Because the Chiefs are coming off their bye week, it’s been nine long days since fans have seen their favorite team in action.

But worry not, because there will be two ways to watch a Chiefs player on Wednesday. Call it Travis Kelce Day.

The newest episode of “Grotesquerie” will air on FX, so perhaps we’ll see more of his character, Ed Laclan, and possibly additional talk about banana hammocks.

Over on Amazon Prime, Kelce’s “Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity” game show debuts Wednesday.

Here’s a description of the show, which is a reboot of “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader” (via Amazon): “Each game will welcome an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from comedy, screen, and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects, pulled from elementary curriculum, in an effort to win a $100,000 prize.”

Amazon Prime shared a closer look at Kelce, the game-show host, on YouTube.
