still on set at 30 Rockefeller Center, his time making a "presidential address" was cut short, unlike Kansas City's reign over the NFL with two championships in the last four seasons. On the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast, Kelce revealed what he wanted to say if Mahomes hadn't arrived in time.

The video sees Mahomes and Kelce posing with Biden, who is holding up a Kansas City Chiefs jersey with the president's name and the number 46 (he is the 46th U.S. president). After they finish their photo op, Kelce sees his opportunity and wanders over to the unmanned podium. “Obviously, the president, at the podium, it’s iconic, and how he addresses the public — to my fellow Americans. Some temporary chaos ensued when Biden, the 46th president of the United States, took pictures with Kelce and Super Bowl LVII MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes while holding a customized Chiefs jersey with his name and number 46 on it. Kelce snuck over to the podium adorned with the presidential seal after a couple photos to begin a speech of his own. After the photo, the president, 80, turned his back to the podium to lay the jersey down and Kelce scooted over to the microphone.

The Kansas City Chiefs star tight end hilariously walked up to the microphone to speak during the team’s visit to the White House to celebrate its Super Bowl victory, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes quickly shut him down. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce represented the team and presented Biden with a Chiefs jersey. As Kelce turned away, he stepped in front of the presidential podium and the microphone. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is all about the rights of the people, especially the right to party. He tested the limits of those rights when the Super Bowl LVII champion Kansas City Chiefs visited the White House on Monday.

"It's iconic, and how he usually addresses the nation is, 'To my fellow Americans.' That's all I wanted to say, dude." “He usually addresses the nation to ‘my fellow Americans’ and that’s all I wanted to say,” Kelce said on his podcast. "What a time to be a Chiefs fan. Team wins. Kelce and Mahomes are national treasures. Seems unreal since following this team in the 90s," @Phillip_Clyde wrote. Another praised the athletes-turned-comedy duo, "My favorite football duo @PatrickMahomes and @tkelce have charisma for days," they said. The light-hearted moment on the presidential stage delighted Kansas City Chiefs fans, who are still seemingly riding high after this year's Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The moment was tweeted out by NFL journalist Ari Meirov with the 20-second video having been viewed over 2.1 million times.

Then Joe got serious for a moment, pointing out Trump's "attack on our democracy." President Joe Biden put on his comedy hat at the White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner Saturday – throwing a major barb at Donald Trump for standing trial over a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Kelce, one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, has a chance to eclipse the 1,000 receptions mark this season, standing at 907 over his 10 full seasons. Spotrac reported that Kelce’s two-year, $34.25 million extension runs through 2027 providing him with guaranteed money in 2024 and the highest average annual value -- $17.125 million -- for a tight end in NFL history.

"I shouldn't have started off with, 'I've always wanted to do this,'" Kelce said. However, Mahomes quickly moved to remove his top target from the podium since people who aren't President of the United States should not use the seal for their own personal use.

"Pat has his secret service gig already lined up after retirement," Twitter user @samtrevlicrow wrote in response to the video, noting Mahomes' swift intervention while wearing a smart suit and sunglasses. Many other comments underneath Meirov's video simply featured fans reacting with flames or laughing emojis. The moment got the journalists and the rest of the team laughing at the light-hearted exchange. Kelce is no stranger to the stage having hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live earlier in 2023. With the benefit of hindsight, Kelce said he probably should have just launched right into what he wanted to say.

Jost has been the co-anchor of “Weekend Update,” along with Michael Che, since 2014, and started writing for SNL in 2005. Christi Carras reports on the entertainment industry for the Los Angeles Times. She previously covered entertainment news for The Times after graduating from UCLA and working at Variety, the Hollywood Reporter and CNN Newsource.

Players spent time with President Biden, toured the building, and then lined up for an official picture. WASHINGTON — It is the moment Chief’s Kingdom has been talking about all week. But amid the festivities, the best part came when Kelce tried to sneak away to the microphone and deliver a speech at the White House. President Joe Biden welcomed the Kansas City Chiefs to the White House on Monday to celebrate their Super Bowl 57 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

During his speech, he poked fun at his marriage to Johansson and their varying levels of fame when he addressed second gentleman Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris. "It's been a long wait to stand before you," coach Andy Reid said during his speech, referring to the 2020 cancellation. "We're fired up. We missed the first one due to COVID but we are here strong, man. Kansas City strong."

Last week on an episode of Kelce’s New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, Travis said that he was psyched for the Washington, D.C. Mahomes, wearing a sharp light-blue suit, posted a carousel of photos to his Instagram Story, including a selfie featuring the quarterback, Chad Henne and Skyy Moore posed along the steps outside the Rose Garden. Biden delivered individual compliments to quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and head coach Andy Reid during his statement. Later, he honored the late Norma Hunt, whose husband Lamar founded the NFL team. Kelce could only say, "So, I've been waiting for this ..." before Mahomes stepped in and pulled him back to join the rest of the team. Everyone treated the situation with humor, including Mahomes, who sheepishly apologized as he and his tight end stepped away from the podium.

The “Black Widow” star donned a strapless white gown for the occasion, while Jost opted for a tuxedo jacket and matching pants and a black bowtie. The 2024 White House Correspondents’ Dinner was a star-studded event, including TODAY’s Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie in addition to NBC News’ Lester Holt and Kristen Welker. Jost also referenced Johansson later in his speech, taking a moment to thank his family and friends for attending the event to support him.
