Because former teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster is getting married Saturday, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is not participating in the 2026 American Century Golf tournament in Nevada.

But actor and “Big Slick” co-host Rob Riggle is in Nevada, and he was asked by a couple of outlets about The Wedding.

You know, the one that took place a week ago involving Kelce and his wife, superstar singer Taylor Swift.

Riggle was asked by Entertainment Tonight his favorite part of the ceremony.

“Just to be invited,” Riggle said with a laugh. “It was a beautiful wedding. It was a really special day. I was very happy for the bride and groom, and it was beautiful. It was actually really beautiful, and the ceremony was lovely, and it was just a really cool, special thing to be a part of.”

Riggle said he didn’t take part in the karaoke fun at the wedding, because of the number of musicians on hand. But he was blown away to hear Paul McCartney.

“It’s everything you think it would be and more,” Riggle said. “It was really special.”

People Magazine caught up with Riggle, too. He said the ceremony, which was at Madison Square Garden in New York City, was everything a couple could want.

And Riggle praised actor Adam Sandler, who officiated the ceremony.

“It was a beautiful night,” Riggle said. “It was two very real people having a wonderful wedding, and I though Adam absolutely nailed it. Tears and laughter, you can’t ask for more than that when you run the gauntlet of emotion. So that was wonderful, and it was beautiful, and it was an honor to be there and witness it because it was special. It was a beautiful night.”
