Editor's Note: The real schedule-release video drop was full of jokes for every NFL opponent the Chiefs will face in 2026 — and featured famous hosts.
The Chiefs decided take it back to the days of television infomercial shopping in their video released Thursday night.
Comedians Rob Riggle (a Shawnee Mission South High School graduate) and Lisa Gilroy co-hosted QVChiefs — instead of QVC — to present a product to go with every game on the schedule.
Weaved throughout are the stylings of Riggle and Gilroy, or “Bruce” and “Gayle,” who rib each other on in back-and-forth-banter.
Items for sale included a jar of Mile High air (Denver Broncos), Green-Be-Gone cream (New York Jets), Indestructi-Bill Tailgate Table (Buffalo Bills) and Football Guy Starch in honor of the khaki pants frequently worn by Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Of course, they saved one of the most unique gifts for the rival Cincinnati Bengals: a loaded chili candle, with beans. Initially at a price-point of $19.99, the cost was slashed to “free” once Gilroy took a whiff and immediately began dry-heaving. Coughing, she was also bleeped for some colorful language.
“It is a robust ... aroma,” Riggle struggled to say after taking a whiff of his own.
For the Chiefs’ Week 15 home game against New England, the item was Patriots memorabilia signed by such great players from the past as Thomas Jefferson. Cost: $17.76. Riggle then pulled out a copy of the Declaration of Independence.
Donna Kelce even made an appearance for KC’s Week 16 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Riggle showed a copy of a fake VHS tape with the title “The Faithfuls.” It included a picture of Donna Kelce and cost $13.78.
That was an ode to Kelce’s run on the TV game show “The Traitors,” from which she was eliminated in January.
“America’s favorite mom was robbed of a generational run on a certain reality show,” Riggle said.
“It felt a little funny being a faithful, but now I can dominate the competition, just like I always should have,” Kelce said in her cameo.
The final joke was for the Las Vegas Raiders — with a shovel, or Excavator 5800 ($7.77), as a nod to the construction worker who buried a Chiefs flag at Allegiant Stadium during its build in Las Vegas.
“That really gets down there, too. Deep, deep below the surface, to uncover all sorts of hidden secrets,” Riggle said.
“Yep, it’ll dig up all your red flags,” Gilroy said. “Wish I had this before I married (gestures to Riggle) this guy.”
And it wouldn’t have been a Chiefs social-media moment unless Taylor Swift was acknowledged.
For the Chiefs’ Week 3 road game against the Miami Dolphins, “A Really Hard Rock” was the item to buy. That was a reference to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, where KC won Super Bowl LIV. It’s priced at $999.99.
Taylor Swift’s video for her song “Opalite” features Swift as a “lonely woman” with a Pet Rock. The video is shot in a 1990s-era style, like the Chiefs’ video.
Swifties also connected some of the banter to Swift’s song “Wood,” which may or may not boast of Kelce’s hip-movement skills.
“Say, this is a really hard rock,” Gilroy said while holding it.
“If you find a harder rock, this hard rock is free,” Riggle said.
As Taylor Swift sings on “Wood,” Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet, mm/To know a hard rock is on the way.
There’s also a number shown in the schedule-release video (1-888-343-6642) that connects fans to gifts and voicemails from Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, wide receiver Xavier Worthy and tight end Kelce.
