Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been making headlines this year thanks to his Super Bowl win and his girlfriend (a pop star you may have heard of: Taylor Swift) but that doesn’t mean everyone is familiar with his name.

Breaking Bad actress Krysten Ritter and her fellow Celebrity Wheel of Fortune contestants — designer Christian Siriano and Schitt’s Creek actress Sarah Levy — were all stumped when a puzzle about Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, came up in the family category.

The puzzle, which simply read “Travis & Jason Kelce” proved difficult for the celebs, even as the letters “K” and “C” in Kelce were the only ones left to guess.

“Uh, if you’re still in trouble here, go ahead and spin,” host Pat Sajak instructed, per People.

“What is this word?” Siriano asked after Ritter successfully guessed C.

Fortunately, Ritter eventually figured out the last two letters of the famed siblings’ name, but she still mispronounced it! “Travis and Jason Kels,” Ritter guessed. She added, “I don’t know who they are.”

Levy was familiar with them because of Swift. “It’s the Taylor Swift thing!” Levy said. “Sadly, it’s the only reason why I know who [they are]. Is it Travis Kelce? One plays for the Chiefs.”

Siriano had his own excuse for not knowing about the Kelce brothers.

“I make clothes for a living,” he said.

Fans at home enjoyed the exchange. “This was great. @Krystenritter & the other Celebrity Wheel of Fortune contestants all having no idea who @tkelce & @JasonKelce are for the solve,” one fan wrote on X.

Another said, “But the contestants didn’t know who they were! Lol, they were totally clueless and said the last name ‘wrong’. Ah, man! Even with Travis dating TSwift!”

Other fans were left wondering “what rocks these celebrities are living under,” while some joked that the Kelce brothers are “not so famous after all.”

Fortunately, Ritter still ended up winning $48,250 for her charity of choice, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune airs on ABC Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
